Hi Alec, it is Italian Army issue. These can also be found in camo material. I don't know about the markings, sorry.
Cheers, Ade.

I can't find a German Abteilung numbered 282 that makes any sense with 'AD'...
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

Re: Südfront Zeltbahn - Up for review ?
Matt - Showed a friend the zeltbahn, the secret of identifying this zeltbahn, is he says, the markings. He says, Freiwilliger Arbeitsdienst FAD, a organization I'd not heard of. The precurser of RAD was founded 1931, later 1933 I believed renamed o or intergrated into RAD. Back to the markings - ADGauXXVI = Arbeits Dienst Gau XXVI (26 Württember)
AD Abt.282/4 = Arbeitsdienst Abteilung 282/4
If RAD it would have RAD stamp.
Best Wishes

Re: Südfront Zeltbahn - Up for review ?
The plot thickens then. Is this poncho triangular or square? I am worried that I might have made a mistake. I was saying Italian based upon the throat closure flap. Italian zelts are square.
If it is triangular, it might be some unknown (to me) German para-military pattern.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Alec. I know of the FAD and my only reference is an old model makers magazine from the 1970's and God knows where that is buried! Paramilitary stuff is really getting outside of my collecting experience, but I strongly suspect your friend is correct.
Cheers, Ade.
