Okay, I realize I may be asking this at the risk of sounding stupid, but what is a zelt? In the spirit of learning, I'm sure it's just better to ask.

[werner]

It's a shelter quarter.

Zelt = tent
Zeltplane or Zeltbahn = shelter quarter (translater says tarpaulin too)

Kameraden,
The colors on this zelt are very crisp indeed. I have a question about the construction. By the fotos the button holes appear to be straight cut, like the button holes on a shirt. On all my German zelts (SS as well as Heer) all the button holes are keyhole cut, not straight. I realize the oak zelts were one of the latest produced patterns for zelts but the oak I have has keyhole shaped button holes.
How common were straight cut button holes on WW2 German zelts??

its not uncommon Sepp,I have seen ss second model smocks with this typ of button holes perhaps a late war construction,but its ok

Besslein,
Thank you for your reply! A later war simplification, that makes a lot of sense! The pattern, the material, and the grommets all looked great. Those button holes just threw me.

Thanks,
Sepp
