                Standard German Army blanket, the kind as would have been wrapped around the Tornister, was gray with a red stripe on one side and a blue stripe on the other.

                They're really hard to find and a must-have in order to complete the backpack, but strangely, when you do find one they're usually "cheap" -- around $100 to 200.

                    Hi Guys
                    I have just added in my preceding message a picture of a German soldier with this type of cover.
                    I found this photograph a few moments ago on the forum.
                    Best regards, olivier

                        Search for "Italian blanket" and you will find exactly these blankets for $20.00.

                              The blanket in question is not german. German ones are simple grey, with the stripes mentioned, but without those white stripes as shown here. And german blankets are at least marked in one corner, usually "H.U." and an eagle.
