Nice pictures ....

I'm lucky to have 2 blankets with blue en red stripes

But....... does anyone know how to correctly fold a blanket so that it actually fits a tornister ??? I can remember we talked about this before, but I haven't been able to find the answer on this one

Please help !!!!

The cream colored blanket with one blue and one red stripe are only one pattern of blanket used by the Germans in WWII.

This style of blanket is WWII, but saw use in hospitals, lazaretts, and - as seen here - on San.-trains, in this case on "Lazarettzug 65", dated 1941.

Not meant for field-use - but of course some might found their way to the frontline.
