    Hello,
    what the soldier was issued as Zeltbahn items related was called Zeltausrüstung 31. It included a M31 Zeltbahn, a M92 Zeltleine (string), a M01 Zeltstock (tent pole) and two M29 Zeltpflöcken (tent pegs).

      I have heard that 3 tent poles were issued to each soldier so that when combined with a comrade they would have a complete tent. 2 shelter halves combined to form 1 tent, 3 poles in the front and 3 in the rear. 3 spikes, 1 for each corner and 1 on each guy rope and 1-2 guy ropes, for the front and rear as stabilizers. some soldiers were also issued a tent pole carrying bag but that was not the norm I believe.

        According to the manual the Zeltausrüstung was:

        1 Zeltbahn 31, dreieckig (triangular)
        1 Zeltleine, 2 m lang
        1 Zeltstock, vierteilig
        2 Zeltpflöcke

        Not clear is if this was given to a soldier. Many people say that each soldier was equiped with only 1 part of the Zeltstock, but as you can see the manual indicates the the Zeltstock consisted of 4 parts. So this suggests that each soldier was equiped with 1 Zeltstock (which consisted of 4 parts)

          unfortunately I dont know what any of this means. Glenn

              thanks JPhilip. guess I dont read between all the lines always. on Peters site He states different but if you Guys got the info straight from a manual I would say that takes precedent. Glenn

                Hi Glenn

                I have a couple of examples of Zelt gear on my website for comparison too.

                  No problem Glenn, maybe I should have mentioned the translation with the german words

                  If everything goes well, I will receive the original H.Dv. 205/1 Zeltausrüstung des Mannes (Personal Tent Equimpent) next week. Maybe that will shed some light on the issue.

                  I'll be back (Going on Holliday now to Calais (Batterie Todt)
