Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody had a Kriegsmarine hammock. I bought one a few years ago when I was in Rostock, but all the ropes had been cut off it. I finally found some hempen rope and triangular rings, but I was never sure exactly how long the ropes should be. Not knowing any better, I rigged it up with all ropes the same length. Does anybody have one they are willing to measure? If I ever get the chance to sleep on a Uboat in it, I don't want to have to shorten it then and there! It sleeps well, especially if you shove some sort of board between the ropes on the head end of it.
I'm also missing the ropes you tie it into a roll with...not sure how exactly they were sewn on.
I've also got a netting hammock, (For landing parties?) in pretty good shape, but I've only crawled into that one once...
Thanks,
Dave
