Dak Zelt

No such thing. They were issued the standard continental zelt.

Those are French Indochine 1947 - 1954.

You can find them here: http://www.sposelection.com/product_inf ... c678b6d2b7

And you can make nice Zeltbahn tents from them and cheap as hell (I have 12 of them);

Exactly, so not DAK.
French shelter halves of the war period were square. Those do turn up as captured swag in N.Africa.
As do the tan Italian telo. French shirts were common in the DAK too.
Nothing to stop you using them to make a tent for events but as a zelt nut they are not correct as a replacement for splinter.
A fiver is a bargain though, I think you can never have enough zelts.

Danke!

I even told her that as 25th is silver and 50th is gold that 19th really was wool, leather and steel but she didn't fall for it

I've even given up the fags so should be ready to rock by end of August

After months of antisipation and waiting... :happydance: :happyswing:
-- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available --

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942
