Create own WW2 German Zeitbahn Tent

they seem to have camo tents available



Not sure what company makes these!?

The real thing

These sheets were apparently also used as raincoats as well as a tent

My first attempt


You can create your own German tents by using x4 triangles arranged to look like my design.
Add some extra flaps to glue together to form a pyramid-type design.

Cut along one 'pole' from bottom to top.
Use toothpick to roll tent-flap a little to show tent opening
I downloaded these camouflaged covers in triangle shapes and simply edited a little to fit inside the triangle. Copy and paste!

I am not sure about the camo colors: the black and white is obviously for winter
The SS also had one.....?
