Hello,

today I was in need of the measurements of the german Zeltbahn of WW2. During my research I came across an excellent reference site dedicated to the German Zeltbahn (don't know, why some honours a tent ).

So I want to share this link, because it maybe very useful for both Diorama builders and figure modellers:

Zeltbahn.net

Enjoy.

Thanks Patrick for a link to one of those really interesting sites that you rarely come across in searching the web. I am sure that it will be seen as a great reference site. I had not realised the great many uses that the zeltban could be used as and the camouflage will be a great help in bulding models and dioramas.

I have already visited it and am about to return for a more in depth study.

Hi Patrick,

Very nice of you to post up the site. I was actually looking around for the dimensions and overall shape myself for my recent desert dio but seeing as I didn't find anything I left it out.

I tried to click on the site you provided but it seems to be under construction or something.

Jim, maybe you can comment on the measurements. There are a little hard to identify on the small graphic.
