#24 Original WWI German Zeltbahn Tent Set + rope 1915 « Bulgarian Militaria « Military Equipment « Home
We offer you an original WWI army Zeltbahn tent set of poles. The poles were made in Germany and were delivered to the Bulgarian royal army, as it was Germany’s ally in WWI. They are in authentic very good condition despite the years that have passed. This model of poles was used by Germany and its allies during both world wars. Every soldier carried a tent (plascht) and a set of poles together with the rest of his equipment. The bag of poles used to be attached to the havierbag by means of two straps with buttons. The set we offer comprises:
>> 3 tent poles, with metal grummets. Long 38,5 cm/ 15 inches each , oNe of them is marked - the authentic ink stamp reeds something like: "HERM FLOHR CORN 1915"
The Zeltbahn is a WWI model that was used in WWII, too. It was carried by each German soldier as part of his personal equipment. It was basically a triangular shaped waterproof ‘quarter shelter’. These quarter shelters could be joined together using the metal buttons to make four, eight or sixteen man tents. At the bottom edge of the zeltbahn there were grommets for threading a drawstring and in each corner there were larger grommets for pegs and at the top, one for a tent pole. Each man was also issued with a 2 metre tent rope, a section of tent pole (four sections were joined to make a complete pole) and two tent pegs made of resin, steel or aluminium. These items were carried in a small pouch.
