Zeltbahn pouch

[edelweiss]

The WH had the pouch in Splittertarn, so in what camouflage had the SS their pouch or they had the plain ones?

Or just wrap the zelt around the poles and stuff?

Tent Pole pouches an any Camo. were not the norm, though they were made in limited numbers ... most of the so called "Camo" pouches are postwar creations. I've never seen or recall "SS" Camo. versions... except for the "Swiss" versions that were often sold as "SS Dot Camo."... so I can't really help with your question.

By 1944/45 I doubt "tent pole pouches" were top on the priority list.... they did what was convient/easy "on the move"...

Thanks Then i just take the plain pouches

I don't believe that any pouches were an issued item in ww2. They're not in the Zeltbahn manual, nor in the Soldbuch is there a space to list them.

Many 3rd Reich political forces still used them (NSDAP,SA, NSKK, A-SS, RAD,etc.), but you're right (of course) the older style tent peg pouches are more WW 1 and Reichswehr/prewar... when speaking about Wehrmacht & W-SS

Kinda miss-spoke... happens sometimes!
Thanks for setting thing right.
