COMO PRODUZIR E UTILIZAR UM

Zeltbahn (Meio-abrigo)
Foot Soldiers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make a poncho for a foot soldier, you would fold the zeltbahn in the manner shown in
Figure A. The center "neck" hole is in the middle with the two corners brought to the
front and buttoned together. You then would button the top and side flaps together with
the top (middle) flap being on top. This is to allow the water to run over not into the
seam. You will leave some of the upper portion buttons undone to allow for the arms to
be passed through. Finally, you pull the zeltbahn over your head and put your arms
through the armholes. Note that the flap seams are worn in the front.

Bicyclists
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make a poncho for a soldier riding a bicycle, you would fold the zeltbahn in the manner shown in Figure B &
C. Begin as if you were doing a dismounted zeltbahn, but instead of just having the top (middle) flap reach the
bottom of the two sides, you would make the middle flap short. This will leave the first two buttons on the
sides undone (note the fingers pointing in Figure B). Wrap the side corners around the upper thigh and button
them to the inner side, creating a leg like shown in Figure C.

Camouflage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The average Heer units did not receive issued camouflage clothing. To counter this they used their shelter half
(zeltbahns) since they were made of camouflage material. Basically, to achieve this standard camouflage look,
you would follow the instructions for the Foot Soldier Poncho. Once this is done and put on, then you would
put your equipment on over top the poncho. This will create a camouflage "smock" look.
