Original or repro?
Heer splinter or SS camo zelt?

Compare it to your references on SS Camo smocks.
What do you think?
How are the colours?
Does the Camo pattern match originals?
Has the cloth been cut correctly?

You need 16 zelts and it's usually called the 'zelthaus'?
It's in the manual. 4 sections for the top and 3 for each of the 4 'walls'.

You can use a Brit style button stick and a wire brush.
