Swiss camouflage patterns
- Zelteinheiten 1901 pattern. A splinter pattern resembling the German WW2 pattern.
Used from around 1938 to 1955. The pattern was used for rectangular shelter halves. The pattern on one side was overprinted with small yellow dots (on the right on the image below).
- ↑ Despite the patterns being quite similar there are a number of differences between the Swiss and the German shelter halves/zeltbahns: - the Swiss shelter is rectangular, the German triangular; the German zeltbahn is not having the yellow dots on one of the sides; there is green "lines" through the brown areas of the Swiss pattern - sometimes connecting the green areas. The German Zeltbahn does not have these lines - The Swiss shelter does at least sometime have a "coin" with the manufacturer etc. - German Zeltbahns do never.
