A soldier wearing Platanenmuster zeltbahn as camouflage, with an Sturmbannführer of a Totenkampf unit in a non-regulation jacket tailor-made in the style of the regulation Feldbluse (tunic) from a Zeltbahn of the same material, its green woolen collar salvaged from an old tunic. These field made jackets were popular among officers and senior NCOs; in the summer they allowed the display of rank insignia without the necessity of wearing a wool tunic under a camouflage garment.
