Zeltbahn's or Half Shelters were a fairly important piece of kit for the Wehrmacht infantryman during WW2. The pattern used on these personal tents/ponchos and of course also on many uniforms was known as Splittertarn (among other names). While working on a small infantry diorama we started thinking about the possibility of printing a Splittertarn pattern onto some thin card (on both sides to reflect the lighter shade underneath), or onto some nice paper stock to experiment with the results. First thing to do was to find a vector pattern of the camouflage, but after a lot of searching, we couldn't find a vector pattern to download anywhere. So we made one using Adobe Illustrator and thought we would share it with anyone who needs it. Getting the colours right I think is a matter of personal preference, we prepared three variants, judge
