Gebirgsjäger Tents

Two photographs showing unidentified Gebirgsjäger units in an encampment in hilly terrain. The soldiers have used a number of shelter quarters for housing a number of troops. These field tents were of standard design and had a fly tarp erected over it to provide insulation from the sun in order to reduce intensive heat inside the tent. These shelter quarter encampments could be quickly erected by the troops, and were an important part in a soldier training. Without adequate shelter in the mountain regions, a soldier would easily become exposed to freezing temperatures and, as a consequence, could die.
