Tent Manuals
We understand how difficult it can be to correctly set up some of the original WWII tents, which is why we offer not only the individual manual sections for the most popular tents but also the full original tent manuals from 1945, 1964, and 1970. Each manual has tents that are applicable to reenactors regardless of their publishing year. Please view their table of contents below for a better understanding of what is included in each.
