German WWII Mosquito Netting-This is a mosquito netting. In addition to the tents used by the German Army, a net for protection against mosquitos and other biting insects, were also used. These were made of a light mesh in an olive-green color. These were generally large enough to cover a bed or to be used as an individual cover while in the field. A smaller head sized net also existed for use. These nets were in great demand, especially in the swamps of Russia and North Africa. Remember, Malaria was a devastating disease that caused more casualties than the enemy during the war. It affected troops on both sides and had a major impact on military campaigns. This mosquito net is in very good condition and is a very rare offering.
