Hi everyone,
I need to know if Signal units (Funktruppen and Fernmeldetruppen) could mount a station in a Staff tent ? Could be historically correct ?
Help will be greatly apreciated !
Thank you very much.
Best regards
O.Patrick

Grüß Di' Olivierpatrick,
Signals units, as well as other units, used a wide variety of tents.
Here are was wartime photos of the 'Grosse Nachrichtenzelt' (Large Signals Tent) which is similar to the Staff Tent but with higher walls and more windows:
Here are some pictures of my Nachrichtenzug's setup with a Staff Tent:
If you're interested in learning more about German Army Tents, I would recommend the following book:
"Zelte und Zeltersatzausrüstungen der Wehrmacht, 1939-1945" by Hinrichsen
You can find it on eBay Germany or Amazon.
Funker vor!
