![]() This new pattern was printed on zeltbahn (triangular tent) material and could also be used as a camouflage rain poncho in the field. The pattern included ochre, rust and brown overlaid on a green foundation, with sharp corners between coloured patches. Proposed in 1931 and introduced in 1932, the four-colour camouflage patterns incorporated "splinters" on top of the 1918 colour pattern. A random pattern of green dashes, called raindrops, was applied in places to improve the camouflage effect. The pattern consists of a disruptive, zig-zag pattern of hard-edged wood-brown and medium green polygons printed on a light field-grey or tan background. Known in German as Buntfarbenaufdruck 31 (colourful print 31), for its year of introduction, splittertarn was later issued to practically all regular military ( Wehrmacht) units. Splittertarnmuster was first printed on the newly designed and issued triangular tent/poncho called the dreiecks zeltbahn (triangle tarpaulin), just as the Italian 1929 telo mimetico began as a tent pattern.
