Please note the large background tent on the left. It appears to have clear panel segments by the top.

Re: Ebay: Fliegerhorst, landing areas, hangars, workshops

That's a very strange and uncommon tent, Ed..............I've never seen one like that in Wehrmacht use before. Each Gruppe must have had at least 100 tents, so as the issue ones wore out and became hard to get through normal supply channels, they must have resorted to civilian camping tents and the like to fill their needs. The pyramid-like one with the clear panels looks similar to some seen on summer beaches in Europe back in the 1930s.

You are right, Ed.
These tents are being used by the Luftwaffe for engine maintenance in the field.
