Did the Deutsches Afrika Korps (DAK) produce chinstraps made of tropical web material?
No official documentation exists that supports the concept that helmet chinstraps of this kind were manufactured and distributed at a factory level. However, a few original helmets have been observed which exhibit field made replacements that utilize tropical web material of the kind normally associated with utility straps used to secure the Zeltbahn as well as the type used on the water bottle.
