We'll hang Jeff Davis from the sour apple tree!
Just one blanket. They weigh about five pounds and you want to carry as little weight as possible. Instead of a poncho we use the standard issue gum blankets wrapped up inside the blanket roll, hanging from the blanket roll or folded over the waist belt(the method I find most comfortable). Each soldier would carry half a shelter tent as well. However you dont need one tent for every two people and can fit four in a shelter tent if you need to, or just go without.
As far as Germans in the Confederate army about half were drafted if I recall but I'm not to certain on that.
