Infantry kit

[sgriffin383]

Can anyone explain the wehrmacht soldier's kit or point me to any resource that gives an explanation?

A good source is the book 'Deutsche soldaten' by AUGUSTIN SAINZ, gives details on all equipment carried etc, Amazon books will stock this book.

Two good references:

Bender's "Afrikakorps" has excellent diagram of the basic German Army combat harness and Ausruest/equipage, albeit for desert operations.

James Lucas, "War on the Eastern Front" has lots of info/photos/diagrams.

Good Luck/Glueck Auf!

Thank you for replies in some of my posts. I have been writing a novel on world war II and I am trying very hard to keep it historically accurate.
