WH (Heer) Combat Rucksack

Nice mid to late war Wehrmacht (Heer) Combat 'Rucksack'. During the war the early M34 and M39 Affe backpacks were found to be too expensive and time consuming to produce which resulted in the production of a wide variety of less expensive canvas construction combat rucksacks and backpacks. The rucksack is executed in green, ‘heavy-duty’ cotton and has a rounded fold over top flap, the closing strap from the flap has one period repair (see photo). The rucksack is designed to be used in combination with the combat Y-straps. Stamped on te back with Rb.Nr. Nice example in used condition!
