Early pipes like yours have vulcanized rubber stems. When they get old, they turn a unsavory yellow/brown. You can polish it with something like VIM (liquid abbrasive household cleaner) to turn it back to gleaming darkbrown/black. Nice set of kit!
The two white stripes on the socks which you don't comment on were, as with issue gloves, an indication of their size. For example two rings, size 5 - 7, three rings, size 8 -9.
I noticed but I did not know. Of course there had to be a purpose, they weren't going to make the socks more expensive and time consuming to make for nothing! With the Germans, there's always a reason for everything, unfathomable and twisted as if may be...
big news. epic militaria have aww2 German pocket litter section of the store now. good for any UK reenactors. might be good for international reenactors, but postage and import might be very expensive. great video
not totally true that was panzerschokolade which was issued to panzer crews. normal chocolate called scho ka kola contained high ammounts of caffeine. they did also serve meth in tabs in the form of pervitin
Mate that little bag you keep your shaving gear in, In short my great uncle was in the Wheremacht, he told me it was used to tie round your neck to eat sausage and hard tak in to eat while on the march.
As the war progressed, I bet the average German soldier could consider himself very lucky if he could keep 20% of what we're seeing here! If you have the chance, try to visit the Kyiv War Museum in Ukraine - maybe it's wiser to wait first for the war to end - in which you will be able to see all these items in original condition plus many, many more Wehrmacht and Soviet gear. Possibly it will be the very first time you see these items in color! Worth a visit. The Museum is located inside the base of the gigantic "Motherland calls" monument, located close to the river. Outside there is a large display of Tanks, military vehicles and combat aircraft, and a very short distance away there is a dedicated Afghanistan War Museum. You'll be impressed.
I've been to the Chernobyl museum in Kyiv, they turned it into a current war relics museum of captured/ destroyed Russian equipment. I put a video on my channel.
its missing some "Pervitin" tablets.. they was issued but later soldiers was asking their relatives to send some with the next packet from home also a german army/trench lighter - there is 2 different models.
@@hypedpanther6464 Nope, it was actually not uncommon. I’ve read some interviews where the soldiers have mentioned having a bible among other things with them

One thing People sleep on is a Mess Knife, a simple captured GI Mess knife will help tremendously when you have to cut some food item you dont want to come in contact with your breadbag knife that has been cutting wire, dirt, clothing, bandages etc etc
You should check what pipe maker that is. I see a white dot on the stem. If its a Dunhill its highly sought after. Especially if you clean her up a bit. 50s and 60s Dunhills go for 300 plus easy once polished up.
This isn't really related to the video but I could try to make you a channel art because currently yours is just a picture, if I do where could I send you it?
What I keep in my pockets is: A linnen towel to wipe your hands with etc, Pocket knife, Cigarret tin(I don't smoke though), And some other things ofc but you already mentioned that.
Russian stuff could have easily been used in Normandy, a lot of divisions saw action on both fronts. Also lots of goods that have been captured was re-issued to the German army, so I'd say its highly possible.
HBT uniforms are very thin and are good for hot environments. Not to mention Afrikakorps is a good thing to reenact for hot environments since as the name implies, were deployed in Africa. Basically standard uniform just thinned and olive instead of fieldgrey. Hope this helped.
Where do you keep that fat toilet paper roll lol? Everything else is small or flat so they could fit somewhere, but the toiler paper roll is neither small nor flat
@@Handle_Deez_Nutz alright I will take your word for it, I'm just a little suspicious as to why it would be made up - It's not like those post-war Czech(?) suspenders which already existed, why make up an entire brand? Any leads on that?
They stopped issuing that in may of 1941 I believe. However it was still available for private purchase but highly discouraged because the withdrawal makes you literally useless as a soldier.
You are talks about nazy soldiers, who killing civilians, kids? Who destroy thousands of villages and some burning with people? Who bombing cities up to burning to ashes?
historically correct wallets are sold by "Verlag Kopf", in Europe: verlagkopf.com/product/leather-wallet, as a reproduction of "Ersatzledermaterial" (a leather copy material maybe due to shortage of actual real leather at the time).

Lovely cleaning kit!
That chocolate tastes fantastic, and can still be gotten from Germany
Schokakola is my favorite. In austria it's harder to get, than in germany, but i found one store that sells these.
I think you would be missing somthing, the Cristal meth tabs so they would fight all day and night
@Wilhelm Müller What?
@Wilhelm Müller Interesting, thanks for telling me.
@Wilhelm Müller And I thought that chocolate was probably delicious,dang it...

@Wilhelm Müller The meth was not in the chocolate
I was hoping to see an original box of Pervitin again.
Awesome video. I’ve taken a near 3 years off re-enacting but hopefully will get to one in PA this sept. What unit are you in?

World war guy I think you forgot the fat container
Never thought of that before. A spoon with a fork on the other end. It would be useful even if it weren't foldable.
its missing some "Pervitin" tablets..
they was issued but later soldiers was asking their relatives to send some with the next packet from home
also a german army/trench lighter - there is 2 different models.
Or probably an imco triplex 6700
Great video! One of the things I plan on also carrying when I build up my kit (Grenadier Regiment 914) that I don’t see done often is a bible
It might be a bit risky. Many would be scared due to Hitler's dislike of christians.
Well, the belt buckles did say Göt Mitt Uns

So regarding the lemonade packet, they were around during ww2 that part is true but the packet I do not believe is original.
ThatsACitizen thank you for the info!
Eidelwipe toilet paper?!? Awesome!

Where’d you get that roll at? Like the grey thing u keep it all in?

@@HavocMusic1759 yeai know about hbts i dont have the money to buy some and now its great weather to wear my stuff thanks!
I have the same shaving brush
Nice video good job
History in no time thank you
Where did you buy the shaving brush?
I gotta know where you got that journal at 3:30.
I never see nail clippers in kits
If you’re reenacting maybe scribble a few things in German (and in pencil) on your various pieces of paper (like the goggles)
Try to get a Rotbart Mond Extra DE shaver and a Palmolive shaving soap stick that would be period exact.
Nice
1900s War history thank you
add a few American or British souvenirs. Especially period currency, propaganda leaflets, looted pin ups
They barely ate. They were on speed.
I hate esbit because when I open my foot locker it makes my room stink
Also for us personal hygiene do you like wash rolls or ditty bags
Where did u get the hold all
thats nicee
You forgot a h in the "Schütze" in your Soldbuch
No, he is a Scutze. Scutzen lives matter
Thank you for the correction
What about DAK can u make one for DAK
At least as far as though the Americans had lemonade powder during work and came in there rations sod the Germans probably had them as well
Where do you keep that fat toilet paper roll lol? Everything else is small or flat so they could fit somewhere, but the toiler paper roll is neither small nor flat
Correct. It likely would've looked more like a travel package of Kleenex.

The Wehrmacht issue Toilet paper is a complete fantasy item. I hope you didn't pay too much for it.
I bet there was some sort of wehrmacht issued toiletpaper for bases
you sure?
@@JohnsonTheSecond I'm 100% sure. That Edelweiss roll is fake.

You sound like you need a Delta Dresden
Ditch the toilet paper.
Where is pervitin?

Toilet rolls?
Are these all original?
When you don't watch the video but want to comment something
Most likely not see. I saw what you did there
No Pervitin?

Head ache powder and condoms are missing
you have ww2 candy but not any ww2 money so? you spent your money on candy
Exactly
Soap in russia we say tontaso
Condoms???
Scho-Ka-Kola was a little bit different. But great job.
You are talks about nazy soldiers, who killing civilians, kids? Who destroy thousands of villages and some burning with people? Who bombing cities up to burning to ashes?
All those bad things and atrocities have done the Allies but not the German soldier! Please don't lie!😉
