- The most basic of field gear items, with some explanation and information from the Reibert. I also show how to fold your zeltbahn.
From George. I have a full uniform and the equipment kit but have an extra for the backpack gear called an 'A' frame that some of the kit connects to. My uniform is the same tunic as I see in this video and pants are of the same colour or field grey. I have four marks of helmet and the field cap. No weapons not even bayonet. I do have the boots also. I'm in Australia and unfortunately I don't belong to any reanacment group. So I can not wear this anywhere. I once thought of joining somewhere but it didn't happen. I like the video I'm very jealous. Thanks for the showing how it all goes together.Have fun.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
I am modeling a Wehrmacht Squad for war games, and this info was very useful for the set up of all the accessories that came with the miniatures. Thanks!!!!!
I am a scale modeller and this was very informative thank you!
Agree!
In Germany we call the complete Combat Equipment Klempnerladen.
Didn't know that. Thank you for telling me
@@dergrenadier arent you german?
@@Hn-gz5iw I'm Dutch
@@dergrenadier I see, the fuhrer would have called you german then still i guess.
@@Hn-gz5iw Volksdeutsch maybe, but not german.
Seems like a typical platoon of Wehrmacht would clink and clank worse than a Union Civil War Regiment? Like most Americans I’ve always been fascinated with German kit but all those loose components, straps, buckles & metal must make a tremendous amount of noise. How on earth did the 106 and 99 not hear them coming on Dec 16, 1944?
Most of the metal parts are gonna hit cloth or leather
Because they were American and could only hear each others opinions and boasting.
@@botulf4908is that why the Nazis preferred the Americans over the Soviets at the end of the war? Lol
Ngl this might seem weird to others but military gear to me how it works is satisfying
This an Awesome video about German equipment. I learned a little bit of history. Thank-you for sharing this with everyone.
the loose straps from the Y straps can be used as extra suspension. Just unbutton it and then loop it behind your ammo pouches on each side to get 5 points instead of 3 points of suspension. Also you can double loop your gas mask canister, it brings it tighter to the body.
I will have to check original material to verify if this was done regularly. The y strap idea especially sounds a bit excessive.
Very informative
This is a great resource for drawing such uniforms.
I was trying to find a video like this forever. You deserve more credit for what you’re doing. Thank you for the awesome video. Keep up the good work definitely gonna follow you.
Very interesting to see how the kit went together. I didn't know that
Thank you...your videos are very helpful to us new reenactors
Great to hear!
Really interesting videos, I'm aware of many of the details presented but it's nevertheless great to see details of the German soldier's equipment so succinctly discussed.
Thank you for this tutorial with the M44 tunic its much harder for support on the back rather than earlier model tunics because theres only two hooks on the side.
shout out to the noisy neighbour!
Interesting, never considered having a waffenrock as an enlisted, like many I consider the service dress order or 'walk out dress' already very handsome. As a former idiot, I appreciate all the different perspectives of people who chose certain branches or services to impress. So glad the reenacting hobby has grown more wealthy with information on CZcams since I joined. Still sad older names in the hobby have gone off YT, ReenactorGuy, even though some of his advice was more pragmatic than technical like how a gatorade fits perfectly in a gas mask carrier was beneficial to me and probably others.
Damn! I forgot about ReenactorGuy, but he was the first ww2 german reenactor on YT. He and some others of the first ones are the reason I started in the first place.
Enlisted men had waffenrocks but when the war actually started I imagine they more or less stopped that practice. There are pictures of entire parades in paris where everybody is wearing a waffenrock so that is saying something.
@@dergrenadier a lot of reenactors especially germans get shit on because of the "nazi bad" ideology used by the woke even though most Wehrmacht soldiers didn't care about politics they just wanted to survive
Good video, it's helping me get a model correct.
very nice video helped me a lot
Very informative content many thanks, keep doing that !
Thank you very much. And I will 😄
@@dergrenadier only problem, i Saw no k98 in your video, it was surely the german soldiers best Friend on the field !
@@guillaumeferment7445 Hahahah yeah that one will feature in more then enough videos to come
Well done!
Smart organization
Amo a história da Alemanha, a imigração alemã foi muito importante para o Brasil, vida longa ao lindo povo da Alemanha❤
My great uncle told me the y-straps called for the buddy system.....your buddy would help you and you him in turn to put it on and it helped check that both of you had the correct squad equipment.
I put in on belt stuff first, then worry about y straps, if you went y first it fell apart
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Perfekt Video
Thanks 😁
I have found that putting on your belt on the hooks first then the y straps to be much easier
Ook handig voor de 1/6 actie figuren!
You have a very good channel! As a bayonet collector myself. Not in the field of gear and equipment. Thanks or as my say in dutch, bedankt makker! 🤜 ❤
Goed om te horen dat de content bevalt! Fijne avond 😁
@@dergrenadier thanks man! Jij ook! Groetjes uit belgie buurman
A great with, good to see you covering the basics of wearing kit...............More to come?
Yes sir! It's about time that I inform the new re-enactor of the real relevant basic stuff.
@@dergrenadier If you can get the basics right, the rest will follow.
Very informative. Equipment was noisy to wear. Great Video

for future reference 🖤
Nice
That xela 39 tornister looks great I want one. But with the current situation in the east I don’t think I’d be able to get one 😕
Yeah I know that nastaro has stopped production for now for example. So it could be true for Xela39 as well.
@@dergrenadier yeah I heard he’s on the border helping refugees
can you do a video on how to set up the equipment for a
Sanitäter.? I want to start reenacting but I don't know where to get specialized medical pouches and so on
Wow nice stuff organization like alice
One thing I’ve learned to do is set your tornister or rucksack higher than you (ground above a foxhole or entrenched position, table, tree stump, stone wall, fence, etc. ) and put your back to it and reach around to hook the d rings to the tornister. 😁
Good tip!
Thank you! Helped me setup my field gear! What were the dangling front y-straps used for?
They hook to the bottom of your A frame or tornister / rucksack. Notice that in the end, when I have my tornister on, they are not dangling there anymore.
Glad I could be of assistance!
@@dergrenadier Thank you!
This video was very entertaining and educational you explained everything very good and easy to understand,
and i would like to know where you have your wehrmacht gear from. And is it reanactment gear or from the 2nd world war?
Thank you! This is ww2 German, ww1 is quite different.
The gear is from many many vendors and manufacturers, impossible to name in one reply. I refer to my other videos for more information on the vendors.
Hi mate, I love your channel! Where did you buy your Y straps? They look amazing!
Thanks! The y-straps are vincent's equipment. Got them second hand but he still makes them and they are amazing!
@@dergrenadier stunning quality for sure! Thanks for the answer and keep up the good work!
In a few months i moving to Italy, i have some friends to have a beer in England, when I get there, i call you.
Nette video maat! Misschien in de toekomst een idee om een setup voor A-frame te laten zien?
Thanks maatje! Wil ik zeker eens doen. Ze worden wel weinig gebruikt maar is toch interessant.
where did u get the belt from it looks good
It's vincents equipment. I would say he makes some of the best leather goods for re-enactors at the moment.
Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Groeten terug uit Nederland 🇳🇱
Ach hallo ebenfalls grüße
2:01 what’s that little sturmpack esque setup the soldier on the bottom left has?
Folding the zeltbahn over your meskit and wear it with the breadbag strap as shoulder straps. This was done in WW1 and early in ww2 but later in the war this dissapeared a bit.
(As a French resistance reenactor) What belt and Y suspenders do you use and would the belt work with mp40 mag pouches?
All of this equipment works with mp40 pouches, it is the exact same system. My belt and suspenders are fron vincent.
@@dergrenadier Thanks!
What type of oil/grease do you use to treat your leather items?
Rapide saddle grease. Works like a charm
Any idea how often a-frames were used, and when? Thanks
Not often. They were only issued for trips into the field longer than 24 hours long and shorter than 48 hours long, or something in that ballpark. And even then almost nobody got them. You don't see them often at all. My advise is to not use them at all.
Now the question: where to buy all this (in EU) and how expensive would it be? I know you have seperate item videos but the whole package would be nice to know :)
I would like to make a video about this. All the gear, where it's from and what it costs. If I get around to that it will be published this week!
Do you need to have the belt buckle?
Where did the soldat carry his a frame if he had tornister on
A frames were only issued for certain actions, and very rarely. If a soldier had an a frame and a tornister he needed the later model tornister which has hooks and a strap for the a frame.
Don't use an a frame unless you know you are, on that specific occasion, portaying a unit that had them on that very moment.
@@dergrenadier oh thanks
Where can I buy a pair of boots for my officer outfit?
Depends on what type of boots you want. Riding boots, regular early/late boots, or something else? Officer impressions are hard because there are many ways to do it right but way more ways to do it wrong.
If you want good boots and you take this very serious I would see if Jan Berger could be of assistance.
I want to Ask something......
I seen people tuck their Stahlhelm in their belts only with the helm's liner straps ............
i try dat only to find out that it'll damage and tear the helm's straps...........
Can you shows us various "historical" ways to tuck and carry the Stahlhelm ?
safely dat is....
The only way is by the chinstrap actually. If something rips the quality is not up to specs. Investing is a vincent chinstrap might be the way to go
Дякую! Коли повернусь у Харків буде чим зайнятись)
Hey, could you pleae sy what shirt do you use, the m36,40,or 43? i think i will buy the m40
M43. I will add an m42 soon for variation. The m40 is a great option as well because they were used for a long time
Where did you buy your belt?
Where do i keep my tent pole kit if i dont have tornister?
The kit has a special bag. Which you as an infantryman do not have
Ok, but what's the use of having a zeltbahn without tent poles then?
@@sigve7008 As a infantryman you have 1/ 4th of a complete tent. You keep your pole piece and the pegs in your tornister. The complete set is not for one person but for four
@@dergrenadier Ok thanks:D Do you know how to make a one man shelter with only one zeltbahn? perhaps over a foxhole.
I want to buy this sweatshirt. I'm thinking about 182 or 176. I'm 182 tall. Can you provide the dimensions of the sweatshirt? Total length, sleeve inside and outside?
Isn't this just for the Heer rather than the entire Wehrmacht which includes the Navy and Air Force?
Generally speaking, yes
Germans are awesome man. i bet you get all the chicks with that accent Hahaa. damn it i wish i could talk like that lol. You know a lot more about this than i do. but i think you did a pretty damn good job explaining everything.
The video is interesting and we should be happy not to be in a war.

Where’s your Mauser rifle?
Aber zuerst lernen wir deutsch um den Reibert lesen zu können und die Kommandos der Vorgesetzten zu verstehen. Und vergiss nicht "jawoll"
March to the front and die !! not very appealing ,, They way they made the uniforms in the 40s is interesting
The germans had a traditional uniform style for sure
@@dergrenadier to much power in one mans hands always turns out bad !! ,,, Putin too
