WWII GERMAN ARMY FIELD COMPASS -
The German armed forces developed a series of tools and accessories to be used out in the field. These items were designed to
make the execution of the soldier's job more effective and to make life easier. Some of the tools were very similar to the
ones used during WWI. However. other items were of brand new design.
In some instances the soldiers were issued items of WWI vintage. That explains why some of the war souvenirs are older but
were captured during WWII.
This section of the website takes an in-depth look at one of the field gear products of WWII.
