Luftwaffe 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 bluish-grey, ‘heavy-duty’ cotton and has a rounded fold over top flap. The rucksack is complete with its original leather carrying straps in good used condition. The rucksack is not visible maker marked or dated. The late war rucksack is made of recycled and captured materials including pieces of a British Webbing waist belt and other parts made of British webbing, see photos. The rucksack is in combat worn condition showing clear traces of usage and some small damages, see photos. Many of these equipment pieces made of captured materials were produced in the Ghetto of Lodz, called 'Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt'. Interesting late war variant rucksack in good used condition!
