WW2 German Army M. 39 Fur Backpack with Original Leather Straps Found in Normandy

A superb example of a. 39 Fur Back Pack or Tornister.

The 1944 Battle of Normandy. This very nice example produced in 1942. Oberusel being a small town in the. Hesse mountain range north-west of Frankfurt.

From 1939 onwards many Wehrmacht packs were no longer issued. With the in-built Y-strap-style leathers. And merely hooked onto the actual leather Y-straps. Original leather straps, but also has the later. A fabulous issued example of the WW-II German soldier's back-pack. Thick, two-tone horse-hair in situ. And all of the internal & external buckles & metal fittings in place. And so in a great, very clean & complete condition. Found near Bayeux in recent years, this is. A superb German infantry souvenir from the post-June 6th'D-Day. Heavy fighting across North West France in. (B/W Image courtesy of The Tomahawk Films WW-II Archive).
