Hello ,
I have this Flashlight in my collection and it was sold to me as a later war ( late 1944 -45 ) Klienkampfmittlel or K-verband flashlight . This was also used by the luftwaffe , as I was told . This is a stamped sheetmetal tube with a brittle plastic dome lens . It is water proff and floats straight up in the water so the light acts as a beacon .
I was told that this was used by the linze or explosive boat K-men . This flashlight is painted a Luftwaffe grey/blue . I know the explosive boat men did use Luftwaffe para helmets still sporting the LW eagle etc. and even used a LW wrist compass .
I enclose some pictures that look like my flashlight , but I am asking my fellow posters to ask is this a post war flashlight ? Opinions are welcome !
