    Hello
    In my schoolholidays Ive found this Items in a Barn near Salzburg in Austria
    A farmer there found it and sold it to me
    There were unreissued and untouched
    The items are all from the Wehrmacht and seem that the owner were surrendered there
    There were a german Steelhelmet M40 late war reissued, a Splintertarnzeltplane with hole, a pair of boots one were cut, a HJ Feldflasche, a Rucksack without carrystraps, a Fieldspade, a K98 Bayonet and a Fieldcap
    I hope you enjoy it

    More like the owner was deserting at/near the end of the war-ditching his military equipment-the field hat appears to be for Panzer troops-black with pink waffenfarbe trim for armoured corps-possibly from 2 different men as the other items wouldn't be carried by an AFV crewman.

    Thanks for the info
    I was in the barn and found no more Items
    My idea was that it was a HJ member that dont want to be captured in cause of the rucksack, the Feldflasche and the size of the boots, but who can knows that today

    Hello,
    The bayonet is from WWI (1917 dated)...
    The Feldmütze is not from Panzertruppen (which never had pink piping on this kind of headgear), it's not a military Feldmütze...it's perhaps postwar, but i leave this to post 1945 specialists to comment...
    Non german shovel with most probably postwar handle replacement...
    What looks like a postwar Rucksack...
    Please, post detailed photos of the boots in the equipment forum
    and a Stahlhelm that you should post to the helmet forum to get accurate comments
    Hope you did not pay too much for this grouping
    Thanks
