Hi everyone,
i would like to ask your opinions on these objects and hear anything anyone might be able to share about them.
This type of mittens is featured in both "Stalin's war" by László Békési (page 45 to 48) and "the Soviet Soldier of WW2" by Philippe Rio (page 78) but i found little actuall information on them.
I wonder if they were around pre-war or a later devellopment and if someone perhaps knows what the stamps mean below "Rost/Size 1"?
The pouch has no visible markings but the rather simple (and two-tone) construction would make me think it possibly is wartime manufactered, please correct me if i make any incorrect assumptions.
Kind regards,
Olivier
