Equipment part identification

[TabsTabs1964]

I had never seen this way of placing the helmet and the canister of the gas mask and some other equipment between them


Stellungsbau


Feuerstellung

Does anyone know what could be between the helmet and the canister of the gas mask?

Thanks in advance

Hard to say. Looks like some upholstery or pillows. These are not wooden boards. Definitely something strange.

Canteens possibly ?

+1 from me, I have this photo of another Flak crew keeping their gas cape pouches on the canisters in a very similar way. The pouches are well visible also in the OP's second picture. All credit to the Finnish SA-Kuva photograph archive!

Thanks mates... I love this place ...It's a perfect combination of people who know more than you and people who are enthusiastic about investigating and solving little puzzles.
