The feldflasche appears to be an early example although I can't quite decipher the maker it is good. The bread bag doesn't have the construction typical of German military issue during the TR period; no inner pocket, the absence of the button and leather belt hooks and the strange button for the flap. It may be a civilian version but I'm sure the brot beutel guys will opine. Thank you for posting.
Hi Bex.
This is not my area of collecting, but I wonder if both of these are linked to the Hitler Youth or some other organisation.
My new German bread bag
german canteen - Wehrmacht, SA or Hitler Youth?
Kind regards,
Will.
The flask is marked G&CL36 I think.
Gehardi & Company,Ludenscheid 1936.
The breadbag looks like it was made from late war materials.
To me it looks like a rucksack recycled as a breadbag postwar.
Thank you for posting them.
It will be interesting to hear what others think.
Is it possible the breadbag is HJ? They did typically only have one leather loop on the flap.

The A symbol is the trademark of F. W. ASSMANN & SOHNE, LUDENSCHEID who produced all manner of metalwork for the military.
I did see some images of post war East German bags online after my previous comment which resemble yours.
Perhaps you might want to Google some images?
