- This is the official, by the book, way of setting up your a-frame.
Of course, it was possible for soldiers to set it up however they would like depending on the situation and personal preference.
Enjoy!

I actually use the a-frame with a rolled afganka jacket, a soviet mess kit and a soviet canteen inside the assault bag to my job 😀😀😀
Another good "How to"!
(The 2 loops on the back of the A-Frame Bag, allow the Y-Strap rear strap to pass through, as well :-)
question..how long are the carry straps supposed to be when fully lengthened?
The AFrame was use in combat as a "Sturmgepäck". Pullover was not for the combat pouch, also the clean kid. The clean kid was in the breadbag! On the A Frame was the mess kid, the tent and tent sticks. In the pouch was the following items: socks 1x
Scarf 1x
Hanky 2x
Sewing kid 1x
Toiletry bag 1x
Shoe cleaning kid (brushes and shoe cream)
Extra ammo
Gloves
Half combat ration
In the mess tin there was a ration of bread (Knäckebrot /Zwieback)
What's your source for this list?
I have to question this list as well without a citation.
He was there
Hey,
You were absolutely right with the rings at the side and that one on top. These were made for holding the mantel - coat or the blanket as a roll. Like soldiers whore it in ww1.
We're the a frames used throughout the war or early part or ?
Quite interesting, a pity though things are not originals (just have a look at the leather straps, they look so fresh that you could thing the cow is still running !). Even the cleaning kit seems dubious, no matter a "soldier" wrote his name on it it's so easy to fake...). This kind of dark, nearly black color is much more typical of the 50', when this kit was still made. And how about the tent pole and pegs ? I didn't see them rolled in the tent piece... If you think you can use your tent with a comrade on the field without pole and pegs, good luck !
Did you just call your mess tin a cleaning kit
Does anyone know if there is a regulation for which way the horizontal mess tin should be? ie does the side with the lid go on the left or right? I see lots of pics of either way, but any military always has an official manner.
So how much was it for this whole set up? $$$
How do you put them on your suspenders?
Great video,I like german ww2 military surplus,very dependable and quality made
Especially when they are not originals, like here, uh ?
@@laurentdevaux5617 An original setup like this would cost thousands and would just be kept in a collection.
Actual German WW2 surplus like this would cost thousands.
@@simonh6371 When talking about WW2 German items, the word "surplus" isn't adequate... it's a matter of collection, and I know it much than anyone, as I had, when I was younger, not only the complete A-frame shown here (and entirely original), but the whole uniform as well. 30-40 years ago, when I found these items, it wasn't cheap already, but it was still possible to buy them. Now, the prices have been rocketing...
@@laurentdevaux5617 True, surplus means surplus to requirements i.e. extra kit which is sold off by the government. There hasn't been any WW2 German surplus for a long time, in fact there almost certainly wasn't any during WW2 as they needed every bit of kit.
Danke ! I have just been called up to fight for Fuehrer and Fatherland in the Wehrmacht and I and many others like me really appreciate this type of tutorial so we will be ahead of the rest during training.
How common was it for soldiers wear this into combat?
NOOdle .,. More common earlier in the war. It was used for soldiers who needed to bring about 1-2 days worth of supply’s.
World War Guy was it commonly used 1940-43? That’s what my impression is and I just want to know.
@@Configuramous Yeah, A Frames were used throughout, you should check out a video called "Wermacht Impressions" and look at the uniform for the period you're doing and see what he's wearing, I'll try to find the video and provide link.
@@Configuramous Here's link th-cam.com/video/dpErMnGhg1E/w-d-xo.html
SaavageTurtle 41 cool thanks
I thought it was more difficult, it will help me so much for my german reenactment
How do you attach an m31 mountian rucksack to this?
Joe Bruzas you don’t, you would hook this to the rucksack with the d-rings that are on the bag.
@@worldwarguy459 hopefully this helps thanks
Good video
Patrick Gaffney thank you.
For the A frame, could I put my binoculars pack instead of the mess tin cause I don't know where to put it
If you don't know where it goes you probably shouldn't have one
binoculars weren't a common thing used by Deutsches Heer, Kriegsmarine, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe or any type of german military branch, other than the Rabbit Ear binoculars which most that you're gonna get will be post-war, and weren't compact like binoculars you see today. if they did have binoculars, which I doubt, it would most likely go in your bread bag since it holds all kinds of items
@@havoccrenshaw3416 mhm, I suggest people just stay away from obscure items like that unless necessary to the impression. Don't they go around the neck or on the belt anyway?
During the war the German army issued binoculars to some of their troops with specialised functions. The Gruppenführer or group leader would have one for instance. These binoculars or Doppelfernrohr where expensive and strictly army property. These where therefor engraved with Dienstglas noting the army property. The most common type is the 6×30 strength Dienstglas. 6×30 designates the capacity of the binoculars. The first number (6) refers to the magnification and the second number (30) indicates the diameter of the objective lens (the light-gathering lens) in millimeters.
I have a set marked Hensoldt Wetzlar pol. Dienstglas (pol stands for polizei).
These were issued with a protective case, normally made from either black or brown leather, or imo the more interesting black, brown or speckled Bakelite.
The leather cases had a ‘tunnel’ on the rear, so they could be slid onto a belt. The bakelite cases had two strap on the back to attach it to the belt. These straps were either leather or prestoff. (DescriptionPresstoff is the German-language term for a type of ersatz or artificial leather used during the first half of the 20th century. Made of specially layered and treated paper pulp, Presstoff was durable and easily adapted to be used in place of leather, which under wartime conditions was rationed).
What is a texiled version?
Just a better version
Nice job!
Calvin Cameron thank you.
