Original Item: Just what we all need for a cold night in the forest. Remember Stalingrad? Well, if the Germans had more of these maybe they would have made it all the way to Moscow! These are large, rugged canvas sleeping bags, which bear no markings but are consistent with German WW2 specifications. WW2 style Construction details include WW2 flat metal buttons, double layers of leather-reinforced buttonholes, brass grommets, and leather/canvas tie down thong. The exterior of the bag is a strong canvas material, while the interior is soft flannel. The bag encloses the sleeper?s entire body except for a small facial opening, suggesting applications in Scandinavia, or the Eastern Front. The facial opening is provided with a loose covering flap for inclement weather. A long opening (27 inches, 69 cm) on the left side allows access to a space between the outer cover and the insulation.
The dimensions of the sleeping bag are 76 inches (193 cm) long, 27 inches (69 cm) wide at the shoulders, and 23 inches (58 cm) wide at the foot. It weights 10.5 lb (4.8 kg). It may have small repairs. Sleep in warm comfort during your next stay in Stalingrad!
