BREADBAG
The Breadbag M31 is a piece of equipment that can be found on almost every soldier in WW II.
It's a simple one compartment haversack which contained the ration of a soldier. Of course next to the bread,
it contained a lot of personnel stuff.
Below a collection of breadbags which gives a good view on colour variations
The breadbags are in a range dated from 1932 until a very late war Model 44 example
Early examples have aluminium hardware but when the war started, production changed.
Steel and zinc was used to save the costly and precious aluminium.
Also noticable is the use of the leather tabs which was abolished later.
