WWII German Mountain Trooper Two-Pocket Rucksack

Constructed from heavy olive-green canvas, this variant features two prominent exterior front pockets with leather strap closures, a large main drawstringcompartment, and integrated leather shoulder straps with aluminum hardware fittings. Designed for higher storage capacity, this pattern was primarily issued to mountain troops (Gebirgsjäger), artillery, and support personnel during extended operations.
