Description:

Similar examples pictured and described in the book "Camouflage Uniforms of the Waffen-SS" by Beaver. 2) Gas mask set. The can painted in a green, brown and tan tri-tone camouflage pattern, with "A.Z. 12" and "E. Buchner" on the exterior, in white paint, and the mask marked "A.Z.12/Buchner" in white on the filter mount and "Obgefr. Buchner / 12" in black on the chinstrap. A paper label attached to the spare lens case is marked to Flakersatzabteilung (Replacement Anti-Aircraft Detachment) 33 out of Weimar, an anti-aircraft training/induction unit formed about 1941 and active to the end of the war. Obergefreiter (Corporal) Buechner has not been positively identified, though may have been a member of 33's cadre of permanent staff/trainers. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection
