Y-straps manufactured from British webbing in Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt

These Y-straps are made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. This Y-strap is a beautiful example of the equipment that was made in Litzmannstadt. In contrast to most encountered Litzmannstadt manufactured Y-straps this example is in combat used condition. Excellent example!
