Reenacting @ 10,000 Feet
Grüß Di' Baggers, Vielen Dank Kamerad! The only original items that I used were the rucksack, ice axe, canteen, mess kit and a Hohner Bravi Alpini harmonica...the rest was either post-war surplus or reproduction. My tunic and Windjacke are from Lost Battalions. Thanks for your insights...- Heeresbergführer

Reenacting @ 10,000 Feet
Servus Prien, Yes, they did use Donkeys...also Bactrian Camels, Reindeer, Oxen, and Dogs. A standard Gebirgsdivision had about 5,000 animals...the German Army used about 6 Million horses and mules during the war...less than 20% of the German Army was mechanized. Donkey Camel...- Heeresbergführer

Help and ideas wanted
Grüß Gott Charles, A couple of ideas...you could find an old oval carabiner to replace the plastic...would give your pack a more "mountaineer" look...or you could replace the plastic with a metal spring buckle like these: There's the link...- Heeresbergführer
