There are but a handful of German items in my collection, but this pair of military-issued spectacles is an example of the human aspect of warfare. Issued to the wearer on 21 June 1941, this pair had elasticated ear loops so the wearer could wear the glasses while also ensuring a gas-tight seal around their face from their respirator. They are made for a small face.
