Great display and thanks for sharing I always thought that this type of canteen had been issued to female auxilliary organisations like BDM. Have You found some pictures, showing HJ equipped with canteen of this type? If so, please attach them.eace

Thank You Ron for posting pictures. I guess that BDM was part of HJ organisation, its female section? Not easy to judge which canteen is pictured. In this case what matters is size and construction. There are some variants of so called "political" canteens, not issued to military units. With green lines are marked BDM and regular military canteen, without cup. As You can see this BDM canteen is very different but we need better pictures to be 100% positive

I think that canteen placed to the left of BDM canteen could be HJ, since it is something between the smallest and regular size.

Thank you Ron, for another great post. The Curator, I call you!!
Fantastic!
BDM or HJ, you always find great items. It’s staggering to me how you do it.
