Canvas bag with the Nazi symbol. Request information
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone,
Recently I was given a bag of cotton left in a cellar (in the proximity of Viterbo, Central Italy). It was certainly belonged to the German Army. On one side is printed the Nazi eagle. On the other hand, there is a code (H. Vpfl.).
Can anyone tell me what that means?
Thank you in advance
Victor




I send two photos of the bag.

Hello Victor,

H. Vpfl. means IMHO “Heeres Verpflegungs-Sack”, in English “Army Rations Bag” or “Army Grain Bag. Army means in this case “Wehrmacht”.
Hope this information supports you.

Best regards,
Hansjurg Kohler
