This authentic piece belonged to a member of the Hitler Youth and carries the unmistakable marks of frontline use.
Its aluminum body, standard-issue felt covering, and original leather straps remain intact, but what sets this canteen apart is the hand-carved trench art—etched designs or initials made by a soldier during downtime in the field, adding an intimate human touch to an otherwise utilitarian object.
