East German Flashlight
Allow us to shed some light on East German Field Gear!
East Germany, like any nation, needed to equip their troops with flashlights. They went the European method, which was essentially a smaller version of a railroad lantern that could be attached to a shirt button. These lights have sliders on the front to change the light to Red, Green or Blue. I suppose you can slide them all up, but it doesn’t make a rainbow.
The switch on top allows for “on” or “temporary” in order to signal. The light comes with an extra bulb in the case, which you likely will never need due to the fact that these seem to never have been used. They use the 4.5V 3LR12 battery but can be fitted with an adapter or modified to use other batteries if you are handy.
