A Soviet Red Army infantry backpack of the early Second World War period, with the SSh-36 style steel helmet strapped to the pack. Hand painted by a professional artist, with worn canvas, straps and buckles picked out in detail.
Historical use
Winter War in Finland (1939–1940)
Soviet invasion of Poland (1939)
Operation Barbarossa and the battles of 1941
Because the helmet is carried on the backpack, the soldier wearing this kit should be shown in a pilotka side cap or an ushanka fur hat, just as it was in the field.
