German WWII Square Head Entrenching Tool - Schanzzeug British Military Hats as an eight year oldNew Made Item: The "schanzzeug" used by the German WWII soldier was a direct legacy from his comrades in the First World War. Stamped steel spade or shovel blade, around 55cm (22 inches) in overall length, riveted to a wooden handle, it did not undergo any noticeable design change for nearly 50 years. These shovels bear replicated WW2 markings and are dated 1939. Goes great with our reproduction Square head Entrenching Tool Shovel Leather Cover.
