World War 2 German Field Telephone Equipment - A Basic Guide for Reenactors and HistoriansDuring World War 2, the German military constructed an extensive field telephone system that extended from Germany to all parts of occupied Europe, North Africa, and the USSR. This system included components like field telephones, switchboards, wire, cable, and associated hardware and equipment. Today, much of these World War 2 German field telephone components survive in working order and are available for purchase at a relatively reasonable cost.
