I can back up that they existed. They were not as widely used as the 3 cell pouches and only issued to Fallschirmjager, but they are not fictional. I will try to find the pic I have of one being worn by an officer in Crete. He's wearing the 6 cell pouches on his right side and a hardshell p38 holster on the left.

They were also used by engineer units. I think I will get one of them, when I get my MP40.

Heres a nice photo:  They were also used by vehicle crews (could grab and run with them). |

Awesome! I just didn't want to waste money on something else that would not help my impression.

Yeah, they were rare though, but you are like the only FJ where you are at. I want to get one also, but I need the MP40 first!

I've had these pouches in stock for a while and have been selling them quite a lot. They were for engineers & FJ units. Though FJ's used them more often.

I belive they are supposed to be tan, not blue, but i guess you can pretend there were blue ones, as its such an obscure item that no one is going to know or care.

Perhaps I could bleach them out?

Green ones will be out after the Chinese New Year. A guy on the reenactors forum posted a pic with one that looked blue. It was a black & white photo but the pouch was dark.

That one on the Wehrmact awards.com was apparently an original and it looked to be Luftwaffe blue

You are correct I missed that second link FJ posted I only saw the first one. The second does look like a faded blue one? cool.
