The Provenance:
This particular pouch is uniquely ink-stamped on the exterior: "D.R.K. Sanitätslager Babelsberg 35." This identifies it as a direct issue from the major German Red Cross logistics hub at Babelsberg, Potsdam. During the war, this depot was responsible for outfitting medical personnel across the Eastern Front and the defense of Berlin. Finding a pouch that clearly traces back to this specific strategic headquarters is an exceptional rarity.
