SEE SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON WITH ORIGINAL WHITE COT STRAP

Prior to D-Day many American paratroopers were not issued \"standard\" general purpose straps so they scrounged straps from where ever they could find them. Most commonly paratroopers took the khaki/white straps that were attached to their GI cots. See the attached original photos of paratroopers prior to D-Day that are clearly seen using these white straps.

This listing is for the reproduction equipment strap only. All other items in these photos including the original white cot strap are not apart of the sale.
