>>2514622that specific one is west german but the same kind of flashlight has been used in all germanic armies since ww1, including east germany, wehrmacht, austrian and swiss. I beleive even some Nordics and Eastern Europeans( Poland) used them.
I prefer the west german one, because it runs on two normal 1.5 V D-Cell batteries. The east german one for example runs on simgle a wierd 14.5 V flat batterie.
