Simone Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 hello, I serched around for my stormtrooper impression, but I could not find any pictures of stormtrooper with short spades, only with pioneer spades or without, so I wanted to know if a stormtrooper with a short blade was possible and if someone has some photos maybe, I was especially interested in 1918 and I thought that maybe with the spread of stormtropers and the transformation of infantry battalions into stormtroopers one maybe some spades had been reused thanks to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG1918 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Do you mean the machine gunners spade? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think that Simone refers to the current Linemann Infantry spade and not the Machine Gunners one. The Pioneer type Linemann spade currently portrayed on stormtroopers had a long staff of about 70 cm long and was carried across the back , The simplified Sturmgepack of german Infantrymen , was carried on the back and basically consisted in the normal infantry spade with a blanket and tent cloth rolled around and with the individual mess can wraped also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG1918 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Bayern great info. I was perhaps focussing too much on a stormtrooper wielding a sharpened MG spade as a weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
