The M1917 Lederschutzmaske was a German gas mask used during WWI, designed to protect soldiers from chemical attacks. It featured a waterproofed leather facepiece, glass eyepieces, and a detachable metal filter, making it a vital piece of battlefield equipment. Stored in a cylindrical tin and carried over the shoulder, it provided limited but crucial defense against the deadly gases used in trench warfare.
