K98 Layout
Below you can see the standard layout for a panzer grenadier using a K98 rifle. As you can see, the bayonet is placed on top of the shovel. You will also notice that no mess tin is worn. Reason for this is that this usually only was worn in combination with an A-frame, when full combat order was worn, but it may also be worn next to the water bottle. See below an 'A' Frame in use. Rolled Zeltbahn can also be worn across your shoulders by fixing directly to the 'D' rings on your Y straps.
K98
Note: All Enlisted men may fight with a K98 . However, only NCOs may carry side arms and fight with MP 40's.
