A reproduction of a trench candle based on German military regulations from World War II. The candle comes in a shallow metal container and features a period-correct German instruction label, including the warning “Achtung!”. With waterproof print, it’s perfect for use in the field, reenactment, or as part of a historical display.
Trench candles were standard-issue items used for illumination at night in trenches, bunkers, and makeshift field positions. They also served as a small heat source for warming food or hands in confined conditions. Their compact size made them easy to store in bags, rucksacks, or uniform pockets.
These candles often came with warnings instructing soldiers to adjust the wick holder properly and place the candle away from flammable materials. Produced in large quantities, they became an essential but often overlooked piece of every soldier’s field gear.
A great item for reenactors, collectors, or for enhancing the detail of a period-correct encampment.
