WW II German Army Siemens & Halske Bunkertelefone BUNKER PHONE VERY RARE

  

Accurate intelligence and secure lines of communication are crucial elements to all armies in the field and during WWII each division in the German Army had an integral Signals unit. The Signals unit were usually of Battalion strength and generally consisted of a Headquarters Company, a Radio Company and a Telephone Company. The Signals personnel utilized a wide variety of radio receivers, telephones and associated communications equipment in all theatres of operation.

Wast 9d was one of the largest of the standard issue bunker telephones used by the German military during WWII. The steel main door in secured tightly with triangular bolts, and when when open, reveals all the internal electrical components, which remain in near MINT condition! Arious manufacture marks and stamps, and the main data plate on the front clearly indicates "Wast 1a".

Dated 1940, it features the original insulated cord, leading to the main handset (earphone and mouthpiece), as well as secondary connections for other equipment. The secondary ear piece is missing, but that come up by themselves, so it should be an easy replacement. Some slight paint loss but nothing that detracts. And it remains in un-restored condition, retaining it's authentic WW2 look and feel! One of the nicest and MOST COMPLETE bunker phones I have ever seen!
