WW2 German Army Field Phone In Bakelite Case

The WW2 German Army Field Phone in Bakelite Case is a communication device issued to German military units during the Second World War. Designed for field use, this portable telephone enabled reliable voice communication between command posts and operational positions. The exterior is constructed from Bakelite, an early plastic known for its durability, impact resistance, and electrical insulating properties. The field phone features a hand-crank generator for signaling, a detachable handset, and internal terminals for wire connections. Its compact design was intended to withstand the demanding conditions of wartime deployment. Marked with original German military designations and typically identified by model numbers such as FF33, these field phones played a crucial role in coordinating troop movements and relaying commands. The Bakelite casing protected the internal mechanisms from moisture, dust, and mechanical damage. This item reflects advances in portable military communication technology during the mid-20th century and is a representative example of German engineering from the era.
