Didn't Germany use something like that for chow to feed the soldiers on the front line? But I'm not sure..

My mom said map holders, but I think she is wrong?!

They are artillery shell holders, and I think they are Swiss. Cheaper-than-dirt and other surplus catalogs still sell them.

WWII US Army Artillery Shell Canister & Wicker Carri (09/10/2011)...

Artillery shell canister.

Regardless of what that auction listing says, the US military has never used wicker baskets to transport ordinance.

I pointed it out for the canister, not the basket. Hell everyone knows Army wicker is painted green.
