So the gas masks may very well be killing more people from their use than saving them from poison gas.
Hoses for the M10 were used to connect to central air ventilation in bunkers. However this risk is still real as some gas masks from the Second World War and the Cold War are still being sold and handled as war relics and military memorabilia in flea markets (ref 3), homes and museums all over the world.
The rebreather weighs 12 kg, and can provide 4 additional litters of air. The rebreather was intended to be used for escape purposes only, at depths of 10 meters or shallower. The hoses, stated below are used for those. There is a rebreather unit for this mask, called the ZP-10. They made a Strichtarn and a rubberized version. The NVA had multiple hoods made for the M10M, little to no information is known about them and it appears to have been made to copy the M17 style hood. The carrier comes in 3 types a cloth haversack, a tarp-like dark green bag, and a vinyl bag. Which was changed to a large grey plastic piece, with the words “m10m” on it along with a "M1" style drinking tube wrapped around the assembly with a rubber flap folding over it. Changes encompass the head harness, the voice diaphragm/exhale system. The M10M is an upgraded model of the M10, which entered production in the early 1980s. The M10 mask was used by both Czechoslovakia and East Germany, and remains in use today by the Czech Republic. Due to the different inhale sizes, and cap attachments. The M17's outserts have been found to fit with M10, but are noticeably smaller, and the filters are not interchangeable between the masks. The head harness varies as the M10 head harness is made of a thicker grey elastic fabric with a rubber head pad and large rubber pull tabs. The filter openings are larger and threaded. Instead of the M17 style exhale, where the valve is covered by rubber and forced out through the bottom of the housing. The exhale system is different, having a metal housing with the exhale pointing directly outwards. The Czechoslovakian M10 is heavily inspired by the US M17, but has many clear differences.
