Well you niggers asked for sources. This is an original German document. If you want a translated source, tough luck compadre, it ain't a source no more.

I actually tried google translate on this, and ho-lee-fuck, it actually worked semi decently this time.

These techniques weren't designed with bodyarmour (which didn't even exist back then) or backpacks in mind. They are for the typical assault equipment of any soldier. You place the backpack in the vehicle you came in, or leave it at your campsite for later retrival or not.
At that point you will only carry what you 100% need, your gun, your ammo, your canteen, first aid, NBC gear, navigation tools, binocs, etc.
The rest remains where it is suppose to be. Do you really think that if WW3 where to break out anyone would care about supplying body armour, and any grunt would be willing to carry that shit for months and months? No! Anybody with half a brain left would either leave it in a vehicle until needed (for hoouse clearing, or tunnel fighting) or dump them as soon as they even took a scratch. The armour plates would crack sooner or later anyways, which will be a good excuse to dump them too.
