what did the soldiers do?

Tom,

Reason #1
Soldiers that have a Holster (or other equipment for that matter) that wears beyond reasonable servicable use or finish in combat are just discard them or turn them in to supply and a new one gets issued...

Reason #2
As for what the German soldiers during WW2 used to look spiffy in their leather accessories... probably boot polish because of reason number one they weren't concened about long term leather deterioration and breakdown......only soldier breakdown [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

...from an Old Soldier who knows...
