Hohner Stahlstimmen akkordeon

the accordion was a popular instrument in the military for boosting morale, though its popularity was sometimes controversial with the Nazi regime. During both World Wars, soldiers were documented playing the accordion in barracks and on the front lines to provide entertainment and a sense of community. Companies like Hohner even produced smaller, more portable versions of the instrument for soldiers to carry more easily. The accordion provided a source of comfort and a way for soldiers to relax and enjoy themselves during downtime, offering a break from the harsh realities of military life. Manufacturers like Hohner created smaller versions of the instrument
