Highly interesting tie puller for cement casts, of Nazi manufacture, dating back to the Second World War. Featured by a robust steel spindle with four grooves (the grooved section measures approximately 32 cm in length), the instrument allowed, by inserting the wire ties' two traditional loops in the head hook, and holding, with a hand, the opposite end of the tool firm, to tighten the tie with a single gesture, by simply pulling, with the other hand, the flowing wooden handgrip: quickly spinning, in fact, the head hook would have curled the steel wire on itself, solidly tying the tie in a knot. Utilized by Wehrmacht pioneers (Pioniere) as well as Organisation Todt squads, which, particularly between 1938 and 1945, put in train thousands kilometers of complex fortified lines - just think of the Siegfried, Gustav, Gothic Lines, and, most of all, the Atlantic Wall -, the tie puller, in very good conservation conditions - except for some comprehensible tarnish signs on the spindle -, reports, on the end opposite to the hook, some special markings, which confirm all the historicity of the piece: the oval logo, with two crossed hammers, of the Eckardt & Lohkamp («E & L») company of Berlin, mechanical industries specialized in tools and machinery, «H 1938», namely the production year, and the «WaA 145» WaffenAmt code, sign of the gear's government acceptance. An absolute uniqueness on the Web, the find comes as an article of the highest value for the collector, a concrete witness of the gigantic efforts put in place by the Hitlerian regime to establish with war the European “New Order”.
