Info on Akja or Pulk or snow sled

[crazydima]

Tovarischi,

I am looking for detailed information(photos schematics etc) on the vintage sleds used by the Finns, Germans, Russians to transport weapons, wounded and equipment.

I have been surfing the net but all I have found are modern ones made of aluminum and polymers.

They are sometimes referred to as an akja or pulk. The Germans referred to them as a swamp stretcher.

They are the type which look like small boats as opposed to the troika's or sleighs.

My intention is to build one.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Dima
