The Wehrmacht did not expect a Gas war post 41 so the Gasplane was taken from the men and put into depot.

They had the Aufspürgerät that reacted to more types of gas. It could be worn on the belt or in vehicle, Looks a bit like a long lamp.

And a lot of other stuff like Aufspürpuder (powder) that reacted by changing Color. But normally not issued to the units.

In the carrier some Wehrmacht soldiers carried a lot of other stuff too.

But you should not forget that UK and US army had been fully motorized, so the men could put the mask into vehicle. An option that most German soldiers did not have.
