Personal breathing appratus

Hello, I have heard that earlier in the war 1943 and before, crewmen on U boats had personal breathing apperatus for breathing in contaminated air. I have read where it was a canister strapped to a sailors chest and a hose went to a mask which covered the face. I wondered if someone could show a picture of thr equipment and wanted to ask how long the equipment worked.
