What I'm saying is 1944-1 is a superset that contains, 'gear' the
storage case and set 1944-2 which is the set with the actual parts. Therefore
1944-1 does not need an instruction entry, only 1944-2 which is the set with
the parts. Once this question is sorted out, I'm also inclined to think there
should only be one box, but I'm less sure of this point.
Stormchaser is the one who added the -2 subset so maybe when he has time to respond,
he will explain how this works.

You are correct that 1944-1 technically should not have an instructions entry.
However, the instructions entry cannot be removed from the set entry due to
a flaw in site architecture. Thus, it remains.

So is it done this way because sometimes 1944-2 was sold separately and not always
combined with the storage case? If so then the name seems very wrong. If not,
then why the sub-set method and not just a single set with gear?
Because " Universal Building Set With Storage Case" is the name on the box. We
name sets according to the box name.

Sure, but I guess I don't understand why there are two sets. Now that I look,
I see it was done with a few other similar sets. It's confusing when you
have a set of instructions and you come across two sets that are in reality the
same set. It's not normal to have one set with two opportunities to list
the instructions. As always with these situations, it waters down the listing
value.
I guess there was no other solution. What about making the primary listing as
'gear' with the set as part of the 'gear'? I'm sure it's
been thought of, but it would eliminate extraneous listings of instructions and
boxes.

The idea is to treat sets with storage cases consistently catalog-wide when the
items in a bundle are packaged separately. Some sets absolutely require separate
catalog entries because they were sold in different ways:
Therefore, for the sake of consistency, all sets should ideally be treated like
the above examples. Moving toward the catalog-wide consistency in this area
was something I began some years ago and never finished.

I thought that indeed it can be removed, check most foil packs:

Instructions entries can be removed. In the case of 1944-1, it's a different
kind of flaw.
Also, can the images of [1944-1] be moved to default the one showing the storage
case with the boxed set?
We can't move images from one place to another. Images have to be downloaded
and uploaded. You're welcome to do this if you'd like the images arranged
differently.
If one is a set containing a sub-set, shouldn't there
be just one set of instructions and one box?
I think it would make sense to "merge" both entries so that there is only one
set entry which has the parts, the minifigure and the gear item in its inventory
