WW2 WW11 German Aviation Fallschirmjager – PARATROOPER PARACHUTE Pack & Harness
The Fallschirmjäger were the paratrooper branch of the German Luftwaffe before and during World War II. They were the first German paratroopers to be committed in large-scale airborne operations. Throughout World War II the Fallschirmjäger commander was Kurt Student.In 1941, Fallschirmjäger adopted the RZ20 (Rückfallschirm, Zwangablösung or “Backpack Parachute, Static Line Deployment”) parachute, which is distinguished from its predecessors by the harness’s four quick-release ports. Each release port can be opened by two quick actions.Due to the excellent deployability of the chute from the pack tray upon exiting the aircraft, the trooper would be under a fully inflated canopy just over 120 ft from the plane.This allowed them to jump super low (80-100 meters) and kept them out of the air for long periods of time.Authentic / WW2 / German Paratrooper pack & harness "no parachute inside" There are two labels on the bag (hard to read) also information stamped on the "inside" of the bag / Bag has one hole that is through on the bottom "Size of a quarter" the labels are worn / The harness and bag function well / Metal clasps are nice and strong / All springs working / Pictures have been taken with blankets inside bag for effect "blankets not included" Please inquire with any questions / Thanks for looking
