The German navy, known in Deutschland as the marine, is part of the unified armed forces, or Bundeswehr. The German navy finds its roots with the Reichsflotte, or Empire fleet. This was the first navy to exist under the tricolor flag and was established in 1848 during the March Revolution. Today, the German navy is a permanent participant in all four NATO Maritime Groups and is involved in several anti-terrorist operations.

As such, they are in excellent condition, free from the rips, tears, stains and scents that are typically characteristic of military surplus clothing. But that is not even the best part.
