These are authentic German body armor flak jackets! Each one is in excellent condition and is a rare piece of German military history.

What is a Flak Jacket? The term "flak" comes from the abbreviated form of the German word Flugabwehrkanone, a type of anti-aircraft gun. Flak Jackets were originally worn by gunners in the Air Army Corps to protect themselves from airborne shrapnel. However, the original vest had steel plates and it was too heavy for mobile ground troops. After World War II, they re-invented Flak Jacket, took out the steel plates and put multiple layers of dense nylon instead. The vest weighs about 8lbs and the Army reported that these Flak Vests reduced the number of chest, back and abdomen wounds by up to 70%!
