Default It's still out there !! LW items in attic find
An attic find last weekend in Antwerp.
Among some british and US items were these two rubberized bags for an individual life raft, used by Luftwaffe aircrew members.

Both are in very fine condition, sadly one is lacking all the yellow text sections.

Enjoy !

Thanks !
I didn't know it was KM, will post the same in the KM forum then.

What was this for ? Did every guy on a ship have a personal life raft ??
(maybe something to ask in the KM section ?)
