I have found a couple of Star Wars items/props that are from different international armies, and especial the German Army / Bundeswehr.
Here in particular the three rainmen of Episode II and other episodes.
With this thread, I want to share the three rainmen and some other german military items. But I also want to share in the future other military items that were used in Star Wars.
Let’s start with the first items ...
German Army flak jacket / Bundeswehr Splitterschutzweste
This flak jacket was introduced to the Bundeswehr in 1992. However, it is no longer officially in use in operations. The camouflage pattern is called flecktarn!
Let’s go to the second item ...
German Army overshoes / Bundeswehr Überschuhe
I can`t tell you when these overshoes were introduced to the Bundeswehr?!
Let’s go on with the third item ...
German Army winter hat / Bundeswehr Wintermütze
Some othes in the Star Wars community are believing that this winter hat could be possibly a Swedish one?! But I am believing that it is German too!
I found another picture of an actor were we can see the hat a little bit better...
It is the old version of the German Army winter hat / Bundeswehr Wintermütze in military green. But the same model is still in use but only in flecktarn.
Let’s go on with the fourth item ...
German Army HK G3 Rifle Magazin / Bundeswehr Heckler & Koch G3 Magazin
There is nothing special to tell. You can still find some HK G3 in the German Army! But it has been replaced by the HK G36 and in the next years it will be also replaced!
Let’s finish with the last item ... but this was found in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
German Army Gun cleaning kit / Bundeswehr Waffenreinigungsgerät
It is the German Army Gun cleaning kit / Bundeswehr Waffenreinigungsset that the Germans are using since decades and it is still in use!
