RZ-20 Fallschirmjager Parachute, Fl. 30272
Offer
Excellent, original WWII German Luftwaffe RZ-20 Fallschirmjager
Parachute, Fl. 30214! 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.
