Country:  | Luftwaffe parachute harness or parts of the seat belt?
These parts were recently found at the crashplace of a Focke Wulf 190. Can anyone tell me what that is? I'm looking for pictures of Luftwaffe seat pelts and parachute harnesses. Who can give me advice? Thanks! - Kurtl |

seat belt arrangement the Germans had.

Country: | I think Net Sailor is right.Those are parts of a parachute.In the third and fourth pics we can see mount of a cord for opening of a parachute ( probably )It looks like the one I've marked with the red arrow in the uploaded by me pic.

Country: | Could that handle be part of the parachute too? Found it approx. 20 meters close to the previous parts in this topic. - Kurtl | |
