Red Luftwaffe Schwimmwest!
I have this weekend been fortunate enough to view in a private collection an early Luftwaffe model 10-30 Schwimmwest. The unusual thing about it is that its RED in colour, not dyed but original Red?
It came from a 109 pilot who was shot down or ditched off Norway very early in the war. I am aware of Blue Schwimmwests as well as the usual yellow but never seen a red one before, any ideas on how rare it is or, how many were made in this colour?
