    There is a pretty good chance that those bags were made by slave laborers.

    Then again, same goes for the backpacks on sale at Wal-Mart.

    As far as construction of the bag goes, I had the same model, and while it may be rated for 50 more years, I think that may just be shelf life, since 2 years of high school destroyed mine.

    Admittedly, I was hard on it; I carried at least 50 pounds of books and stuff in it at all times.

    Haha, I love how anybody can stick "ww2 german" on something and sell it for a few extra bucks. There were NO such backpacks used by the german military in ww2 that looked anything like those. You may want to point that out in the article. I have been an WW2 equipment collector for over 5 years and this is in no way, shape or form a nazi backpack.

    I think what this backpack is trying to recreate is that of the german infantry breadbag, and even then, that is FAR off from this copy. Here is a link to said breadbag.

    They should be ashamed for sticking such a label on those. Not just for false advertising, but for the sake of using Nazism as a marketing tool.

    Uhm, so they were made for use by the german military circa WW2? What's wrong with re-using an implement designed to aid in war for purposes decidedly NOT warlike?

    Seriously, it's a bag. It isn't like there is a fucking Swastika on the thing and Heil Hitler on the side of it.

    As for the crap below about talking to somebody who lived through it. We all have to get over shit sometime. 60 years later is probably good enough considering German, Japan, and Italy have been allies for oh... 60 years now.

    Or did you forget that we not only bombed the shit out of them, but we then loaned all the money necessary to rebuild the above countries and pretty much the rest of Western Europe as well.

    It looks like these bags have held up well over time. I think probably the only one that holds up even better are the old-style mail bags the Post Office used to issue.

    @madog: That's it. I'm done with people bringing up Godwin on every single topic about Nazis or Hitler. New Law:

    As an Internet discussion involving Nazis or Hitler grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Godwin approaches 1.
