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.

@craighyatt: I do know people who lived through it, thank you. And I had an uncle who risked his life to fight the evil of Nazism. He was there at D-Day, and survived the landing on Omaha Beach, where allied forces were hit hardest. He had nightmares about it until the day he died at the age of 81. I've heard firsthand accounts of the shit Nazis did. Don't be condescending to me, OK?

I'm not sure why you're so offended by someone re-purposing and selling old German military backpacks, but hey, it's your right to be offended. If you have family or friends that suffered under the Nazis, then you have my sympathies.

As I see it neither the Nazi party nor the ideology they espoused will benefit one iota from this company selling used backpacks, so take a deep breath and try not to lose too much sleep over it. There are still real problems in the world that need our attention.

Dude, grow the fuck up. We're a country based on the ideal that two people have the right to disagree. Not only do they have that right, but the right to openly express their disagreement. Which fortunately, if distastefully, includes people having the right to walk down the fucking street in full Nazi/Spongebob/KKK regalia while playing the goddamn theme from the A-Team on the kazoo.

And let's just bring this back a little bit to the topic at hand. I am right at this moment wearing army boots and BDU type cargo pants. Why ? Because I'm a war monger ? Because I specifically wish to extoll the millitary and everything it stands for. No...because millitarys frequently get good gear. Practical, durable, well made. It isn't a surprise that these German bags are still around, the Nazis had some pretty amazing engineers and designers who produced awesome gear and tech. This is a TECH website. From the picture it appears that they already removed any swastikas that might have been on this thing (and handily replaced it with a solar panel...more gadgetry) so I hardly think removing the article as well is warranted...

@craighyatt: your comments are ridiculous. no one is discounting or pardoning what the german army did in WW2. but your argument is misinformed. if that is the case, why are french goods still being sold? Louis Vuitton started making bags for napolean and he wasn't the nicest guy in the world, those bags sell for thousands of dollars till this day. The British Monarchy has performed countless numbers of horrors to both Ireland and India, not to mention our very own USA, things with their crest are still being sold for countless dollars and pounds. Japanese Samurai swords fetch pretty pennies, last time i checked they ravaged small villages in territory battles.

you are truly uneducated. you went to auschwitz and got that funny feeling inside. good for you. but your lack of hiistorical knowledge is downright embarassing. Concentration Camps are just on the things the nazis did. they also did countless number of good things too.

let's not forget our USA slaughtered millions of native americans. still hate them?

Also, with Dangerwillrobinson 's additional info: that this is probably not a real nazi backpack, but one made for marketing to capitalize on 'german efficiency and technological breakthroughs during WWII' that makes this just a *bit*...odd, wouldn't you say?

My wife is vietnamese and she did a stint working for the VA. Some of the vets were actually afraid to have her work on their teeth when they heard her accent. These kinds of feelings live a long, long time. I do think that we can find ways to acknowledge mistakes, bring them out into the light and try to understand them, but we can do that without trivializing them. I truly understand these are just "recycled goods". I understand the deep feelings of abhorrence seem irrational. I know it's hippocritical for me as an american to feel as I do about nazi germany. I know it's not cool, and that I come off like some old dude who's out of touch. All I can do is express how I feel, with respect, to others on this forum.

@Phokal: I'm reframing the article away from this bullshit anti-semetic garbage that people like to throw around. When people say Nazi, they mean evil baby killers, not political party. So I'm calling this a WWII German designed bag. Yes its Nazi because of the era, but its not a Nazi bag in the sense that it held the skulls of baby jews. People need to do some solid research and realize that the Nazis were a celebrated political party, envied by the USA and Britain at the time. But today, Nazi just means evil. So anything that occurred in Germany during WWII under the Nazi party is evil. Which is incorrect. Holocaust was evil. Everything German during WWII (Nazi) wasn't.
