GERMAN NAVY FIRE PROTECTION HOOD
DESCRIPTION
Originally developed for naval damage control and onboard fire response, this Bundeswehr Marine protective hood was designed to shield the head, face, and neck in high-risk environments. Used by crews operating in confined ship spaces where fire, heat, and projections were constant threats, it reflects a highly functional approach to military safety equipment from the late 20th century.
