The Legendary Niemoller Light Assault Webbing.

[@military_misfit]

After interviewing Johann I did a blog post on the history of Niemoller webbing, anothergearblog.blogspot.com/2024/06/sadf-sf-gear-designer-johann-niemoller.html

There you go straight from the proverbial horse's mouth...Great blog you have going, amazing to see the original blueprints...

[@military_misfit]

@@Ulrich-q1h cheers mate ;)

[@colinhudson3723]

He bought a foot pedal sewing machine and made it himself at his base . He then made more for the other Recces that wanted . There is an interview with him describing it all .

[@mitchelnorton2692]

I watched that too. Very cool.

The little pockets were for Zippo lighter

[@bwda666]

Yes seen Niemoller talk about it too. It's for a ZIPPO. 100%

[@swalker157]

I like how you explicitly point out the 10rd mags but leave ambiguity for the grenade. Cool kit, wish they made something like that nowadays!

[@military_misfit]

Lol, cheers mate. I'm in NZ 10+ mags are restricted but the grenade is clearly inert. I've been trying to track down a modern Niemoller to use but no luck so far.

it took me about 4 years to get one

[@military_misfit]

Great overview of the Niemoller load carrying system. I have a very beat up hand camo’d Type I Niemoller in my collection. Half of the fixlock buckles are broken, but the rig had a hard life and came to me that way. I wish somebody would repro these in Cordura!

[@stuartcampbell3861]

KammandoStore are reproducing the Niemoller rig with Johann Niemoller in South Africa and is or will be available for a price obviously but check them out if you need some spares or a new rig

[@christophermarshall5015]

great work mate

[@military_misfit]

Thank you, Cheers!

[@shughes4113]

Great video, glad to see someone has done an overview of this setup. I’ve lucked out and got a type 2 version in OD and S2000 camo .I wish someone from the Recces would go over a load out of the system as those little pouches elude me as well. Thought they could have been for crimping pliers or multitool. I’ve seen pics of Recce field gear that included strobes , so not sure if the pouch on the harness was meant to hold one of those or mini binos?

[@military_misfit]

Nice score on the type 2's. I think the kit carried would depend on the Operator and the mission. It would be cool if @LegacyConversations had a kit section. They did a great video on E+E kit, some of their interviews touch on kit and TTPs.

[@shughes4113]

@@military_misfit thanks for the video recommendation. Interesting to see that there are tricks that we still use after all these years. No school like old school.

[@military_misfit]

@@shughes4113 Definitely mate. Check out Peters E+E video its a real eye opener. I couldn't imagine signing for a radio and then burying it, lol.

[@shughes4113]

@@military_misfit For sure, how do you explain to supply to a unit that is being disbanded that it’s buried in Angola. You want it , go get it! Lol. I’d call that one a write off!

[@johannniemoller]

This webbing in this video was made much later..by a Cut Make and Trim CMT contractor..the straped buckel closure on the mags pouches indicate that..i can send you a list of what needs to go into the webbing and the use

[@kurtbaier6122]

Small pocket for lighter.

[@tonydasko4579]

small pouch in front was for zippo lighter

[@gadgetfellow]

what the SAS call an escape and evasion belt, dump the Bergen / back pack and run like hell.....

[@mikalord3414]

Hi mate, I didn't quite catch the manufacturer at the beginning, who made this?

[@military_misfit]

It was made by a South African company called "Back Packer" sadly it no longer exists.

[@mikalord3414]

Cheers!

[@lokischildren8714]

Hello sir How would you modernize this rig???

[@military_misfit]

This one is a modern reproduction done by North Equipment. The only thing I would change is make the rear pouch attach via PALS so its removable and to put PALS on the rear side of the water bottle pouches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWKcfWWug5dqbJosi=lLWAq9PN-IHzZBu6&t=300
