Captured Soviet soldier dressed in SN-42 body armor - 1944


Stalnoi Nagrudnik - the steel bib, designed to stop the 9mm pistol round and potentially even a round from a rifle as long as it did not hit directly front on.

In this photo three non-penetrating bullets have hit the front of the vest and have been successfully stopped, saving this young soldiers life.
