Gewehrkugelbeweisbüstenhalter

That means bullet proof bra and it is what the German police will be wearing. The female police officers only. I think.

The Guardian reports:

"The new underwear was developed as a second barrier of defence after normal bras were found to cause injuries while on duty.

The officers' bullet-proof vests, while stopping the force of gunshots in an attack, pushed the plastic and metal parts of their underwear into their flesh, causing injury. "

Sounds painful.

The new wonder bras have been properly tested during "Action Brassiere" organised by police officer Carmen Kibat from Hamburg who said: "These can save someone's life so it's not a laughing matter."

So far there are no pictures of the bra yet but they are described as "emblazoned with the word "police" and made from cotton, polyester, elastic and some other synthetic materials, thickly padded and with no metal or plastic studs or fasteners"
