Use of camo US parachute material to make german hemet covers, (by 6th FJ Regt?) near Carentan, Normandy, and shown in nearby museum at "Dead Mans Corner"

This is a ground dug helmet, and the reason the cover is still in good condition, is that US parachutes were made out of Nylon at the time; and not silk as many believe.
It makes you wonder about all those 'this thread is nylon so it cant be WWII period' comments.
