    Hi JL . Very strange but i hav't seen this thread until moment .
    We had great digging in Demyansk area and of course i'll show here SS helmet i fount and better pics of SS side cap . The helmet is far from mint but very interesting anyway . It was field overpainted but decals are well visible from under the paint as an early apple green color . Unfortunatly the helmet was found at the evening almost in full darkness , so i did't make the pics inside the bunker but only after digging when i was at home .

      It still has some clothes which was at the bunker clearly near the helmet and i did't clean it from helmet surface . May be it was overcoat may by something else ....
      Sadly but one part of the rim is damaged by rust .

                        Is it possible that the hair found in the helmet wasn't human? It looks very coarse and to be cut at different lengths, which would suggest that the man's hair had to be really long. Is it possible that it too was use as insulation-such as deer/russian elks or horse hair?

                            Thank You Very Much Sturm and we have been in contact. If you could just be so kind to tell him I will link him out in a matter of days. I had to make a sudden move out of my apartment and do not have regular acess to my e mails.
