Last Time I was in Egypt I didn't found any Militaria Stores.
the best is to ask at the Hotel or Tourist Info. they must know if that changed.

Hello
I've been many time in Egypt, and at the beginning, there was a "permanent flee market" just behind the railway station in Cairo. There were a lot of camo field jacket, trousers, caps, equipment..., many british stuff, but I far as I remenbered, nothing ww2 german.
But the last time, this market has disapeared. Nobody can told me if this market was on another place now.
There are some taylor shops in the center of Cairo, where you can find some actual military stuff.
And, I think now, the better is to go into the "khan el khalili" market (souk), where you can find all a tourist needs, but may be also if you show them a picture with helmet and so, the sellers can show you where to find some.
Regards
