    I agree probably more 3rd FJD. The thing is that the previous period picture i posted is located Between Tessy sur Vire and Domjean, there was for sure some guys from the 3rd FJD there!

    I found two more picture from the same group.

      Very interesting discussion... IMO, helmet of post 17 with date on top and bottom is from a 5. FjD's member. It was indeed the date of the Cobra offensiv, western of Saint Lo.
      I have a MG ammunition box with a Fp. Nr of FJR13 with such brown/green hand made camo color.

        I always thought it would be market garden. Will I picked it up that was my first thought. Thanks Larry

            FJ Camo Helmet in Normandy

            In Normandy, Fallschirmjäger wore multiple camouflages on their helmets: sand yellow and green, sand yellow, brown and green, three tons, textured (sand, sawdust ...). Some have retained the camouflage worn in Italy or on the eastern front; others have camouflaged their helmets in the field.
