I don't usually post here, German helmets aren't my area of interest but I have to share these with you. A few months ago a co-worker was telling me about some military stuff his uncle had given him over the years, including a couple of helmets. Today he brought them in. The great thing about them, this one in particular, is that his uncle made notes of where he picked stuff up. He was a real pack rat. Among the items in this box (and it's only one of several he still has) were sections of parachute, some odds and ends of German insignia, some German flare parachutes and a couple of hats. This helmet was, according to his uncle's notes, picked up shortly after he landed at Normandy on D+2.
I know these pictures aren't the best but I wanted to get some yet tonight. If there is any interest I can post better ones tomorrow!
And, no, they aren't for sale. My friend is keeping all this stuff to give to his son someday. Lucky kid.
