Funny thing is, I had a "dealer" at a gun show a couple years back hawking things that looked exactly like crap-helmet #1, complete with cock-and-bull story about how his "great-grandpappy parachuted into Normandy on December 7, 1941 with the Marines, killed a couple hundred Krauts and took this here helmet as a war trophy", or something like that. I felt like I had to de-louse just from looking at the silly things.

In light of the very recent protracted, serious, and sometimes heated debate regarding fake camos, I thought it might be useful (flippant) to post one that we could all agree on !

Ron, I have the true story of this helmet...
this belonged to a german WWI soldier who wasn't updated
about the ending of WWI and he found himself into the
second so paint applied the new german government order of the time
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, that makes a lot of sense,
T,T,T, has reminded me of a story I once read in 'dreamers weekly',
It was published in the late 1940's and ran a story about a particular
German infantryman.
By all accounts he was quite a character.
Orphaned at an early
age he joined the imperial German army and fought in all the
major battles in WW1. During the massive artillery barrage
preceeding the great Somme battles his bunker received a direct hit
and the entrance was caved in. Fortunatly, his bunker was part of the supply dump for the Field Kitchen,
so for the next 24 years Fritz lived on
tinned food, and water that seeped in through the roof that he collected in his M16.
During the France 1940 campaign, the area above Fritz's bunker
caught a direct hit from a stuka, and the huge movement of earth
caused fritz to be freed ! he immediatly reached for his equipment,
stumbled out of his pit, blinked twice, and joined in with his fellow
infantrymen heading to Paris.
Having used his M16 for collecting water and latrine duties for
24 years it had rusted through, but he soon found a replacement.....................
and as T.T.T. pointed out, he painted it the only way he knew how !
And folks, this story is true, I know..............I WAS THAT SOLDIER !
( you need to be old and English/American to get that last gag )
