    this are 2 helmets I have in my collection and both were taken back to the US by US soldier from Normandy.

        3 of mine

        Here are four of my Normandies. I have a few more, but these are the best of the bunch!...and I only know that one was found at Normandy, while another was found in the Falaise Pocket... so I hope that is OK. Thanks, Bryan </br>

              Let's not forget that from June 4 - 7, 1942, the Battle for Midway was raging.
