So I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to the Fallschirmjäger, but I lucked up a decent ground dug M38 that had lost all of its paint, its liner, and the liner band and I'm having it professionally restored. My hope is to have it represent the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Fallschirmjäger Division, 'The Green Devils', and wanted to know how that would've been written inside the helmet as if it was named with the unit identification. If anyone could type it out as an example I'd really appreciate it as I'm wanting to make it as accurate as possible.
Also, at what point in the war were Fallschirmjäger units issued helmets other than the official M38? I have seen original photos and footage of FJ soldiers wearing M35s and M40s and was curious as to when this would have happened.
Thank you all!
