Very interesting photo. I have seen that before. Almost looks like it´s 3D with some type of cloth decal glued on the helmet.

One thought it the picture has been period touched up and the decal added. Maybe it was a Heer helmet and didn't fit the press release of the photo???? Thinking outside the box.

Saw this picture already.. There are actually two different photos with the same soldier. It appears to be a re arranged decal likely handmade, thicker one... and glued on.
Foreigner volunteer ? That could be a possibility.

I am not. Is it unheard of altering photos during WWII for propaganda reasons?

[101combatvet]

No, but why would they go to that trouble with a portrait?

It doesn’ t look like an airbrush touched up photo.

I don't know why. Why would they glue something on the helmet? What do you think?

You made a comment and I'm asking the questions. You tell us.

A reasonable view.

[101combatvet]

Okay, but wouldn't it have been easier to retake or stage another photograph?

A reasonable view.
