Seriously, these items are finally out of my uncle's attic complete with the dust. Would like some opinions about the helmet and more importantly the boots. I first saw these items that his brother sent home when I was a youngster and just last week was able to purchase them. I would invite any comments or questions. Thanks for looking.

Standard "Wachstiefel" (guards boots), for the long cold russian winters. You slip in those with your regular footwear. Nicknamed "elephants-boots". Nothing to do with Luftwaffe.Originally posted by Tomt View Post

What's with the light green paint? Is that original camo? Or a post war paint job that's been scratched off?Comment

most likely a russian front luft possibly once a white washed helmet , then possibly the owner escaped back to france, and washed the white wash off, and camo'd it id say for normandy or the european area. I see some white wash , at least thats what it looks like. SO.... does it seem to have any white on it in person as you look it over on the outside? Nice scoop anyway.Comment
