    Boots and Helmet Attic Find

    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.

                Great LW-field-division camo!

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

                          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.
