German mess kit from Narva front. The name reads Drews, can anyone say something about the soldier's possible nationality?

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

this is battledamaged M40 from my helmet collection..
greetings from Belgrade,Serbia
Ouch!
Not enough Advil in the world to cure that headache!!
Still a great lid and good pics - thanks for posting.
I wonder, which projectile/grenade shard made the metal bulge outwards (unless the lid was hit inside the helmet shell), but then I guess strange things happens, when metal flies this away and that way.
Maybe the sheer force of the impact of the small projectile made it bulge outwards a bit.
this is one..crazy bullet trajectory my friend..Maybe a helmet lying on the ground.or the German was above,on the building or something...
who knows...
.. No stains of blood...
tnx this is realy good thread..
