Re: Relic M42 with white paint from Latvia
Hi
I got the information from the seller."This helmet is from a man in latvia.It is about 150 miles from Moscow a lot of heavy fighting went on in that area/also the Russians usually didn't take prisoners most that surrendered were executed on the spot especially SS troops as payback for there atrocities towards the Russian population/it was very dirty war".
Hope this story is true!!

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
