The seller said me it was from the Luftschutz used in WW2
Is it normal or Special

It is a standard three piece gladiator shell , the stamped number and letters point to the factory that made the helmet.
You can find these helmets cheap and complete with liner , chinstrap and a good decal , I would not recommend buying them in this condition whatever the price.

I bought it for 5€, what can I do wrong for 5€

LOL, 5 euros doesn't buy much any more. Just think, you got a helmet for less than a Starbuck's Carmel Brulee Latte. Can't fault that.

For 5 euros you did fine! As said, simply a rough Luftschutz helmet. Leon.
