Was ist los mit der Wehrmacht?

[Wuerstenfuchs]

Does anybody have any idea what is up with these helmets a couple of the guys are wearing- with the stripes? Are they war games officials? Or what? Thanks. I have a lot of really interesting fotos on my website.

Hello Odessa,

I think they are breadbag straps, which were used frequently to hold camo to the helmet.

Cheers,
Emile

Hi Bob, Emile is correct.

Here is a helmet from my collection with a Luftwaffe bread bag strap around it.

Cheers, Ade.
