Nifty idea and GREAT looking helmet cover work, Lars et al.

As for the below pics mentioned by several, here some info on him:
The well known series of pics mentioned is supposedly of Hauptmann Dipl.-Ing. Wilhelm Traub, Kommandeur of Pionier-Bataillon 305/305.Infanterie-Division. Traub is taking cover amongst the rubble of the "Barrikady" factory, Stalingrad, before Operation Hubertus (9-12 November 1942). Wilhelm Traub (Dipl. Ing.) was born on the 14th November 1895 in Helmstedt. He was the Bataillonsführer of Pi.Btl.305 which he took command of on the 16th October 1942. He started the war with Pi.Btl.22 were he would climb through the ranks to Hauptmann. Traub did not make it home. Missing in action 5th January 1943 and posthumously promoted to Major in 1944.
