Liebstandarte Pith Helmet

[wizardman]

Leibstandarte men during the campaign in Greece..does anyone here have an example of one of this type of pith helmet?

Unless I am very much mistaken, those are captured British pith helmets. The SS didn't have its own tropical clothing at this stage of the war.

(And, not to put too fine a point on it, it's Leibstandarte.)

That's true. I can verify it. You are one of the modest persons i have ever met (even digitally )

Your work here is of very high quality and we thank you. Others can well emulate your example of acute learning, clear exposition, as well as gentle demeanor.
