Can we see a photo of the whole number please? I think it might be this unit:

Feldpostnummer 39705
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 6. Reserve-Flak-Batterie leichte Reserve-Flak-Batterie 402,
dann 6. Reserve-Flak-Batterie 7,65 cm, dann 3. Batterie Reserve-Flak-Abteilung 504,
(1.3.1942-7.9.1942) 3. Batterie schwere Flak-Abteilung 504,
(12.3.1943-7.9.1943) 3. Batterie gemischte Flak-Abteilung 504 (v).

Yes Obkriegar it is a three I just took a magnifying glass to it it had like a name tag piece covering the 3 and made it look like a 8 full no is 39705 with L in front of it so it is German name and no not GI? and would the L be for Luftwaffe. thanks for the info. timothy

A good looking Luftwaffe overpaint. Leon.

Yeah the "L" is for Luftwaffe and the number is a feldpost number. Mo beat me to listing the details but what he posted is the unit the owner of the helmet belonged to and of course his last name is printed before that.
