M17 Chicken wire Helmet

[Paul D]

Gents...I must confess that if that was my helmet (and I would be happy to have it in my collection) that wire would be in the bin !

With you all the way on that

There is ww2 footage of a young soldier at the end of the war wearing an m16 with chicken wire.There is in my book on stalingrad german soldiers in m16s on the approaches to stalingrad,so ironically im sure many m16s where camoed in all the ways in ww2 that the m35s where in the field,lv

Thankyou for your Information LV, makes me even happier to have this helmet!! Its always nice to have a unusual piece in a collection, something to look at and wonder about its history, and to know there is photo evidence of such helmets is even better! BTW what is your book on stalingrad called?
