Re: M42 French Legion Regiment Wehrmacht - Opinions Please
Thanks, JPhilip:
I'm much wiser now.
Most of what I knew of the subject came from Christian de la Maziere's book. Interesting guy.
There was a documentary called, if I remember, "The Sorrow and the Pity", in which he had a major role. He came across as the one rational man in a bunch of idiots. His own history with the Charlemagne Division, was just revealed at the end.
Bien a vous,
Pat

Re: M42 French Legion Regiment Wehrmacht - Opinions Please
Hello Gentlemen,
Many thanks for your quick and emphatic posts. There seems no doubt in anyone's mind the helmet has been doctored up, never was a French Legion lid. I have to take Lothar Harting under my wing, I wondered, if he ever issued a C.O.A. for such a obviously crass fake or perhaps his reputation has also been manipulated by the faker for his own ends? The guy did offer me two other helmets - Dutch SS and Wehrmacht Winter-camo, this time without any C.O.A's perhaps these are o.k. (I have my doubts) I don't want to choke the thread up, I may put them up for viewing, this time together. Again thanks everyone for the post.
Best wishes
