Hi all , i need some clarification here. Ive just been watching a programme on the Bruneval Raid on the Military Channel , they have actual film of the Paras coming back on the boats after picking up the radio equipment. The question i have is the shape of their helmets, im looking at several paras wearing what i would initially describe as the WW2 para helmet that we all know as the classic style, but these have a sort of flare to the rear almost like the Turtle helmet of 1944 pattern, now ive never seen this type before, were there other earlier type para helmets, its not the angle of the film nor my eyes, there is a definate and pronounced flare to the rear, anyone got any ideas? cheers dave
