Hi Guys , iv been collecting militaria on and off since i was a boy , as i got older my dream was to go to a battle field and find a German helmet. As i live at the bottom of the world in New Zealand there were no such battles where i could do this , so i had to travel. With the coming of the internet i was able to find some guys in Estonia that could take me out to these battle fields and hopefuly find my german helmet. So the trip was booked and the miss,s and i were on our way , very soon my dream would be reality.We met our 3 Estonian friends and in no time were there on the battlefield , and i found my helmet , we had stoped for a rest and our friend said have a poke around with the steel rod , we were in a swampy bit of ground , after a few pokes here and there i hit steel , i new straight away it was a helmet , but what type Russian or German , putting my hand down in the swamp i could feel the unmistakeable shape , German . I pulled it from its resting place of over 60 years ,time had been hard on it but it was out and mine , there wasnt a happier man on the planet that day i can tell you . Once again i thank my good Estonian mates for an awesome trip , i dont know if you want your names menitioned , but you know how you are , cheers guys Raymond
