Knowledge is power, guard it well.
Italian paratrooper's Post war M42/60 helmet cover "telo mimetico" pattern.
The curtain was attached with the help of 5 buttons.
Note that the cover was most of the time worn without the rear neck curtain.
This was the cover most popular way to be worn, with a net & secured with a tube.

Nice display Jack and those specialist paratrooper Italian covers are hard to come by so thanks for sharing ,my example has been fitted with a jacket hood of the generic camouflage mostly seen in use on the M33 model

Polish "Petal" desert prototype? helmet cover.
Polish deployment for the first Gulf war (1990-91) did not involved combat troops.
Polish forces participated in Operation Simoom and had naval and medical deployment. Their personnel was 319.
Nevertheless the fact was that no desert camouflage uniform was available for them.
Maybe that this desert "Petal" inspired pattern helmet cover was quickly manufactured
in anticipation for deploying polish combat troops in desert environment after the first Gulf War.
An official desert camouflage pattern will only be issued 10 years later, the Wz 2000 issued in 2002.
This cover is made of 2 section of thin nylon, secured with a drawstring, fits perfectly on the Wz. 75 helmet.
Note that the pink colour stands out, the photo was taking with a bright sun.

For the curious: Polish trial camouflage uniform?
Helmet cover for the counter-terrorism elite units "Diensteinheit IX" or "9. Volkspolizei-Kompanie" of the former GDR.
