Re: WWII German Parachute Identifcation and other items?
Hi, impossible to verify authenticity based on these photos.
But most items are indeed german.
The overcoat is US.
Cant help you about the parachute, however writing on the tag is indeed german.
Seems a cool batch of items, i would go to the auction.
Cheers.

Re: WWII German Parachute Identifcation and other items?
The parachute appears to be dated 28th june 1942 and has German markings as Nuno mentioned. One of the water bottles looks to be a medics type. Hard to comment on the items you asked about from such small and poorly detailed pictures. The tropenhelm is a squashed 1st pattern Heer example, thoug hard to say if it has original badges on it.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever
its just an opinion.

If you go to the auction, smell the fabric. Old fabrics have a musky smell usually.....
