      This find, with nearly every helmet being a camo version, throws cold water on those who say that there are too many camo helmets and that most are postwar paint jobs. It also lends credence to the theory that the retreating army had little time for photography. Those who say that there is no photographic evidence that camo helmets were common, have not seen this.

      Hey Chip. The Germans may not have taken photos of the camo helmets, but the Australians did, there is a series of photos of German POWs captured on 8. August 1918. Many of the helmets visible are camo, the most common being the black boarder version.
      Best
