Hi all,i have always had an interest in German arms and equipment and i finally got hold of a ground dug helmet. I would really like some info on it. There are no markings on it but there is evidence of some green paint on the inside,and some strange wire attachment where the strap should be.
I would be really grateful if anyone could narrow down a date,and style for me,thanks in advance MP40.
Ps tucked on inside was remains of a german printed news paper,cant read german but if anyone could translate for me that would be great:)
