Rubber helmet bands?

By admin ( February 10, 2011 at 11:03 am) · Filed under History forum

Watching a VERY good Stalingrad documentary with LOTS of good video. Noticing a trend of soldiers with the black rubber bands around the helmets. Some used the rubber band to hold a piece of cloth as a makeshift helmet cover OR the rubber band could hold some foliage.

Does anyone know what this band was? I’d read innertube but it looks very small.

Anyone have rubber band stories, facts or trivia?
