Yesterday’s arrival. A small (Q60!) single decal Luftwaffe helmet, lot number DN127. The partial liner and partial chinstrap are rats, dry rotted and falling out. The interesting aspect of this helmet is the "M.P." in whitewash on the brow of the shell, designating post War use be a German soldier impressed into security duties by occupation forces. After the War hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht personnel were interred in camps and forced to rebuild the devastated cities of Germany. In addition to Allied Military Police, German soldiers were called upon to perform some security services, including such tasks as guarding the camps, performing traffic control, etc. This helmet was probably used by one of those conscripted German MP’s. I have only seen one other over the years. Hope you like it. Jim G.
Guys,
In case you haven’t seen the information can I point you in the direction of this thread: Forum Upgrade Information.
It’s fairly self explanatory, the forum needs upgrading to a new server to help it run faster and to store the amount of information contained here. Therefore, you might find some downtime or slow running so please be patient and bear with Dimas who will try and make the transition as smooth as possible.
Obviously it costs money and as the donations are some way short it would be very helpful if a few £/$/ could be contributed if at all possible. The forum is run by it’s members and is not a business or money making scheme, paid membership is not mandatory and long may that continue. There is a wealth of information here and it continues to increase on a daily basis as more members join and contribute. If the forum and it’s members have helped save you some money or helped you work out a good deal, please consider returning a little if you can.
Thanks for reading and thank you to everyone for their contributions and willingness to share their collections and opinions!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to show this one. Got this badge and picture in the mail this week. The badge has some severe damage but only to the enamel. I’m thinking about having it repaired by a jeweler.
A very rare badge and I am sure it will be one of the center pieces in my German medical collection.
Cheers,
Pieter
