Hello everyone I need help with this. Someone is trying to sell me this helmet for $800 and I am not sure if it is real or not. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. I believe the helmet is real but I don’t know about the shields.

I just completed this book and thought I would recommend it to readers who enjoy books concerning the war in the east. It is available in paperback now. Degrelle was a Belgian volunteer and believed his country would benefit if he raised volunteer units called [Walloons] to fight along side german forces in Russia. This book is one raw and fascinating read. Really goes into detail concerning combat, suffering, and the horrors of war in general. Taking shelter in the Russian Isbas during the winter and being infested with lice and filth for months on end must have been truly horrific. Author describes the escape from the Cherkassy/Korsun pocket [Hell's Gate] where soldiers had to swim across freezing water all the while being pursued by enemy tanks and infantry. Describes the terrible suffering of the wounded unable to escape and crushed under the tank treads. Believe this book was published under another title like Waffen SS on the Eastern Front in hard cover. Truly a fascinating read in my opinion and wanted to pass on to forum members in case they have not read it. Degrelle did escape to Spain and passed in 1994 I read.

I acquired a box lot of books, leather flying cap, gloves and patches. There is no name on the cap or gloves but one of the books is signed by Gunther Fritsch. Was he a Luftwaffe pilot? Does anyone know anything about this fellow? I figure the stuff belonged to him, but I have not been able to find any information. Can anyone ID the patches? Thanks!
