Andrea D Posted March 1, 2025 #1 Posted March 1, 2025 This original German helmet preserved as left by a wounded soldier in the Italian campaign. It has a history full of adventure...
pacreamer Posted March 5, 2025 #2 Posted March 5, 2025 I’ve been out of the ww2 German helmet collecting world for a bit but I love the color on this one. Nice M35, with original apple green color? Another collector should correct me if I’m wrong. How did you come across it? Are there still good ww2 items to be found in Italy? I have family there and might visit soon.
Andrea D Posted March 10, 2025 Author #4 Posted March 10, 2025 This helmet is 100% original, left here after a German soldier named Kulp was wounded and from Liguria (an Italian region) was transferred to hospitals in Piedmont (another region). From there he was repatriated to Germany and some of his things were left behind. The war was practically over. This helmet was passed from a caretaker of the old hospital site to the caretaker of the village cemetery who years ago still had it and gave it away, exchanging it with a copper pot. Yes in Italy there are findings of war material, especially on the Gothic Line excellent discoveries are made regarding WWII
