The famous 'Atlantic Wall' photograph... Naval Gun Battery Lindemann Cap Gris-Nez, France Named after Ernst Lindemann, captain of the battleship Bismarck who had perished the previous year, this battery was begun at Sangatte, just west of Calais in 1942. The battery was armed with three 406 mm. “Adolf” guns that had been retrieved from Battery Schleswig Holstein in Poland. The standard shell for these guns weighed 2250 pounds, and could be fired up to 26 miles away. A second round weighed 1300 pounds, and could be launched up to 35 miles. The 65 foot long gun barrel had a life of 250-300 shots. The guns themselves were mounted in separate pillboxes, cast in reinforced concrete up to four meters thick. These guns regularly shelled south-east England. During the two years they were operational, they sent over 2200 shots across the Channel to England. Defection or 'mental health day'?

Sorry I misspoke. One of the opinions of the helmet I posted was that it may be a Finnish post war helmet, not Norwegian. Attached is the post for your review, possibly unrelated to yours but the lack of marks reminded me of it. https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forum/wehrmacht-uniforms-and-equipment/john-burnett-helmet-forum/15607078-unmarked Lance -

I’m not aware of Norway making any M35 helmets, but I could be mistaken. The helmet shown above is an M35. -
