ITALIAN HELMET CAMO
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:48 pm
Gentlemen,
I notice in many original photos Italian soldiers utilizing cord or string on their helmets that is passed through the air vents. Was there a specific pattern or method of attaching the cord?
Also it appears that some units, like XMAS, painted their helmets in a camo pattern that appeared to be similar to the "Normandy" pattern used by the Germans. Were there specific colors?
Thanks for the help,
Jim
