Germany // Afrika Korps / Pith Helmet

Germany // Afrika Korps / Pith Helmet

The pith helmet was rarely worn in action, but can often be seen in photos taken away from the front lines. The normal combat headgear was the standard M1935 steel helmet, painted light sandy yellow or stone. A silver-white Wehrmacht eagle on a black shield usually stenciled was sometimes painted on the left side. Unofficially though more often, the DAK vehicle sign, a white palm-tree and swastika, was painted on the right side. Cloth covers made of burlap were also used.
