One of my interests in WWII is collecting original artifacts especially German items. As time passes, these items become more rare and difficult to obtain. I mentioned the 6th Fallschrimjager Regiment in my previous post about Dead Man's Corner. Fallschrimjager basically means paratrooper and the 6th Regiment is most well known.
This is a picture of my German M38 Fallschrimjager helmet. It's hands down my favorite helmet in my small collection. The M38 helmet can be easily identified because they don't look like the traditional German helmet. Mine has a couple of names inside but I've not had much luck in tracing the names to the paratrooper it was issued to.

*As a note, my interest in German or Nazi artifacts is strictly historical in nature and in no way condones the actions, atrocities, etc. committed by the Nazi's.
“Very moving”...The WWII artifacts, is a must see. Amazing! We really enjoyed the museum learning about all the figures in the battle in Gettysburg during the civil war. A must visit if you are planning a trip to the area.wwii artifacts
