There has been much talk throughout the military archaeologist newtwork of the now famous "Big hole". Certainly it has provided many with a plentiful supply of original German equipment.
Above is what one typically found when searching in this area. As in 1945 the helmets lay thick in the ground, the condition of the examples shown here is not excellent but many collectors are prepared to buy even these.
The sheer weight of soil, as well as helmets stacked together ha clearly crushed some.
