Above is yet another example of a battlefield damaged helmet, in this case a German model 1940 with a single bullet entry hole on the right side skirt, in the region of the wearers right ear. A ghastly exit hole on the rear skirt clearly evidence of the death or serious injury of the owner.
This helmet was lost during the Battle of the Bulge and recovered after years of use as a receptacle for plants or similar.
