It's winter holiday here - the whole family has the flu, so time for some writing.

Here is another Danish related W-SS helmet from my collection. It was originally "captured" when a young Danish boy was a pupil at a major Danish boarding school on Seeland approximately 40 miles from Copenhagen in May 1945 just after the liberation. The Danish resistance movement used the school as a storage for confiscated German weapons and equipment. The pupils managed to "liberate" a few items from the storage including this helmet. He kept the helmet until 1985 when he gave it to his friend and I got it in turn last year.

It's a standard "Q" helmet which at some stage was painted black, but is has been carefully removed by the previous owner except on the inner lower skirt. It's named, but the name appears to ge German, not Danish.
