German Helmet - M43?

[Peter Laidler]

Nothing to do with this helmet but zillions of soldiers must have taken enemy steel helmets back home with them as souvenirs. But I wonder how many German soldiers in France '39/'40 took a British helmet or another souvenir, such as a bayonet, back to Germany with them after we'd left. Do they ever turn up in Germany as their helmets turn up in the USA and UK?

My friends dad was captured in late May '40 while laying out a demolition cable. The German Cpl (who incidentally spoke fairly good broken English) took his bayonet and helmet as a souvenir. He escaped later that day and made it back to Dunkirk - and home.........
