Hello and welcome. Camo helmets are tough to photograph correctly to get the right feel for them. Your photo's are very dark. From what I can see it looks like a super camo. Any chance of doing a close up of the eagle ?
Hello Franck,
thanks for your post and sorry for my poor pictures!
Here are another ones of the eagle and the camo.
I'll make some better pictures soon.

Welcome to GHV Mat.
I love the splotched patterns. Great character to it.
so looking forward to see better pictures.
Gents,
thanks for your comments! Here are some new pictures; I did my best with my skills and this cloudy weather...
Any ideas about these two soldiers : Kasprowski and Uffz. Reimann? Or about 9. Batt II./Flakrgt. 22?
I keep looking on some information by my own.
Thanks for your help.
