German Camouflage
Net: Reproduction WW2 German Helmet
cammo net. They were used on all models (M35, M40, M42, M38),
of the German WW2 Helmet including the German Paratrooper
Helmet. There was only one, I repeat one, version of the camouflage
net made by the German wehrmacht and this is an identical
copy! This net has been created from an original net to correct
materials, sizes and accessories. If you see other German
nets and the squares are larger or smaller or they don't have
the same parts then it is not a true copy - this one is!
These nets were also used by snipers but not
made specifically for snipers, if you see others marked as
such they are incorrect!
This net comes with two attachment wires, two front hooks
for holding the net off the face and the rear tightening ring
just as the originals had! Full instructions are given below.
Have a look at the pictures below, they show the various methods
of use from net down to net up, the sides tucked in and extra
securement via an inner tube rubber. They were even cut to
size after attachment - a very versatile bit of kit!
The inner tube or helmet is not included in
the sale.
