Heer Q.66 winter whitewash camo helmet. German issue whitewash for their AFVs, artillery, equipment, etc., was a powder or paste form mixed with petrol and applied. It was designed to be removed with a stiff brushing, so original whitewash helmets are rare. Wearing a white helmet or riding in a white AFV not in the snow is unhealthy in a war zone. Much of the whitewash on this helmet has flaked off over the years. It's fragile and I could get the rest of this off with a stiff brushing.
