Hi, Yes Tony, it was found in the area situated near Oder river. I've seen once on Germanmilitaria.com this type of helmet in Luftschutz painting but with removed badge. But, if we assume the helmet belonged to Luftschutz then I have to pose a question how large were towns in which Luftschutz were created? The town (former K?nigsberg Neumark) where I've found it is quite small, besides there were no reasons for air raid on it, except of airfield located near it, but I've never heard about any bombing occuring there. Kev in Deva thanks for info So it could be also used by Romanians as well. So many possibilities. fanatyk6
