Armor Experience at the Museum of American Armor makes history...

The Wehrmacht helmet became the ubiquitous German helmet of World War II, worn by all branches of the Wehrmacht and SS, police, fire brigades and Party organizations.⁠ ⁠ Private First Class Lester Luber, a U.S. military medic of the 327th Medical Battalion within the 102nd Infantry Division, picked up a Wehrmacht soldier helmet as a trophy following the Germans surrender. ⁠ ⁠ Private Luber kept this helmet in memory of his time spent in Europe, then donated it to the Museum in 1983. #WWII #Wehrm
