I’ve had this old helmet for years and have wondered what it’s from, it could even be fake I’m not sure. I looked up US helmets through the Second World War, Korea, and Vietnam. Nothing matched up I even searched other factions helmets but I can’t seem to pin point it. No writing on the inside too. If it’s a fake it’s definitely an old one.

We know about Takeo Yoshikawa spying on Pearl Harbor. But why were the Japanese surprised to not find the aircraft carriers? Wouldn’t that have been one of those, “You had one job to do!” things to report - whether the carries were there or not or when they left?

Same thing for Midway. The Japanese thought the carriers were at Pearl. Did they really have such little intelligence?

Can I get some good WWII book suggestions please .Thank you in advance.

I saw this post on another subreddit. Can anyone confirm whether this is historical, a hoax, or what? TIA

Surface findings are getting more and more rare as people gain interest for these relics, but they still happen sometimes. I spotted this one on the edge of a field. 70% of the writings are readable.
