Hello,
I am interested in the history of US M1 Helmet in WWII Canadian infantry. Were M1s used only by the Canadian units at Kiska or also in the NW Europe? No problem to see Canadian soldier equipped with M1 Helmet at Kiska but I have never seen Canadian troops with M1s in the ETO with exception of Maj.-Gen. Harry W. Foster, GOC 4th Canadian Armoured Division.
Why Canada bought M1s from the USA? When? How many pcs? Did Canada buy Fixed Bale variant or also Swivel Bale? Was two-tone net on the Canadian M1s Canadian-made or other? Did the Commonwealth systems earphones fit to the M1s?
I am the most interested in Canadian M1s in the ETO, if they served there and then of course.
I would be thankful for your information
Best regards
C.
