Not saying this is fake, but am I missing something... Isn't this just an M1 helmet over a standard Tanker's helmet??

A lot of people don't realize that the M1938 tanker helmet provided NO ballistic pretection against small arms fire and or shell fragments. Scan any book on the armored forces and you'll see crew that must be exposed on top of the tank or even in the drivers hatches wearing M1 helmets. Even with the M1 over the M1938, the combination provided next to no ballistic protection against bullets. The M1 helmet was designed to protect against shell fragments. Aside from the odd "lucky" shot, the M1 was not meant to stop bullets.
Freedom isnt free... it must be paid for. Too often it is paid for by the blood of patriots. For those who have paid their share, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.
