Review of the mesh cover for a helmet: history, functionality
Head camouflage is of great importance at close range.dances. If the disguise is successful, the fighter can look almost point-blank at the enemy and be unnoticed.
For a long time, military personnel used ordinary mud to blend in with the environment. For lack of more advanced tools!
This is exactly what, in particular, German soldiers did at the beginning of World War II.
However, flat camouflage works worse than textured camouflage - twigs, grass, branches with foliage. Therefore, since 1943, a mesh cover for a helmet came into use, into the cells of which natural material collected on the ground was inserted.Material When the battles were fought in settlements, ribbons, paper, rags and various city garbage were woven into the net.
According to some reports, snipers were the first to think of such a simple way of disguise. Ordinary fighters of the Wehrmacht army quickly adopted it, having learned to make helmet covers with their own hands from wire, ropes, pieces of cloth or fragments from anti-grenade net (which covered the windows of buildings, trenches and dugouts). Among themselves, the new camouflage tools were called the "bird hunting net." They are fixedAnd on helmets with wire hooks.
About simple nets with cells on a helmet were not forgotten after the Second World War. Soldiers often combine them with standard fabric covers. Such tactics, in particular, were resorted to by the motorized infantry of the FRG in the 1980s.
