Delete this message or move it to the right place if this isn't the good one, but I habe been told by several WW1 militaria collectors that german army helmets wore no camo. In fact, it seems that the camo we generally associate with stormtroopers was done by.....artillerymen who had the paint to put on their helmets (as it was the same paint used for their guns) and the free time to paint them.
Stormtroopers and ordinary infantrymen used, in fact, mud to camo their helmets. I must admit that I have read several books about WW1 and untils now I have never seen photographs of soldiers wearing the kind of camouflaged helmets we represent so often on their lead counterparts.
