During World War II, soldiers did not commonly wear hearing protection. This lack of protection contributed to many soldiers developing hearing loss and other auditory issues as a result of exposure to loud noises from weapons and explosions.
No, allied soldiers wore khaki uniforms (A shade of medium brown) and German soldiers wore blue/gray. -I believe the first to to wear camouflage were German paratroops in WW2.
They wore helmets long before world war 1.
Soldiers wore leather helmets inside tanks for protection against head injuries caused by bumps and jolts during movement. The helmets helped cushion the impact and reduce the risk of injury.
Cloths
yes they did.
what year did it become compulsory to wear hearing protection at the NCB

Noisy workplaces can cause cumulative hearing damage. Over time, this can cause significant hearing loss as people age. This hearing loss can be very disruptive and debilitating. Hearing protection can help prevent some of the later hearing loss.
Shooting ANY firearm without hearing protection can damage your hearing. They are slightly less harmful than large caliber pistols and rifles, slightly more damaging than a .22 rifle. A word of advice form an OLD shooter with BAD hearing- wear your hearing protection. Always.
It's not the norm, but facial protection is sometimes worn. E.g., military police doing riot control will often wear face shields.
People should wear a hearing protector if the noise or sound level at the workplace exceeds 85 decibels (A-weighted) or dBA. Hearing protectors reduce the noise exposure level and the risk of hearing loss. If hearing protection is required, then a complete hearing conservation program should be implemented.
The best way to ensure maximum hearing protection in noisy environments is to wear properly fitted earplugs or earmuffs that are designed to reduce noise levels.
The recommended decibel levels for ear protection to prevent hearing damage in noisy environments are typically around 85 decibels or higher. It is important to wear ear protection such as earplugs or earmuffs when exposed to loud noises to protect your hearing.
No
They wore uniforms with emblems.
coz they did
Depends on the machine gun. Average somewhere around 154-160 decibels. Wear good hearing protection. That level of sound is associated with pain and hearing loss.
