Well, friend, during World War II, the standard issue camouflage for US soldiers was known as the M1942 "Frogskin" pattern. This camo featured a mix of green and brown splotches on a khaki background, helping our soldiers blend into various environments. It's important to remember the brave men and women who served during that time and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.

How did soldiers decorate their helmets in World War 2?

US Army M1 steel helmets were not issued with cloth camo covers as were the US Marines fighting in the Pacific, during WWII. Consequently, soldiers didn't do to much writing on steel. The common thing was to paint their division patch on the sides of the helmets (1st Infantry Division, 3rd ID, 4 ID, etc.). In Vietnam, the US Army began, for the first time, issuing cloth camo reversible covers for the steel M1 helmets. At this time US Soldiers began writing graffiti on their helmets.


How do you insert netting into a M1 helmet?

The WWII US Marine Corps cloth camo, and the Vietnam War US Army Mitchell pattern (reversible) cloth camo covers were half circle cut (half circle design), you just placed the steel helmet (steel shell=steel pot) into the opened up cloth camo and stuffed the exterior of the shell into the cloth camo, and pulled and stretched until the shell was tightly inside the cloth camo. Then you folded the tips of the cloth into the center of the helmet's interior and then stuffed the liner into the shell (on top of the folded up cloth camo). The liner holds the camo cloth cover in place. The US Army's netting (was general issue in WWII, and parts of Korea only) might be a square cut pattern (not a half circle cut like the cloth camo described above). If so, just lay the steel pot open side up centered on the laid out camo net, then tuck in the ends of the net, just like was done with the cloth camo covers described above, tuck them in nice and tight, then stuff the helmet liner in on top of the net...again just like was done with the cloth camo. Again, the liner will hold the camo net in place. For the exterior, a commonly available (because they're still be used and issued) helmet band will hold it in place or a cut inner tube from a tire (like the original Vietnam War bands used to be).
