German helmet with a ding on the side. Looks like a splinter and detonation damage. Found in clay in Kurland but when I cleaned it I saw that it had been in a fire..I wonder if someone threw it in a fire on purpose,if a fire broke out in the bunker or prehaps it was used flamethrower on it,,we`ll never know I guess.
