There's no guarantee it's a wedding ring, generally, lots of different cultures have symbolic reasoning behind the placing of wedding rings, but thinking along military lines it's usually not good practice to have any jewelry at all.

Re: Helmet Camouflage database
Actually I have found quite a lot of photographs with questionable dates or captions. Heer labelled as SS, dates ranging from 1940-1944 while it's clearly late war, and so on. Keep your eyes open, and don't trust the captions blindly.Pug42 wrote:Do they not get their dates from the info with the negatives/scratched into the leader/whatever?
If all they are doing is guessing then that calls into question every date in that picture archive... surely they wouldn't bother putting 'Summer' if they weren't even sure what the year is?
I appreciate why you are saying the year is wrong though...

Re: Helmet Camouflage database
I believe our very own Stigroadie posted on another forum that the material used for the helmet cover is infact Hungarian camo.
