The M1 helmet is an emblematic element of the paratroopers of the 506th PIR during Operation Market Garden. Designed to protect soldiers, this helmet is equipped with an original small mesh net, a reproduction first aid kit and an Inland version fiber liner and its Rigger Made chin chup. It is representative of the helmets worn by the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne during the parachute operation over Holland.

This shell is painted in the colors of an officer of the 2nd Battalion of the 506th PIR of the 101st Airborne Division and patinated for an aged and authentic effect.

"Battle Battered" 506th PIR Market Garden

The 506th PIR's mission was to capture the bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal at Son, then move south towards Eindhoven to secure four bridges over the Dommel River. However, on the 17th, none of these tasks were completed. Despite their rapid assembly and march towards Son, their advance was halted by a German 88mm cannon in the center of the town.
