Meant primarially for beginners and experienced novices (like myself) this blog is an informal, sometimes satiric, exploration of the steel combat helmet and its role in identifying, inspiring, and protecting the G.I.s of various nations over the past 100 years. This is the book I thought I'd like to write but with a longer shelf-life, no editors, publishers, or art directors; just me and you. copyright 2024, Mannie Gentile

Mannie Gentile
Everybody seems to like me, even assholes that I have nothing in common with...I think that's because I'm such a good listener, and I have a keen sense of humor. So read this as if we were already friends, because we probably would be if you found your way here. Other stuff from me here: http://combathelmets.blogspot.com http://toysoldiersforever.blogspot.com
