Did ww2 US helmets issued in winter only have painted white camo or were white camo covers available?

Answer 1

Neither.

Kurt Vonnegut, taken prisoner in the Ardennes in the Battle of the Bulge wrote about the white uniforms of the Germans and said, "we didn't have anything like that."

WW II was fought without much concern for the individual American soldier - we were more about overwhelming them with numbers - witness that pitiful deathtrap, the Sherman tank. The only thing it had going for it was it could be produced easily and cheaply.

Answer 2

Covers
