Japanese Trophy Helmets of WWII | American Artifact Episode 39

We've talked about the painted trophy helmets that U.S. soldiers brought back from Europe during WWII (link below), but this was also done in the Pacific Theater as well. In this episode, Erik Dorr of The Gettysburg Museum of History is walking us through some of the items in the museum's collection that show how some of the soldiers, sailors and Marines combined art & military gear to remember their time in the service.
