Most British war films I've seen are in B&W and were made during the war as morale boosters (Maybe b4 the US came in too). The Nazi helmets used in such were the bit coal scuttle types from WW I.
Maybe the US public don't think that, but I refer to the film makers.
Take U 571 for instance:

>>And if you watch certain US films and TV shows about the 2nd War (such as "Band of Brothers") you'd think that only the Americans were involved anyway, and the rest of us just got in the way.
