A book about American military camouflage
This layer of fishing net on the helmet of the American army is to solve the problem of helmet reflection and make its position less easily exposed. If you have watched movies and TV plays about World War II, you will find that the helmets of American soldiers always make you recognize their identities at a glance. Because during World War II, there were many soldiers from different countries, and their helmets were different. For example, Britain is a flying saucer helmet, Germany is a M35 helmet and so on. The reason why the US military is the easiest to identify is that their helmets are covered with a fishing net, which looks very conspicuous.

In fact, the clothes worn by these soldiers play a very important role in the battle, such as the fishing net covered on the helmet. According to historical records, this kind of fishing net has saved thousands of American soldiers. Careful friends will find that their helmets are all made of metal and easily reflect light under the sunlight. So, will it be easy to become an enemy by exposing the position of American soldiers to the enemy? Live targets? . When Japan and the United States went to war for the first time, the American army was defeated because of this negligence.

In order to solve the problem of helmet reflection, the US military decided to cover the helmet with fishing nets. In addition, some twigs can also be inserted into fishing nets. This can not only avoid the problem of light reflection perfectly, but also provide high concealment for the US military in jungle operations. In addition, you can put some towels, bandages and other first-aid supplies in the fishing net, which can save the time of finding things in an emergency.

After covering this fishing net, the casualties of American troops were reduced to some extent. At the end of the war, the Japanese army was dragged down, and before long, Japan was forced to declare surrender. From this point of view, in the wars of all ages, there are always not only the confrontation of strength, but also various strategies and methods, and wisdom is the magic weapon to win.
