When did China's army start to equip with helmets and camouflage uniforms?
Helmets were first invented in England during the First World War. At that time, a general found that the chef had a good bulletproof effect by putting the iron pot upside down on his head during the shelling, so he invented the helmet. Then all countries began to equip. The national army was equipped with helmets before the Anti-Japanese War. Not only did helmets begin to be equipped with German equipment. Moreover, a certain number of helmets are imported from Britain. So in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, we mainly saw British and German helmets. In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, China also imported American helmets from the United States. During the War of Liberation, more than a dozen American ordnance divisions were equipped with helmets. Before liberation, communist party people were not formally equipped with helmets. During the war of liberation, a large number of helmets were seized and helmets began to be equipped. Founding ceremony's China army has helmets, but they are still American helmets. Hitler's army first used camouflage uniforms at the end of World War II, and later other countries' armies followed suit. Regrettably, until the 1980s, our PLA still didn't have a large number of camouflage uniforms. In the Sino-Vietnamese War, most of the participating troops still wore the "national defense green" military uniforms developed in the 1960s, which could not meet the needs of the battlefield environment. The lesson of blood, in the early 1980 s, our army began to equip the participating troops with the first generation of fake camouflage uniforms. Later, the shape of deformed camouflage, that is, the first set of standard camouflage uniforms in the history of the People's Liberation Army-87 camouflage uniforms, began to equip the troops in the spring of 1990.
