To me its a German helmet.

Does look to be an authentic German helmet thats been rotting in quite wet ground for some years. Takes a lot to get steel to start going like that on the edges.

However, please be certain it was merely found after being discarded. please do not encourage nighthawks by buying from them when they are only interested in raiding battlefields/mass graves and making a profit from whatever they can steal

right kitty, he says he found it in the spreewald. Anyone have any information on battles that were there? I learned the hard way to buy the item and not the story so the help is greatly appreciated
Thanks!!!

The Spreewald pocket was a major area of conflict at the end of the war. For description try to get hold of a copy of Slaughter at Halbe: The Destruction of Hitler's 9th Army, April 1945 by Tony Le Tissier
