Now that you have posted a profile pic, it definitely looks American except for the liner inside. The liner inside looks German. Very interesting. Still looking

Found something and you are correct, it is German. Looks to be a H-M164 West German Combat Helmet without Camouflage cover. You can look at it at this link about halfway down:

With Camouflage cover

A good book to get is one entitled "Uniforms of the German Soldier,An Illustrated History from World War II to the Present Day" by Alejandro M. De Quesada. Quite a few pictures from post WWII to Today. Lots of early Bundeswehr pics from the 50s,60s and 70s.
