I was watching some picture of Canadian infantry man and Polish infantry man and look to me that they have the same kind of helmet and i am speaking of the free polish soldiers who fought with the Allies in Monte Cassino.

No,
before war Polish soldiers used Polish helmets. Only Polish cavalrymen used French helmets and few cavalry regiments German 8) helmets (10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade).
After war we used Soviet helmets shortly and then the Polish ones.


Best regards.
