It did make Sgt. Saunders look cooler than anyone else. And the Thompson was a lot cooler than a Garand.

Some apologists have said it wasn't a standard helmet cover, but rather one Saunders improvised from D-Day camo parachutes.

But it was a standard helmet cover.

I agree the Thompson was and is a cool looking piece of hardware. The M1 not so much but two weapons for two jobs.
