Best Answer

White was used because it could be easily seen during blackout conditions . This was done to help the pedestrian to see their way at night in the hopes of preventing accidents .

Blackout conditions were imposed to keep enemy bombers from seeing the city lights which gave the navigator and bombardier the means of locating a city to be bombed .

What does it mean to have a heart on a us World War 2 helmet?

The US 101st Airborne Division sometimes painted white emblems on the side of their helmet to designate their unit. They painted the heart, club, and spade and placed a "-" at the top, left or right. These symbols were not official markings and represented the regiment within the Division and the -Dashes represented the battalion, I believe. It didn't make sense to paint white markings on a helmet while in combat. The enemy would see this and you could get shot. However, the Paratroopers also used camo netting and stripes of cloth to cover their helmets, thus covering the white insignias.
