Re: NCO named M42 battle damashed with history
Superb! Very rough but it has a great look to it. It is all the better as you know the history and the former owner. I am happy he survived the war and grew old, a great souvenir

Egbers Survived that hit?? It must have just about torn the entire top of his skull off! Wow....talk about a tough guy! Was his family the ones who de-Nazified the decal? An amazing piece of history, for sure!

That is an amazing story, he was one lucky guy! I assume he denazified the helmet himself after the war.

Re: NCO named M42 battle damashed with history
Ouch! I bet that took some off the top. Very lucky to survive that, and the Eastern Front. Great history. Shame it got de-Nazified. Still a great lid that would be great in any helmet collection. How much you want?

In the world of Helmet collecting very few have any traceable or known history making this a superb piece of Stahlhelm !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
