NSDAP / Political Leader helmet

[Anders]

Many brown helmets shown this week Here is another one!

Not much information about these helmets are know, the few helmets found have probably been used by Political Leaders, security units or guards in the NSDAP organization.
The helmets are all painted in NSDAP brown color, and have been found on M35, M42, M34 and gladiator shells. The helmet insignia is a bordered shield with the NSDAP eagle on the right side and on the helmets left side aparty shield.

Decal from the inside rim on a NSDAP DD Gladiator helmet show that this example
probably have been used by a guard unit of the NSDAP from the district of Saxony,Germany.
