Isn't also that the Army stop using decals and the Luftwaffe continued till the end of the war .

I know that when I first started collecting back in the early 70's, I would always see more Luftwaffe helmets for sale at gun & militaria shows than any other type. SS helmets were few and far between.

I got my very first Stahlhelm when I was 10 years old, still living in Germany, btw...it was a Luftwaffe Blue, No Decal M42, Ckl 55...I drove my mother ape-shit for more than a week until she bought it for me...

Not at all. They stopped together. Helmets were made in the same factories.
