Great helmet Frank with interesting damage.
The ET style SS decal is the icing on the cake

Talked about this one recently w David C. We were talking about “the look” as he was commenting on one of mine saying it had it for him. I mentioned this one from you had it for me (posted a ways back) and an M1 helmet w net that he had. You Can’t buy ..... “the look”.... just happens . I like this one no doubt.

Very interesting helmet Frank. Perhaps more evidence that helmets of the time actually provided very little protection, unless perhaps from heatstroke.

Great example Frank! Everybody needs at least one battle damaged helmet in their collection. That decal is really nice and especially interesting with the little misapplication on the right side.
Cheers,

I don't think the primary purpose of the steel helmet was to stop bullets, I think it was to protect a much as possible from shrapnel. Most war wounds, as I understand it, weren't from bullets. Rather, most wounds were the result of artillery, mortar, bomb and grenade blasts. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that I read that somewhere. Jim G.
