"Hptm H Eckel " Maked German Helmet

[Geb]

Gentlemen

Here is a helmet I have had since 1993.

This is what I know about it:

Army M40 Pattern, Single Decal
size 64/57
1941 band
Wearer Marked
Overall condition: 50% maybe?

The Question I have is ... How do I find out about this Army Captain
and if he has any living relatives or descendants?

Please steer me in the right direction and Thank You for your Time...

A solid helmet. Too bad about the liner. But displays well.

While I have never researched a soldier and the likelihood of finding a match is remote, many members here have searched using the Volksbund database (linked below). Maybe they can provide some advice.
