This book would be a good buy at $4.95 It needs to show us comparisons (side by side)of real and repos. It should show where to look for stampings and inspection marks. I was looking for more detailed info.

Found this book of great assistance in identifying the many different types of and markings on German Helmets of this era.

The book deals with the development, construction and historical significance of the various German helmets produced and used during Third Reich period between 1933 and 1945.

Although condensed in comparison to several other highly detailed monographs on the subject, I found the content exceptionally interesting and well written with enough details to please but the most discerning reader. The text is pocketed with images depicting the various types of helmets worn by the combat services and the pictures are detailed enough to discern the subtle differences between differing helmets models. Towards the center of the book are several pages that show colour plates. A small section on various decals used on the helmets is also included, as is a section on helmet liners, their construction and major differences. Of particular interest is the section dealing with camouflage and methods used to paint and weather the helmets.

I enjoyed the book and would recommend this text to anyone interested in this field. For the price, it is worthy of a place in the bookcase.
