Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Perhaps the most easily recognized military helmet of the 20th century is the German Stahlhelm. In this revised and expanded edition, Tubbs and Clawson identify and classify the Stahlhelm and relate its history, designs, features, and uses. As the only book on the German combat helmet currently in print, this edition, with its detailed drawings and illustrative photographs, will appeal to the collector as well as the military historian.

About the Author

He published the first edition of Stahlhelm in 1971. Robert W. Clawson, emeritus associate director of the Lyman L. Lemnitzer Center for NATO Studies at Kent State University, is a member of a number of international organizations devoted to the collection and study of 20th-century militaria and has a substantial collection of unique combat helmets.

4.0 out of 5 stars stahlhelm, May 29, 2002

By	T. Taylor (Surrey UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first book I have read on the subject so far. I have only recently started collecting German helmets again and wanted to get some information on the subject. Overall the book is very good but it really requires colour photographs. A section on the various decals, once again in colour would have been useful. I did feel that the post war (1945) section was a bit sparse and could have been a bit more detailed. If space was an issue then maybe sections dealing with history in general could have been deleted. This is still a good book and I would recommend it.
