Perhaps the best reference yet written on the overall subject of the Third Reich steel helmet. Details and heretofore little known facts are presented in a chronological order through the examination of scores of the finest original examples. The reader will come away with a better understanding of the production, adornment and period modification in design of the combat helmets of Hitler's armed forces.

“...a superbly researched and authoritative work on German helmets--arguably the new standard for all authors on the subject." - Kelly Hicks
