SS Helmets - The History, Use and Decoration of the
Helmets of the Black Corps
This new book, by noted SS and helmet scholars Mike Beaver and
Kelly Hicks, presents the combat and parade helmets worn by the SS from its
earliest days to the end of wartime production. The examples shown are genuine
artifacts of the Third Reich, and most are shown here for the first time. Some
of the finest collections and sources globally have been solicited in the
construction of this book. The value of these SS helmet resources from the
world over cannot be overstated in terms of their contribution toward
collector knowledge – as well as the safety and survivability of this
historical hobby. The photographic selection, and excellent quality of
photo-representation, brings to life the heraldry and visual impact of these
iconic objects. The reader will not only understand and become well versed in
the recognized variations of SS helmets, but will also have a feel for the
historical context in which they were used. Includes over 300 large
format color and black and white photographs. 200 pages.
