Talk:Stahlhelm

message: In the introduction it says that the Stahlhelm was capable of turning direct hits from 9mm bullets and buckshot, sometimes without damage to the helmet. I think this is doubtful at best. A steel helmet may certainly turn a glancing blow, or stop shrapnel, but direct buckshot or pistol bullets? This claim absolutely needs a citation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.181.138 (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: 9mm proof?

message: The "Personnel Armour System for Ground Troops" (PASGT) helmet is modern version of the Stahlhelm. The shape of PASGT helmet is very similar to the Wehrmacht Stahlhelm used by the Heer during Word War 2. Some soldiers have nicked-named it the "Fritz" helmet for it's resemblance to the German Helmet of WWII. The PASGT helmet is made primarily from kevlar instead of steel.

replies: text: The current US helmet indeed bares a canny resemblance to the Stahlhelm. Any reason then why it isn't in the list of countries that  used (or in this case: are using) a Stahlhelm-type helmet?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.210.2.136 (talk) 00:08, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Well. There is a photo of the Chilean Honor Guard wearing "German Style" helmets in the article but one can see from the photo, they're not made of steel. Looks like fiberglass. So... Anyway. I think, at this time, the question needs to be asked regarding the PASGT; is this a "German Style" helmet, or even justifiable to be classified as one just because there's a skirt and extended ear protection? Hmmmmm. --XB70Valyrie (talk) 00:53, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The PASGT resembles a Stahlhelm, but that doesn't make it a Stahlhelm.  Two objects designed for the same purpose will likely end up looking a little similar, even though the Stahlhelm has more of a true skirt over the ears and neck, while the PASGT has what could also be described as flaps over the ears, like a baseball helmet, and the rear skirt isn't nearly flared as much.

thread_title:  ''Spain also received shipments of the helmet.'' 

message: The new text added by User 71.102.122.174 introduces a subject far more complex than touched on so far. Virtually every German military and naval service and every political organization applied its own decals to the M1935/40, so the subject of Stahlhelm decals  requires far more than the couple of sentences inserted thus far. Anyone up for creating a new paragraph or section that deals with Stahlhelm insignia, thereby properly covering this complex subject? Jack Bethune 02:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Stahlhelm decals

message: After the war, the German Bundeswehr continued to call their standard helmet Stahlhelm, but the design was based on the American M1 helmet. The Bundesgrenzschutz, however, continued to use the original German design, until either troop switched to the new M92 Aramid helmet.[clarification needed][1]

From [] it appears that BGS switched to that model in the mid 90s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naor (talk • contribs) 20:22, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Parody 

message: Only the earliest versions of the Fallschirmjäger helmet were actual, customized modifications of existing M1935 helmets. By far, the majority of issued Fallschirmjäger helmets had nothing "removed."  Instead, they were designed and manufactured in an original form that was "lacking" the extended features of the standard helmet, so the paragraph is correctly worded as is.

thread_title:  Question about the NRA soldier 

message: As part of the m51 uniform regulation the Norwegian army adopted the german stahlhelm. When germany capitulated there were several hundred thousand german soldiers in Norway. When they were shipped back to germany, they left behind most of their weaponry and equipment to the Norwegian Army. In the fifties the Norwgian Army adopted the US m43 uniform as m51 and started using all types of german helmets, m16, m35, m40 and m42. The helmets were given a new paint job and two norwegian lion decals. In the sixties the army adopted the US style Nato helmet and passed on the german helmets to the home guard (heimevernet) who used them until the nineties. Some helmets were also given to the industrial air defence (industrivern). They were painted yellow and given a new liner.
