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.
