| Quick ID Charts are
designed to provide web visitors with a basic visual guide to assist
in identifying a helmet's model or type. Identification of a
German helmet's overall model (or configuration) is key to
associating the helmet's actual use with a given military or
political organization. Specific information on any helmet is
best derived from one of the many Information Tracks which outline
detailed facts pertaining to the helmets illustrated.
Visitors to German-Helmets.com are
often seeking information to help identify a helmet's
heritage. The visual illustrations in the Quick ID Charts
provide an overall starting place. Visitors should remember
that there were many different uses for a helmet during the time of
the Third Reich. One can not make an accurate assessment of
actual use simply based on the helmet model alone. Factors
that yield a helmet's intended use are generally related to its
paint color, helmet insignia (if any), and various markings
contained in the helmet.
Visitors seeking information on
obtaining an accurate assessment of a helmet's style, to include a
value appraisal or purchase offer, should contact the webmaster for
further information.
