WW2 German M35 Helmet

The familiar steel shell is accompanied by a quality liner made from thick leather and an adjustable leather chin strap with metal buckles.

Our M35 helmets/Stahlhelm are quality helmets, that are the best reproductions on the market for the money. Made from a 1.6mm strong steel (just like the originals), they have the correct shade of field grey or feldgrau and come with leather liner and adjustable chin straps. Inside, the helmet is marked with the shell size (see table below) and manufacturer, with the example “ET-66” in the linked photo. This denotes Eisenwerke Thale, the firm responsible for the production of the helmets and the shell size of 66 which is 66cm.

M35 Helmets were mostly worn by the Heer army and were based off of the WW1 predecessor, but with a few modifications to suit the new updated image of the Wehrmacht forces. The M35s have a rolled steel edge, later economised on the M42 model.

These quality helmets are the best on the market for the money and are a must for any WW2 German impression.

The Wehrmacht (Defence Force) was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany, consisting of the Luftwaffe, Heer and Kriegsmarine. Much like the individual units, the Wehrmacht was formed in 1935 and was disbanded at the end of the Second World War. Establishing the defence force was arguably one of Hitler's most aggressive decisions, publicly breaking the Treaty of Versailles – claiming it was an embarrassment to all Germans.

During WW2 an estimated 18 million men served in the Wehrmacht with approximately 5.5 million of those dying in action.
