Reddick Publishing has finally released the long-anticipated collaboration between Tom Kibler and Bob Iqbal. "Combat Helmets of the Third Reich Vol. II" presents 31 never previously published combat helmets of the Army and Luftwaffe through a series of 307 highly-detailed full-color photographs of common, rare and exotic steel helmets supplied to Third Reich Germany's Wehrmacht. Characteristics specific to the individual makers are demonstrated along with examples of non-standard reissues. Camos, covers, nets and wires, of course, are also included. A 16-page gallery presents 63 decals which display the many subtle variations of insignia typically associated with specific manufacturers. The very important details such as chinstrap markings, liner details and shell stampings are also demonstrated to aid in the recognition of what should be expected in a 'proper' Third Reich combat helmet. Many of our own Forum members gratiously contributed photos of their world-class items to help make this book well worth the wait.
My copy is already on order - can't wait to see it.
Many thanks to Tom Kibler and Bob Iqbal for their hard work and sacrifice to bring us this much-needed reference. Great work, guys.
