    The SS helmet cover

    The SS combat man wore an iconic camouflage helmet cover that served from its design concept in 1936 to final year of issue in 1945 a 9 year period, and thats not including is post war use by various arms.
    Its multi piece design with metal clips went through several minor changes with a full host of camouflage patterns designed by Schick.
    As the war progressed the cover gained cammo looks and different types of clips and rougher sewing.
    I will attempt to show these covers as the war progressed.
    Please feel free to add in the sprit of the thread.

                              Due to sewing shortcomings see the block print company sewing repaired the peaks like this.
