Another rare Soviet Helmet

СШ-40, по дате, когда он планировался к передаче в войска, однако фактически первые поставки шлемов СШ-40 был произведены в1939 году. Силуэт русского солдата в шлеме СШ-40 стал образом воина-победителя на многие годы.

Espenlaub,

That was simply a translation of a link provided by another member... I posted it so that non-Russian speaking members could understand the info it contained. I do not make any claim that the information is good or bad, I just post it in English for everyone. You may be correct and it is all junk information.
