Hi all,
I don't post here very much, one would normally find me on the German Democratic Republic forum. So a quick introduction, I'm Johelmet and I'm interested in GDR, WW2 Malaya and Singapore, and steel helmets.
Well, I've been noticing that the different steel helmets of the Warsaw Pact seem to have different grades of steel and protection quality. I know that the M56 East German helmet is considered the best steel helmet, from a number of sources. However, I'm curious as to how the other Warsaw Pact helmets stood up against each other. Which ones were better than their neighbours in terms of quality and protection?
I hope this isn't too big of a question, and good to meet you all!
