Who is the manufacturer...

[Willi Z.]

...of this liner?

[Ben]

Don't know who Willi but I have the same maker in one of my helmets.
Mine is in small (smaller than "normal") fonts

I bet it was made in occupied Poland !

Steve?

Steve?

.....because 0/1305/0249 is in Litzmannstadt. Just figured the last 2 digits represented the different factories.

Thanks Steve.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Just like the RF.Nr liners.

I agree Steve. That is what I was thinking.

Ben, yes the font is smaller than usual. This is the first liner I have seen with this RBNr.

Here's another one.
Certainly one of the lesser known manufacturers.

That makes this liner a sombre piece, as it was made in the jewish ghetto. The Lodz ghetto was the longest "surviving" ghetto in occupied poland, as it housed many factories that produced for the Wehrmacht. For further info i recommend The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto, 1941-1944 (Paperback) by Lucjan Dobroszycki. Based on a day-by-day account found after the war hidden in a well "The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto", as a reviewer has put it, "tears at the mind and heart and leaves a dark and numbing rage in the center of the soul."
