FJ helmet leathermarkings help !

[DeMil]

Hi.

I have a FJ helmet that comes from Norway. Taken in Oslo in May 1945.
On the leather it is marked:

Sdf. (Z)
Hallen (FJ`s name)

Can anyone help me with the Sdf. (Z) markings?

Thanks.

The name is: Haller

perhaps if you take another picture the top could be better deciphered.

Hi Hardy.

Yes when I look at the liner in the correct ligth, I can read Haller.
And I am quite sure the other is Sdf. (Z).

It could stand for Sonderführer (Z) Haller.

Probably a translater (Dolmetscher) attached to the Fallschirmjäger.

Sonderführer (Z) = a position normally held by a Leutnant.

(Z) for Zugführer, Hilfsarzt, Dolmetscher Z, Sonderführer Z.

Hi Hardy.

Yes interesting what you have found out and interesting that my helmet could have been used by a Leutnant.

"Fallschirmjäger und Sonderführer (Z) Haller".
