SS helmet name query

[Paul W. B]

Hi,

I was hoping somoene could help me. I have a ss m42 helmet and written on the liner is the name friedric, i know i cant really do much research based on that, but could anyone tell if this is likely to be a surname or a christian name? i thought maybe it could have been friedrick and the k had been rubbed away? any help would be much appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to look, best wishes, Paul

Almost certainly a surname and almost certainly Friedrich. And no, you've got no chance unless you have more info, like the exact date and place it was found.

Hi

To echo Simon's comments, without more information then you have no chance with this one, I am sorry to say.

I had a quick look at W-SS officers and counted 29 Friedrich's, and that is just to start with.

Thanks to you both for the replies, knowing its definately a surname is more than i had before, so thats something. Thanks again!
