Kriegsmarine KM Helmet photo.

[Martin W]

I have been looking for a good portrait that shows the KM helmet in wear for a long time and they are hard to find.

I finally managed to pick up this nice image of a member of the Coastal Artillery wearing an M40.

Anyone else have a portrait with the KM helmet in wear ?

Regards,Martin.

Hi Martin,

Great portrait!

Here's a photo of my Dad (in the centre) during basic training in 1936 in Stralsund in the field grey uniforms with helmets. Notice their uniforms didn't have the national eagle on them.

Best regards,

---Norm

Perhaps more importantly- WHAT is the solid colored second medal ribbon on that mans' ribbon bar?
