lambert Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 yes, I'm sure "The M1916 design had side-mounted horn-like ventilator lugs which were intended to be support for an additional steel brow plate or Stirnpanzer, which only ever saw limited use by snipers and trench raiding parties, as it was too heavy for general use."
