Edgar Estrada Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Hello everybody, I am new in this forum and I think I will enjoy all the information in here. I have some books about the KM and I have seen just one or two pictures (among hundreds of them), of KM personel using steel helmets (one of those pictures is in the book Wolf Pack by Gordon Williamson).Could you please post your pictures (if there are some of them), of KM seamen with steel helmets?Thank youEdgar
Simon Orchard Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Here you go, here's one from one of my albums. It's taken in 1944 in North Norway and shows an R-boot of the 21 R-flottille.
Edgar Estrada Posted April 20, 2006 Author Posted April 20, 2006 Thank you, I hope there will be more of them. Could you tell what model of helmet the seamen are using in the picture? I read that just the M42 was used on ships, is that true?Well I hope not because I have a M35 (I like it a lot), and I like to think that it may be used on a ship, submarine or with the costal artillery. But, anyway it was there during those dark years in our history.RegardsEdgar
Monsun Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Hi Edgar,here are one from my collection. It was taken on board of U 290.

I read that just the M42 was used on ships, is that true?no, it's not true. The guy second from right for example is wearing an M35 or 40
Edgar Estrada Posted May 7, 2006 Author Posted May 7, 2006 Thank you all. It will be fantastic to see seamen with helmets on board Tirpitz or Bismarck. Any other pictures will be welcome.Edgar
