A Russian Gsh-6 high altitude helmet as a presentation piece

[Gordon Craig]

Ladies and Gentlemen.

 

This thread concerns the prize of my Russian/East German flight helmets.  Since East Germany flew Russian aircraft I have collected several different types of Russian helmets that East German pilots would have worn.  This presentation piece, given to a member of the East German Central Committee, has an inscription on it plus badges from the units presenting the helmet.  An English translation of the Russian presentation script reads;

 

To Comrade Werner Felfe  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Felfe Member of the Central Committee of * SEPG From the airmen of the Guards Red Banner Minsk Division.   * S E  P G = The United Socialist Party of Germany.  You will recognize the two emblems on the side of the helmet.

 

Regards,

 

Gordon
