Review (PDF) Stahlhelm :Evolution Of The German Steel Helmet
Perhaps the most easily recognized military helmet of the 20th century is the German Stahlhel. In the revised and expanded edition of this classic, Floyd R. Tubbs and Robert w. Clawson identify and classify the Stahlhelm and relate its history, designs, features, and uses.No single nation has produced such a wide variety of helmets as did Germany in the early part of the last century, from civil defense to fire and police forces to airborne forces. Though based on the same concept, each model, design, and variation was constructed with a specific purpose, with the shapes for the helmets differing, the metals occuring in various weights, and the strengths and qualities and the liners being unique to each category.As the only book on the German combat helmet currently in print, this edition, with its detailed drawings and illustrative photographs, will appeal to the collector as well as the military historian.

The first book I have read on the subject so far. I have only recently started collecting German helmets again and wanted to get some information on the subject. Overall the book is very good but it really requires colour photographs. A section on the various decals, once again in colour would have been useful. I did feel that the post war (1945) section was a bit sparse and could have been a bit more detailed. If space was an issue then maybe sections dealing with history in general could have been deleted. This is still a good book and I would recommend it.
Good quick history. Hits the high points. Would have liked more detail and left questions, but overall gives a good broad-brush history of the Stahlhelm. And the author appreciates the helmet's significance as well.
