SS Helmets Volume 2 (WWII Germany) by Kelly Hicks

Table of Contents

SS helmets continue to attract many collectors who desire to own one of the most heraldic pieces of militaria of any war or period. SS helmets are truly unique as they represent, better than any other single artifact, the Pan-European movement as dreamed of by Germany s WWII leadership. Because of their desirability, perhaps more than their rarity, collecting SS helmets remains a challenging and sometimes difficult hobby. The greatest difficulty of course is to locate original examples, which are becoming harder to find. With their scarcity comes increased prices, and with increased prices comes counterfeiting.

In the relentless attempt to educate collectors away from the pitfalls, this book is offered as a follow-on and supplement to "SS Helmets" Volume One. In this piece, improvements have been made in presenting the materials and information, focusing on imaging as an educational tool. Hopefully this will complement and supplement volume one, and provide the basis for increased knowledge for old and new collectors alike.
