Dug out in Kurland. Dug out in trenches on positions of 16. Armee, found without soldier. The helmet still has remains of winter camo, original liner was taken out during cleaning but it is still included in the set. Seems to be heavily damaged by artillery blast. Dug from ground, lightly cleaned. Can be left as it is, or cleaned further, but I love how it looks as it is. Extremely hard to read, can’t even make a photo, but under thick paint is marking ET66, which stands for Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale, shell size 66, which fits head size 58-59, in this case it was 58 size liner. The liner still has one of the chinstraps with buckle still present. Great item, will look great in any WW2 collection. Found on a battlefield south of Frauenburg (Saldus). Scroll down to see better photos. Like the previous days the major attack on 23 December took place south of Frauenburg where the 4th Assault Army with 119, 360, 357, 378, 145, 239, 306, 164 and 158 Rifle Divisions stormed against the HKL of 18th Army on both sides of Pampali. The frontline defended by 16th Army was attacked by the 10 Guard Army with 56, 65, 53, 85, 30, 29, 119 Rifle divisions and 7 Guard division and the 42 Army with 2, 268, 256 and 48 Rifle Divisions. The German soldiers defended themselves fuious against this numerical much stronger enemy and was able to hold their lines. The 205 Infantrie-Division repulsed the attack of three Rifle Divisions. The 16th Army along with the 18th Army was cut off in the Courland Peninsula when the Soviets launched their summer and autumn offensives of 1944. It stayed trapped there until the end of the war. After the war, 250,000 German troops trapped in the Courland Pocket were marched into captivity, many were never heard from again. Check my other auctions! All my items are 100% ORIGINAL!

Original WW2 German M35 Stahlhelm: Steel Helmet Size 66 (ET66 4713). Listed is an original WW2 German M35 Steel Helmet in a rare large size! The helmet has been expertly repainted by me! (The helmet had it’s original paint removed by whoever was one of the previous owners at some point, and I had received it with no paint at all). I repainted it using the best paint available on the market (Dark Field Gray from 1944Militaria). It was produced right around when the M40 helmet was introduced and as such was in some of the last batches of M35 helmets produced, which is why it only had one decal and painted a darker field gray colour, but had no rough texturing applied at the factory yet. The helmet shell is almost complete, it only needs a decal, and an appropriate liner and it is good to go for re-enactment or collection. For reference the code in the book is decoded as follows: “Single Decal Heer 40 (as in the year of manufacture) Riveted Aluminum Band (referring to the liner used) Dark Parade Finish Light Green Block Scripted ET Decal”. The helmet is in excellent condition but has light pitting in some spots. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\WW II (1939-45)\Original Period Items\Germany\Hats & Helmets”. The seller is “daniltch-0″ and is located in this country: CA. This item can be shipped worldwide.
