~ History ~
The M42 EF60 German helmet is a World War II-era military helmet used by the German armed forces. The “EF” refers to the manufacturer’s code, indicating that this helmet was produced by the Emaillierwerk AG Fulda factory. The number “60” denotes the shell size, which is designed to fit head sizes up to 60 centimeters in circumference.
The helmet’s iconic silhouette, with its flared edge and deep bowl shape, was designed to offer improved protection from shrapnel and gunfire for soldiers on the battlefield. The exterior would typically be finished in a field-grey paint, often with texture added to reduce reflectivity. Inside, it would be fitted with a leather liner and a chinstrap to secure the helmet to the wearer’s head.
