| rdfs:comment | - The Stahlhelm was the standard helmet used by Germany during the First and Second World Wars. The first production model of the Stahlhelm was the M1916 which featured a solid steel construction and side ports for additional protection. Inside the helmet was also a leather strap and leather padding for comfort. The helmet proved to be quite a reliable design and showed great promise with German troops. However, the helmet was slightly more expensive to mass-produce than Allied counterparts when it was introduced.

| abstract | - The Stahlhelm was the standard helmet used by Germany during the First and Second World Wars. The first production model of the Stahlhelm was the M1916 which featured a solid steel construction and side ports for additional protection. Inside the helmet was also a leather strap and leather padding for comfort. The helmet proved to be quite a reliable design and showed great promise with German troops. However, the helmet was slightly more expensive to mass-produce than Allied counterparts when it was introduced. On the sides of all early Stahlhelms were several decals depicting the branch of service the helmet was given to and the national colors of red, white, and black in a shield or the national flag in a shield if given to the SS. An eagle in flight holding a swastika depicted the Luftwaffe, an eagle at rest holding a swastika depicted the Wehrmacht, two lightning bolts were for the SS, and the Kriegsmarine had the same as the Wehrmacht except that the Eagle was gold colored.
