WWII German M-1942 DAK Helmet -
This is a German military helmet. As issued during World War Two.
The German Afrika Korps (Deutsches Afrikakorps, DAK) was the German expeditionary force in Libya
and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The force was kept as a distinct
formation and became the main German contribution to Panzer Army Africa which evolved into the
German-Italian Panzer Army (Deutsch-Italienische Panzerarmee) and Army Group Africa.
The helmet featured here is a DAK helmet. M-1942 style. The shell retains most of the original
paint, which is a very interesting combination of yellow and khaki. Single Army eagle decal
applied to one side.
The liner is present. Consisting of eight tabs pointing towards the crown. A string would be
employed to secure them together. The string is not present in this case. A brown leather chin
strap is draped across the front lip.
