M16 model production ceased long before the WW2 began, however sometimes while digging in Stalingrad our team finds M16 and M18 models, which means that some German soldiers prefered old versions of “Shahlhelm” at the battle. So in 1918 a small edition of M18 helmets with edges cut out for the ears were produced. Due to the fact that a helmet almost completely covered soldier’s ears, the latest complaned about low audibility while wearing a helmet.
Like M17, a new modification wasn’t very different from its predecessor, except for a clearer passing from a dome to a back skirt. In 1918 German industry began to produce a helmet with an M18 marking. Due to the lack of leather supply a helmet liner was attached to with a metal band. Stahlhelm M16 had a thick leather helmet liner, consisting of three segments and attaching to a helmet with a leather band. The plate provided bullet-proof of the forehead of a soldier from a distance of 50 meters, but due to its heavy weight it was rarely used, It was attached to a helmet by a leather sling. A headrest plate weighted 2,5 kilos and was 4 mm thick. M16 has a recognizable form - it has a large peak and a neck- flap, also there were so called “horns” on the side of the helmet, whoch served for ventilation and fixing a protective armor plate.
M16 was made of a solid steel sheet with a forged method. Model M16, as its marking says, started being produced in the 3 rd Reich in 1916 and was actively used by the Germans in WW1. In this article we will talk about German helmets of the WW2 period.
