The History Of The German Steel Helmet 1916-1945 (2001) By Ludwig Baer
 
The standard work in English on the German steel helmet by the writer Ludwig Baer. In 448 pages all different types are discussed with a lot of photos. A book that should not be missing from a (starting) collector of helmets.
 
This is the 3rd edition from 2001.
 
Published in the 1980's this book is considered by many collectors as the definitive work (or classic "bible") for all information on the subject of German steel helmets.  Printed by Bender Publishing, the book's text and photographs cover the entire history of the German helmet from inception to the last version prototyped in 1944.  The author is a noted German historian who has researched more than 80% of what is known about German helmets.
 
Although the Second Edition was released in 2001, much to the surprise of the collecting community the publisher reprinted the book without changing or updating the text or photographs.
