NEW Book: 'De Nederlandse Stalen Helm 1916-1992'

Description

NEW Reference book; "De Nederlandse Stalen Helm 1916-1992" by 'Kevin de Joode' (ISBN: 9789090317779). The metal helmet as a piece of military equipment dates back to ancient times. However, it fell into disuse in the 17th century due to changing military doctrine. During the First World War of 1914–1918, the steel helmet was reintroduced. The military leadership in neutral the Netherlands responded immediately to this and commissioned the development of its own steel helmet. This book provides an accurate description of the development, production, and use of steel helmets for the Dutch armed forces in the period from 1916 to 1992. What influence did national and international developments have on decision-making? How did the search for the ideal helmet of their own proceed? Which other non-military organizations have worn helmets? And by what details can you recognize the different helmets? A historical quest, revealed by the authors through thorough research and detailed illustrations. The book, featuring 348 pages in Dutch language is full of high quality photographs and illustrations showing the history of the Dutch Military Steel Helmet. You will receive a new copy. The must-have reference work for the (Dutch) Helmet collector!
