AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian tropical helmet, from the 1940s/1950s
This type of tropical helmets was also worn in Abyssinia (Ethiopia) 1935-1936
Under Emperor Haile Selassie
Because the war did not advance smoothly, Adolf Hitler conscripted troops from the army and the Luftwaffe.
Lacking their own tropical gear, the Deutsche Afrika Korps around 1941 also wore such a helmet, but with two badges on the sides of the tropical helmet.
On one side the eagle with the swastika, the other side red, white, black shield.
These were metal shields; this tropical helmet is without such shields.
Size 57
In nice used condition
