German Helmet Liner Info

This information applies to BOTH original and replica liners.

German WWII helmets models M35, M40 and M42 come in one of seven sizes. The liners DO NOT adjust, and are not universal as are US liners. This is a source of endless confusion and consternation to collectors and re-enactors. The German sizing system is actually rather simple and very logical. Stay with me, and we will get through this together. Pay attention; there might be a test @ the end.

 The Shell

The shell is marked on the inside of the rim about one inch from the edge on the helmet’s left side, or in the back. The markings are die-stamped in small font. You may have to look very carefully.  A four digit number stamped into the back flange is the lot number, and not important for the size determination.  The markings consist of several letters and two numbers i.e. ET64. The letters are the helmet manufacture. The numbers are the interior circumference of the helmet shell in centimeters, which are as follows: 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70 & 72.

 The Liner

The liner has an outer band size and an inner band size. The outer band size corresponds to the size of the helmet shell.  The inner band size is the head size. Inner bands come in sizes 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, & 63. Each outband size can accommodate two different inner band sizes. Thus, a WWII size 66 outer band can have a 58 or a 59 inner band. The problem is that your helmet shell must have the appropriate size outer band. So, a shell size 66, must have a size 66 liner. A size 62 cannot accommodate a size 66 liner.  Many people get a "deal" on a size 62 shell and then call us demanding a liner to fit it for their size 59 head. Sorry, this won't happen. It is like fitting 20# of dog food into a 10# bag. This means, when shopping for a helmet, you must figure out what size shell will handle the liner size for your melon. The chart below will help. Our liner bands only come with one liner size due to the immense stocking and production issues.

 Non-German helmets

If you have a Spanish, post-war German or other non- WWII German helmet, and would like to try to install a WWII liner, This may be possible, but you are on your own. I would like to help, but frankly, via email or phone this is really difficult. I would recommend staring with an original shell or buying a completely restored one.

Now with all that nasty stuff out of the way, please remember you can call, and I will do my best to help.
