M42 Kriegsmarine Helmet

[Ben@HI]

I found this a while back and kept it as I don't have any other German helmets anymore. is there anyway to research the name?

From what I've been told, the Bundesarkiv might have some records. I've triesd writing them (auf Deutsch) and haven't received a reply. Think the best bet might be to find a German researcher that goes to Freiburg. Might be pricey. There are those on here who probably know a lot more about this than I do.

A request for a research should be addressed to the Bundesarchiv/Deutsche Dienststelle (WAst) with this form:

 

https://www.bundesarchiv.de/DE/Content/Downloads/Benutzen/antrag-persbez-recherche-militaer.pdf?__blob=publicationFile

 

Last name, first name, date and place of birth of the soldier are mandatory. As far as I know the information costs about 20 - 30 Euro. If you need help with the translation let me know.
