WW2 German Helmet Liner

WW2 German Helmet Liner

These reproduction helmet liners have a leather lining with a drawstring which allows for some adjustment for head shape. The outer metal band has the correct date and size stamps. The liner also comes complete with a leather chin strap.

These are the liners we use in our German WW2 'Stahlhelm' helmets and are available in the according sizes.

Please note that German helmet shells will require a specific liner which will be compatible to the shell size. To find your shell size search for a stamp inside that says "ET.." i.e. "ET68" (for a 68cm shell). Alternatively you can measure around the outside of the shell (going over the rivets).

Here is a chart which shows which liners are compatible with which shell sizes:

Shell Size / Liner Size

60 cm / 52-53 cm
62 cm / 54-55 cm
64 cm / 56-57 cm
66 cm / 58-59 cm
68 cm / 60-61 cm
70 cm / 62-63 cm

Please note: There is a degree of variation in the colour of the fabric layer between the leather and metal, which ranges from bottle green to light tan. However, all the leather and metal is of consistent quality.

Please also note: These fit the M35, M40 & M42 Helmets, NOT the M38
