The table of contents shows lot number listings and notes for each helmet factory.

NO new period or factory documentation was used in the creation of this book. Lot number information was gathered over several years time and compiled. The listings are arranged according to maker, model, lot number, and series. Notes after the factory listings are based on the author's examination and opinions of the listings.

German helmet lot number research is in its infancy and ongoing. This research project is largely incomplete as it stands with much more information yet to be acquired. Many lot numbers, shell sizes and factory configurations are missing. This research project should be seen as a step forward in lot number research and not the final word on the subject.

The placement of dates and events in the lot number listings are the author's estimations. Notes and comments are the author's speculation.
