This item is a toy helmet accessory for a minifigure. It is a detailed replica of a German M40 Stahlhelm (steel helmet), which was a standard issue model for German forces during the middle period of World War II.
The helmet is specifically decorated to represent one worn by a soldier of the Waffen-SS, the combat branch of the Nazi Party’s Schutzstaffel.
This identity is confirmed by the decal printed on the side of the helmet, which is explicitly pointed out in the image:
- The decal is a black shield containing a pair of silver Sig runes. This was the official and unmistakable symbol of the SS.
- Historically, this SS rune decal was worn on the right side of the helmet. For a period, the other side would have carried a swastika decal, but this was ordered to be removed from helmets after 1940, making this single-decal version a very common sight for the Waffen-SS during the height of the war.
This accessory is designed to create a historically specific and accurate German Waffen-SS soldier from the WWII era.
