Book of the Month: January 2025 The Austrian M1 Steel Helmet

This Month's read is: The Austrian M1 Steel Helmet

Written by Olivier C. Dorrell, it is one of the most in-depth books, if not the most in-depth book, about one specific helmet I have read. Solely focusing on the Austrian M1, it is an excellent source of information and extremely precise regarding every detail of the helmet, from the backstory of the "older brother" American M1 helmet to the Austrian version. 

The book also covers variants of the M1 pot, I particularly enjoyed the segment regarding the parachutist helmet and the "pea dot" camouflage cover variety.
