The SSh-39 was a helmet that was used by the Soviet Union during WWII. It featured leather padding and cloth straps for comfort and was greatly inspired by the earlier M1936 Helmet and M1935 Stahlhelm before it. The helmet itself was made of steel. Some early examples of the SSh-39 were fitted with decals of the Red Star on the front of the helmet, though these were later removed in favor of simplicity and mass production.

  • The SSh-39 was a helmet that was used by the Soviet Union during WWII. It featured leather padding and cloth straps for comfort and was greatly inspired by the earlier M1936 Helmet and M1935 Stahlhelm before it. The helmet itself was made of steel. The design was rugged and simplistic, with very little additional features being added. The simplicity though, added to the helmet's reliability and combat effectiveness. However, with the positive effect of the helmet's reliability came the negative effect of the helmet's uncomfortability, which led to soldiers choosing to abandon their helmets in search of cloth hats. Furthermore, it was also known that most Red Army soldiers believed that it was too coward-like to wear a helmet into combat.Zaloga. J. Steven. The Red Army of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945. Osprey Publishing (1984), page 34 Some early examples of the SSh-39 were fitted with decals of the Red Star on the front of the helmet, though these were later removed in favor of simplicity and mass production.
