Mannie Gentile: Combat Helmets of the 20th Century

Meant primarially for beginners and experienced novices (like myself) this blog is an informal, sometimes satiric, exploration of the steel combat helmet and its role in identifying, inspiring, and protecting the G.I.s of various nations over the past 100 years. This is the book I thought I'd like to write but with a longer shelf-life, no editors, publishers, or art directors; just me and you. copyright 2024, Mannie Gentile

The new helmet gallery

A formerly underutilized room has been, over the past four days, transformed into...

my American helmet gallery.

Helmets from other nations still reside in the next room as they have for about a year now. At this point all but three of my 152 helmets are out on display.

I hope, in this new space, to produce another helmet Youtube focusing on the M1 helmet. I'll be sure to post the link to it on this blog. But that, like so many other things, remains in the misty future.
