SS STEELby Kelly Hicks. The central issue regarding SShelmets is the huge number of fakes. SS Steelis intended to assist the collector in determin-ing the fakes from the real thing. It providesinformation specific to their paint, decals andgeneral characteristics. During full-scale produc-tion of the M-35 series of helmets, each of thefive German helmet makers installed their ownpattern of SS decal on helmets at the factory.This trend is evident in about 90 percent of M-35 specimens analyzed; 96 percent of M-40 andM-42 helmets. Examples of dozens of originalhelmets show clear evidence of this maker-to-decal correlation. For the first time, this rela-tionship has been analyzed and presented. Itwill thwart the counterfeiters on a fundamen-tal level. In addition to decal analysis, SS Steelexplores the reuse and reissue of helmets, dueto supply shortages and other factors. Varia-tions, unusual and rare helmets, and foreignvolunteer SS helmets are also explored. Severalhelmets are presented with their documentedhistory, showing how research can be con-ducted on helmets that bear the name of theirformer SS owner. A must-have book for seriouscollectors of helmets of Germany’s Third Reichelite.

Victory of Faith (Sieg Des Glaubens) DVD.Found after 70 years, Leni Riefenstahl’s Victoryof Faith, is again available. A key work in theevolution of Nazi propaganda, Victory of Faithprovides an ambitious record of the 1933 NaziParty rally at Nuremberg. Released in early1934, the film was enthusiastically promotedby the Nazi Party in presenting itself to theGerman people. Later that same year, however,Hitler oversaw a bloody purge of many of his“old comrades,” notably Brownshirt leaderErnst Röhm, whose leading role at the 1933rally – second only to Hitler – figures promi-nently in Riefenstahl’s film. Overnight, Röhmbecame persona non grata, and all referencesto him were obliterated from the public record.The thousands of prints of Victory of Faith incirculation across Germany were tracked downand destroyed and nobody was able to see thislandmark film. Until now: a copy of Victory ofFaith, lying unnoticed in Great Britain sinceRiefenstahl visited there in early 1934, has sur-faced, providing what appears to be a com-plete version. Though far from her masterwork,the film offers a fascinating first draft of the ideasand techniques Riefenstahl would pull off sopowerfully one year later in Triumph of the Will.Germany, 1934, B&W, 70 minutes, Germanwith English subtitles.
