A strange looking but strangely effective steel helmet hailing for East Germany - the M56 helmet is the evolution of the M38 and M42 WW2 German steel helmets. It is a lighter, sleeker design meant to deflect shrapnel and either slow, long range rifle bullets or pistol bullets. By having exaggerated slopes and angles, it loses coverage area you might get in a less dramatically shaped helmet.
Adjustable one size fits most liner.
