Original Wwii Army

Helmet SSh-36 or a "khalkhingolka" model 1936 (professional restoration), comforter and replica strap (not original). A steel helmet of the model of 1936 SSh-36 or a "khalkhingolka" or "khasanka" helmet was adopted by the Red Army in 1936. Sometimes the helmet is called "Eared". Budyonny influenced its design: to protect the fighter from sabers, wide ear fields were provided to deflect the blow to the side. Thus began a four-month full-scale war for Soviet Mongolia. More than 100,000 soldiers participated in the conflict on both sides. And the name "Khalkhingolka" was received precisely during this war, when all Soviet troops were dressed in SSh-36 in the border area of the Khalkhin-Gola river. After the baptism of fire in the area of the Khalkhin-Gola river, SSh-36 had to experience the Finnish frosts during the Winter War and the capture of Western Ukraine and Belarus. The Halhingolka was the main helmet before the start of World War II and was supposed to replace the outdated Adrian M1916 and Sohlberg M17 helmets. SSh-36 became the first domestic helmet, which began to be mass-produced for the needs of the army. The weight depended on the size, there were 4 sizes of helmets and 8 sizes of comforters (from 53 to 60). The liner was borrowed from the Schwartz M-30 helmet, which was not adopted for service. The liner was made of fabric with an adjustable drawstring. Inside the liner, there were aluminum strips that served as shock-absorbing functions and provided additional ventilation. With the help of three rivets, the helmet was attached to the comforter in the area of the aluminum tape. The chin strap for the helmet was made of leather or fabric, and their length was adjusted using square buckles. There is a small ridge on the top of the helmet, under which there is an air vent. SSh-36 "halhingolka" was painted dark green.
