Re: WW I german heavy howitzer artillerymen and their helmets

Yes but remember that the helmet should be covered which makes the ball look rather more like short blunt spike.. helmet covers are normal practice except for parade, the feldmutze with almost no other kit often not even belts generally being worn when operating the gun in field conditions... its heavy work... with the picklehaub with cover generally being worn with the rest of kit on the march...

the pic above is the only one for this type of artillery I could find from several hundred that I looked at mostly from albums, that actually had a guy with a picklehaub... he may be an officer.. but Im sure now many more will turn up...

Best Regards

Re: WW I german heavy howitzer artillerymen and their helmets

I am convinced you are right about the headgear. Maybe I should now admit I would like to use the Strelets figures to crew field artillery pieces.

Re: WW I german heavy howitzer artillerymen and their helmets

Ahh thats what I thought however Strelets may do other german artillery sets... perhaps they will do a set of early war field artillery in picklehaubs, goodness knows theres enough artillery pieces to choose from....
