Summary edit

Description
English: Crash helmet for National Socialist Motor Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, abbr. NSKK), a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) from 1931 until the fall of Nazi Germany in 1945.

The second pattern padded crash helmet (Sturzhelm) in painted black leather had a small visor, chin strap and neck flaps. It was worn while driving an open-topped car or a motorbike, at parades, ceremonies and rallies. The helmet type was originally used by pilots in World War I, adopted by the Motor SA circa 1928 and later by the NSKK with the addition of a large metal swastika-and-eagle insignia and NSKK banner.

The paramilitary ranks and insignia of the Motor Corps were based closely on the system of the Sturmabteilung (SA), of which the NSKK was originally a part. The uniform of SA member was principally a brown shirt, a Swastika armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde) and a Kepi cap (Schaftmütze).
