My favorote,I wore one in the Estonian Defense Forces Army in 1995-97. It is considered by many to be overall one of the best Steel Combat Helmets ever made. Before the Wall fell a DDR M56/76 Helmet sold for an avarage of $400.00 to collectors. I have personasly been told by former East German Border Guards that l, the DDR- E. German government did experiment with a Kevlar version of this same M56 shape however due to cost prohibitions they were not produced.
