WW1 Brodie?

I have in my possession this helmet pictured.

I’m not entirely sure from what era it is, either WW1 or WW2. Stamped on the rim is:

II.V
340

And under the liner is a faded red stamp.

What type is it and what are they worth?

Question Advanced School for Navy Air Defense

The Высшее училища ПВО ВМФ (Advanced School for Navy Air Defense) was first located, rather unfortunately, at Liepaja (Либаве/Libau) in Latvia.
It was reconstituted in late summer 1941 at Стрельна (Strelna, near Leningrad) and then evacuated to Энгельс (Engels, in Saratov region).

Does anyone know of any illustrations of the students ? Or, more specifically, have any information about their cap ribbons (ленточки)?

Thank you very much, in advance, for any assistance!

AUSCHWITZ SS id tag

What do you all think of this one, i think it might be a made up fantasy piece, but i could be wrong, and if so what would the value on it be.

Thanks
Brian

Question 2 Kriegsmarine Cap Talleys: Info Needed

Hi, all. I just picked up these two Kriegsmarine cap talleys at auction and was looking for a little help with them. I believe them to both be original pieces but I would appreciate if anyone can confirm this for me. I know these are not the best pictures and I will post more when time permits.
I have researched the first one, however I know only that the 2nd is for a Destroyer based on the translation. Can anyone give me more info on either of these or what they are worth (I haven't been able to find other examples for sale to compare with for price.)

Thanks,
Adam
