Does anyone know if there is a decent book dedicated to chin straps? Or a book that has a meaty section on them???

Ken N’s excellent book just touches on the topic unfortunately.

I really struggle with this component of the German helmet (and decals as well, but that is another story…)

Thanks,

M

The Order of Saint Nicholas Thaumaturgus was instituted during the Russian Civil War on April 30, 1920, by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian White Army, General Wrangel, to replace the highest military award of the Russian Empire, the Order of St. George. St. Nicholas was considered the patron saint of the White Army.
