At last I've found on the web the photo refrence for those nice "beute" decals that Emhar brings with their 1/72 Mk.IV tank. According to the caption: "Freikorps utilize a captured British Mk IV tank to put down the Spartacist Uprising, Berlin, 1919"
note the visor-less helmets on the troops. IIRC these were destined for Turkish troops.

Some say it was designed for Turkish troops; some say it was designed for snipers.
Well .... as far as I know, it is more possible that this helmet was designed as a new Modell, which should replace the well known M16/M18. This helmet gave the soldier a much better sight and a much better possability to aim when prone.
