alot of countries like that style. the soviets and soviet sattelite/mid east may use the more saucer like soviet helmet.
Not true...while NATO related countries use the "Fritz" a WarPact used so many different patterns like the italian m36 or the hungarian and slovak "para" helmet that inspired the german "fallschirmjager" one.
Now russians use the SSN94 Sphere ans the SSN m25 (odd patern looks like their tanking helmets but with full titanium protection).
Still the US m40 "Steel pot" was better than the german but was also heavier.
It had two layers of steel being thus a nightmare for the neck.
