German soldiers wearing helmets with the National Colors decal. The National Colors decal is a Tri-color decal with Black, White, and Red. German helmets with decals on both sides are known as ‘Double Decal’ helmets. Some M1940’s had decals on both sides. In March of 1940, the National Colors decal was discontinued through order of the German High Command. Service decals remained on the left side of the German helmets until August of 1943.
