22 million steel M1 helmets (shells) were manufactured during WWII. The M1 helmet, more commonly referred to as the "steel pot" was used from WWII thru Korea and into the Vietnam War. In the late 1960s (1967?) the US produced 1 million more M1 helmets for the Vietnam War; these, as shown on the TV news at the time, were produced from re-cycled automobiles (scrapped cars).
