Helmet is complete with its original liner system and unusual two piece brown leather chinstrap. Hemet shows some wear but generally a good example. The Bata shoe company was formed in 1894 by the Bata family in Austro-Hungary, now Czech Republic. During WW1 the company profited from the Austro-Hungarian and German war machine. Being major producers of footwear for the armed forces. After WW1 and the formation of Czechoslovakia the company struggled. The company made drastic moves and as a result the company started to flourish, whilst its competitors had to close their factories. In the late 1920’s and 1930’s the company expanded into other European nations including Great Britain. Just before the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, Bata, helped his Jewish workers escape to work in his factories in other European countries. In 1939 the company head, Jan Antonio Bata, emigrated to the USA. Bata did business with the axis powers and as such was tried by the Czechs in his absence after WW2 for his actions, at this time he had moved to Brazil. The Bata company had a factory in the German concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau which used forced labour from the camps. It would appear that the company also did business with the allies through its factories in Great Britain and the USA. Which is where this helmet would have been worn.
