Did germans have special helmets for a tank crew? Well, yes. The guy on the right is wearing a tank helmet. But as you can see it's hard to add the headphones to such helmet (not mentioning the helmet itself looking... ugly), so germans ended up wearing a headset on top of a standard garrison hat, like the one you see on the guy on the left side of the picture.
The guy in the middle is a soviet tankman wearing iconic soviet tank helmet. Why those guys are together on the same photo? It's September 22, 1939. Nazys and Commies are best friends. They just had split Poland and have a parade together in Brest - at the new Germany-USSR "border". Don't forget about this page of the history.
