Yes, some were cast with German helmets, such as the charging and kneeling riflemen. Some castings appear to have been doughboys painted in gray, perhaps to represent the "enemy." I also found some painted blue a while back--perhaps to represent the French?

VNAMVET70 Posted March 7, 2023 #205 Posted March 7, 2023 Here's a few toys from WW2. The Zepplin is a coin bank. The brown toys are made out of rubber because metal was needed for the war effort.
wartimecollectables.com Posted March 9, 2023 #207 Posted March 9, 2023 Lots of neat wooden toys were made during WWII, metal was rationed. Great stuff!
