English term or phrase: blue berets/blue helmets

Is there a difference between the UN's "blue berets" and "blue helmets"? Or are the blue helmets deployed in wartime, while blue berets are more peace-keeping forces? (and if there is a difference, what the blue berets in German?)

Eine klare Bildungslücke!
Thanks!

Es tut mir leid, Karin! Ich hab\' nicht gedacht, dass die Antwort auf Deutsch erforderlich ist. Jetzt wiederhole ich:
Ob \"Blauhelme\" (Blaue Helme) oder \"Blaue Barette\" (Blaumützen), macht es keinen Unterschied. Diese beide bezeichnen die UNO-Friedenstruppen in Einsatz. Vielleicht gibt es bestimmte militaere Vorschiften, wann eine Mütze und wann ein Barett getragen werden soll.
Darüber hinaus hießen die Fallschirmtruppen der UdSSR auch \"Blaue Barette\".
Im o.a. Text steht \"Friedenstruppen tragen Blaumützen ODER Blauhelme mit UNO-Wappen um die Angehörigkeit zu UNO-Kontingente hervorzuheben\"
Die untere Quelle ist übrigens auf Deutsch

Viele Grüße, Karin!
