I thought I knew most helmets the first one 1916 I didn't know the different ones I've been collecting for 30 years thank you for all info you can always learn things
Thanks for the video. I seen where you guys brought in a nice haul of original German helmets the other day. I hope to add a German helmet to my M1 collection on day
Thank you for a very informative video! I didn't know there were many differences in these helmets. They all looked pretty much the same to me. Now, I've become interested in collecting this stuff.
I absolutely love these videos, and I hope you will continue making them. And I think they may even draw new people into the hobby. So, I'm 16 year old boy from Norway, and I began collecting medals of ww2 in March 2017. Despite my short time in the hobby, I've already got to spot a few copies.Yet, my aim is not to brag, for I'm still relatively fresh in this field, and I''m just happy that I didn't fall for the items. -Yours faithfully
Also m42s didn't have decals (mabye some super early production ones had 1) but the general rule is they didn't in fact it was often an order to remove decals from older helmets because they were a target. m40s occasionally had 2 decals and they are highly valuable.
My German language teacher told me (in 1959) that he was never so glad to get rid of his helmet and rifle when he was taken prisoner in Furth, Bavaria. He said the sight of the Wehrmacht helmet sickened him. He would surely be confused by these collectors' items.
That doesn’t surprise me at all. But why he should feel sickened is beyond me. All he was doing was defending his country. The all consuming conscientious objector attitude of Germans is what sickens me. My mother is native born and raised German, having lived through the Hell in Germany during WWII. That said, I have several male German cousins who filed C.O. Status to avoid military service. My father, brother, and I were all career Army, and each served several overseas assignments to Germany, me alone having served 15 years in Germany. That pissed me off no end knowing that I was there protecting their asses instead of them doing for themselves. The Germans are pathetic anymore.
@@johnmead2781 : I am german, Brittas boyfriend. I did not serve in Bundeswehr, because military gave me a paper, your eyes are too bad., which surprised me. In both world wars, ancestors/ relatives of me died ( Artillry shells/ becoming ill in russian POW camp), in earlier wars i don' t know. I am 56 now, untrained and have Asperger disorder, in case of necessarity i would fight, because it is my duty to do so. But only for defending country and nation, not for defending our leaders, in the last two decades they betrayed the german people too much.
Interesting video, looking to restore a helmet myself, one my Grandad saved from the war.... Enjoying watching the collections & museums - gotta love a bit of history 😃👍 Subscribed!
@@burnheretic3950 I personally don't care. I've resorted atleast 6 helemts. I prefer to see them in their off the factory state than rusted and etc, they are just so beautiful.
What about the cut front visor M1916 - M1918? It was a field mod as many wore their helmets backwards for better vision looking uphill over a trench line. Some of them made it into the postwar so it could have adopted by factory designers.
i like ww1 helmets more than ww2 and if you where wondering what ww1 helmets look like they are the ones that have the spick on its head which he does not have and the ones that have the horns on it calls the pic i’ll hem and the stalhelm . what he does not tell you is that the sniper shells is called a grobenpazer .
Great video Daniel. Can you do a video on the difference between fake decals and original decals and how to spot fake camouflage helmets too. I had a decent hat and helmet collection in the 1970s that I got from vets and sold almost all the hats and helmets years ago. Now I'm afraid to get some helmets since there are people taking orig al helmet shells and making them look old.Thanks again.
What about this? The German M1918 visorless helmet is often called the “Turkish variant,” but this version was actually produced for German troops. It was used by the German postwar army and Freikorps during the German civil war of 1918-1923.
First of all this is a excellent video! Thank you so much for the valuable info! I do have one question; what if you have a different helmet that's not heer(army) and it has more than 3 rivets; specifically 4 rivets. Is it authentic or a fake? I seen a m34 civil police helmet with 4 rivets so I don't know if it's fake or authentic after watching this video.
Do you know any thing about ss honor rings. I have a 12 ss panzer ring I'm trying to learn more about. It's silver well worn and came from my friend who said his grandfather brought it back from the war.
Has anyone seen the movie forbidden ground?? If so what helmet does the general have and what helmet does that german dude have that gets killed bij rick the wounded guy
I saw a strange black German helmet of ww2, can you tell me why this black aluminum German helmet has a kind of white tape wrapped around the base (two strips of tape) ?
When the helmet is made of Aluminium, this can be a postwar firefighters helmet. Those ,Wehrmacht' style firefighter helmets are in the last years slowly replaced by ,Pilot' style helmets, but you can still see them.
@@brittakriep2938 Thanks a lot for your help i bought this helmet and i'm proud to have this in my collection , as you said it was probably used during 1945-1960 period
@@TheCerberusInferno : Some notes: For the reason of wwll, the new west german Bundeswehr introduced in 1955/56 the american helmet. But the 1951 founded Bundesgrenzschutz/ federal border guard ( nowadays Bundespolizei/ Federal Police) used the Wehrmacht style helmet, you can see this in Internet/you tube. The Bundesgrenzschutz once was a paramilitary police, since mid 90s a purely civilian police. Also the Bereitschaftspolizei of the west german federation states used this helmet until early 90s as Einsatzhelm schwer. The Bereitschaftspolizei is Riot police or they come, when local police has not enough manpower. I did not know, that this helmets are still in service, until in 1986/87 the ,King of Bavaria', the bavarian governor Franz Josef Strauß died, and i saw a bavarian police honour guard escorting his coffin with such helmets
Did any of the German helmets ever have 5 liner pins? Bought one recently for a steal, as everything looks good, except it’s got 5 liner pins and not 3...
Could be a Finland army reissue, they put two extra rivets for the liner and chinstrap.........or, the Spanish Z M 42 , which had more than three rivets, but usually had a badge bracket welded to the front.
Really awesome video. I’ve found a german Black firefighter helmet from the Tunisia campaign. I want to buy it but the antique store is asking for $600. I thought it was a little expensive. What do you think ? Thank you very much!
Black firemen steelhelmets had been used in rural West germany up to about early 70s. Similar looking Aluminium versions , in bright yellowish green had been common up to perhaps five years ago. Today firemens helmets basicly in same shape are still made from modern plastic, but no more very common.
It's ironic that German WW1 and WW2 military uniforms and equipment is more valuable than the allied uniforms to collectors. I can see why. They are much cooler than the allied uniforms.
Holy shit I’ve never seen a collection so beautiful.
Javier Hiraldo I love your profile picture
I bet from russians :))
Ofc
Think about how expensive that must be
Javier Hiraldo nether have i
So that's where all of the helmets have been going!
I've been confused since many of them were out of stock
Exactly LOL
True
Hahaha facts
That and history's secrets

This man: *_yEsH_*
Brilliant, utterly brilliant and most informative and proper presentation on the matter. Do keep up the good work. Most enjoyable.
Yet again a terrific video, I adore the whole quality of these things, from the info to the background music, it all adds together really well!

WWI helmet with sc horns are my fav. Esp M16 what has something from Pickelhaube aswell - symbolic symbios.
I used to have a battle damaged m16 shell with that light green colored paint that was seen on German artillery
thx for the tutorial.
great video

I either have a 1916 or 1917 but without the liner I cant tell. It has field camo painted on it.
Nice video!
I missed the M34 and the M38, though.
There is no m38 or m34, anybody that knows anything about German Helmets knows that.
OMFG.. Thanks for sharing your collection

What is a spot on the front of the m35 for looks like something can clip on the front of it about the thickness tooth pick. What can clip on it there.
That is either a Finnish or possibly Hungarian or Bulgarian model I believe
Thank you! Very informative.
I’m advanced and you just introduced me to the SH60. I had no clue. (Thumbs ups!)
Very informative and useful book suggestions.
Were do you get the sh60s from I have been trying to find one

Yea I’ve also seen them people take ones that were never used in battle
Wow that’s so cool. I like to know more!
I love your channel respect from Spain
Could you talk about the model M34 lightweight helmet which was first used as a parade helmet and then used by SS and SD Einstazgruppen troops.
Hi how are you doing today, I am new to WWll collecting and I plan on focusing on the Nazi and Soviet stuff. :]
This was really informative! Thanks.
that's a god damn money fueled collection!
It's not a collection, it is or was all for sale on the website.
The best design copied by everyone. The 1916 model with the visor horns is my favourite🇨🇦🤠

Is it a WW1 helmet? If so it mighy be a german WWI helmet given to the finnish soldiers in Ww2 to be reissued in the winterwar.
WW2
isoto0224 probs a reissued helmet to a different army (99% sure finnish)
Very interesting video thank You !
These guys banged a good deal of my friends since the 90's on fake crap.
buena coleccion yo crei que los tenias a la venta.

Well i heard that 1 side decoy was introduced in 1941 i guess and later in 1943 the stopped painting eagle with swastika .
hallo,
if i remove the screw and the nut from an helmet , would it be hard to put them again?
Seems that the shooting star emblem belonged to a Luftwaffe unit, but cant quite pin down which one.
Great video I am trying to make a accurate uniform.
How did he find all these ?

Does anyone know if the Sgt. Schultz Helmet on Hogan's Heroes was an M35 Helmet?
No...There were M40 Helmets that still had double decals : Luftwaffe, Police, SS...
My helmet doesn't have horns, but can I still attach a brow plate to it? It's a 1935 type Stahlhelm.
Probably not, m35 is ww2, only helmets from ww1 had horns

Did the helmets get lighter over time?Also did their protective properties improve ?
No and no. Maybe only slightly lighter owing to the slightly less metal in its size, but it’s likely only a fraction of a gram.
really enjoyed this
Wo kann man hier Helme kaufen
Thank you for the announcement! I sent you an email... many thanks
Daniel could you do a video of your own personal collection? Thanks
Thx that was informative
"Do you know anything about the numbers and letters stamped inside the various models of stahlhelms?"

How much is that helmet and t-shirt and bag bcs i wanna know i guess
I want to see the German daggers of ww1 and 2
Daggers were uncommon in the first great war. Most soldiers when raiding trenches would use a spade or thier Bayonet.
I have a camo 1916, I dont think the paint is original, it seems like it's hand aged. I used it in a little ww1 short I made
