WWII Tube Restoration. It’s rather sad you have to say this. People should get the idea when it is conveyed in a historical sense but some people just lack the brain cells.

I was stationed in West Germany. Awesome time of my life. Military, History and the Germans were wonderful people. Spent time on the West/East Border for two years over looking the East. Spent many days/nights in the Rain, Cold, Mud, Snow, Heat and the Country Side. The Germans would bring us beer, wine,, bread, cold cuts and goods.
Those were the good old days.

German helmet restoration after battle of france
**Colorized**
,,Battle of France."
Well technically it is after the battle of france. Just many years after
what, this comment makes no fucking sense, why would a german stahlhelm rust so fast to the point in a few hammer hit it would break, second of all why would the german restore a m40 helmet when they have million of those in storage or in production, this comment is quite retarded.

@@yeoldeseawitch who said it was and how did you think it was wtf
Anyone else felt a bit uncomfortable when they tore off the original liner band instead of trying to save or preserve it somehow?
It's in a too bad condition to be salvaged.
My first thought! Whatever condition it was in, it is an historic artifact that should have been preserved in the "best possible condition"! Such wanton destruction of ever decreasing artifacts makes me sick!
Well what were you supposed to do? That was beyond repair
@@coinsmith some things can no longer be repaired, at least he restored a stanhelm!
No not at all!
As horrible as history can be its still important to preserve some of it, even small things like helmets. So this is awesome
I wouldn’t say these helmets are “small things”. Quite a huge part of history really. Individual people had their own assigned helmet that they used everyday to protect themselves from shrapnel and to use as bowls to eat out of. Men died and risked their lives in these helmets. Millions of them. World War II is the biggest event of mankind. These helmets aren’t small things. Big parts of history. If these WWII helmets could talk the stories would be incredible

One day I thought hey chess is all strategy like war why not play some old German marching music and that’s how I stumbled upon that song. 8 years later I had the opportunity to live in Germany learn the language and live with a German family who appreciated my knowledge of this sorta stuff. My ex gfs grandfather was in the war and fought west and eastern front. Germans treated me incredible. Sadly have experienced more racism from other Mexicans than the German people.

What is that wax paste thing? Can someone tell me the name of the product?

Title should be: "German helmet gets a make-over"
Exacly. This new trend on youtube where every useless Joe makes "restoration" videos that are everything but actual restorations, is infuriating.
This is the best helmet design in history. The us army actually started wearing helmets in the 80s that looked way to similar to this helmet so they had to re-design it so it wouldn’t look like the German helmet

I liked how he skipped the bit when he put the liner in with the steel liner band attached, must have had great fun trying to get the 3 rivets fitted and splaying the tabs out between the inner and outer bands!
does anyone else find this really satisfying to watch?
I guess all those helmets that they find rusty in Russia and Europe can be fixed.
i think the thickness is super compromised by all the erosion
also with all that sanding to get it smooth again
Very nicely done, if this is not the same as the one you recovered in another vid I say this, I'm amazed with the fact it still had that much of the head band left.
When you realize grandpa’s helmet doesn’t mean he is a electrician: **confused confusion**

You have some serious skills bro. When u started didn't have much hope but when u finished it feels like it just came out of the factory. Try wearing it too in the video once unless it is illegal...
the primary problem about western countries is banning some ww2 stuff,tbh german stuff is more better than western ones
Took a priceless piece of history and turned it into a repro. Sweet.
Auegeschesnet!!!! yeah. Clearly, the best restoration that I have ever seen. MAD SKILLS!!! You, simply, . . . ROCK!!!
You did a lot of good work, only to end up painting it the wrong color, and with the wrong finish. The original color used by both the army and Waffen SS before 1843 was a dark green-grey, originally in a semi-gloss but quickly switched to flat finish when the war started. After 1943, all helmets and vehicles were given a base coat of "Ordinance Tan" (which we Allies often mistakenly call "Afrika Korps Mustard Yellow")., over which was sprayed two additional colors: red primer and "apple green", so as to give the helmet a blended camouflaged look (the orders could not be carried out by every factory due to paint shortages caused by Allied bombing, and so the dark green-grey is still the most common color you see on millions of surrendering German soldiers in 1945). As in WWI, all paints were in a flat finish, to avoid any chance of reflecting moon light at night. At no time was any helmet in the Third Reich ever painted glossy (or semi-gloss) US Battleship Gray.
The Chilean Army still wears German Uniforms .Helmets and all
Really? I did not know.
@@wwiituberestoration1011 let me tell me history,simplying the Chilean army need some training,so the Germans (Prussians at the moment) trained them to replace the French,the Prussians even leaned them how to march and use Prussian hats such as pickelhaube
Well, the uniforms is used for ceremonial purposes only, not in battle. Egyptian army also used German style helmets too.
The only Germans today still wear such helmets are firemen - white painted helmets.
Well, I'm from Chile and yes, during the last years of 1800 and the start of the 1900s our army hired Coronel Emilo Korner Henze, he was the person selected to teach our troops the Prussian formation, since there we use the German outfits and tactics. Every year during September 19 our army do a military parade where we show our "military strength" and also show our story, there we have an special regiment of soldiers who wears the old Prussian uniform and then the German army (similar to the Wehrmacht) uniform, they also have a band playing Preußen Gloria while they March.

Stalingrad Part 2: Summer Vengeance
You are a great example of someone who was never told,,," You can't do that"....
Very good work!
What I think is a shame, is that so many people say "The Bad Germans" or "The Bad Nazi Socialists"... But it was a World War... Nothing was fair at all... Regardless of whether from the side of the Wehrmacht aka Axis powers (Achsenmächte) or from the side of the Allies. So many people who didn't want to fight, whether Germany, America or anywhere else ... There were so many people who didn't want to fight, but they had to do it ... I would like (especially with such a video where the story is the main part) that a little more thought is put into it before you write something bad about the symbols under such a video ... Sure, here in Germany this is all a forbidden symbol (which I personally find a shame because it is part of our story). However, you don't have to insult all Germans just because they come from Germany ...
(I writed some parts with google translate, so if you find mistakes or words which don't make sense in the order how they are there: I'm sorry :D)
Otherwise I enjoyed the work very much!
Greetings from Germany!
Da hast du recht 👍
Execution of criminal orders does not deprive them of responsibility for them, 1,7931600 civilians died only in the Soviet Union. Nobody wanted to fight, but they fought, killed and tortured ... just war.
Maybe those events are not related to today's Germans, but they were related to your grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
Trying to belittle their guilt is wrong
@@lekmuf Most German soldiers were conscripts and young men who didn't want to fight and just wanted to feed their families. The Schutzstaffel were the ones to blame for their numerous atrocities. Not the soldiers in general.
I actually don't agree with you, or at least not totally (being an italian who loves history and Italy even more).
Germany is a great country, you shouldn't feel ashamed of what idiot Hitler did to your country back then.
Awesome job. I wanted to ask how you managed to fix the vent holes. They looked quite worn but after you finished with the filler, it seemed like it came out of the factory. Thanks. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work 😊
It's interesting to see the old items getting back in their time. Nice work.
Great job, bro! Finished product looks great!
Amazing restoration bro looks like it came out of the factory in the 40s
History candy. Love it. Thank you.
Hey dude, loving the restorations
You better keep this helmet, it’s legendary.
Well my grandpa once said to me “not all Germans are bad one time I was white my platoon and I got lost and 1 German soldier said to my grandpa “Halt!” My grandpa looked at the German soldier, the German soldier spoke a little bit of English and said “mine field” he pointed at the sign and my grandpa walked to the German soldier and they chat a little bit (my grandpa can speak German) and my grandpa offered the German soldier with an MRE and the German soldier also took out his MRE and my grandpa said let’s eat I guess...
So they ate there MRE and they heard both of there allies and axis calling for them and they once more looked at each other and both said goodbye they both ran towards back to there platoons.”
Hope both are okay and will meet each other again some day

Thank you for your work. Great restoration.
Found this in my Grandpa's attic idk he was probably a technician
Edit: oh god now I found out why we're hiding from the goverment
You know when I found out that actual wartime helmets insignia were water transfer decals I was absolutely flabbergasted. I was sure the real decals had to be something more durable like a pvc sticker with a chemical hardening agent or something.
They bonded it to the helm rather than only sliding them on.
They used lacquer
That’s nice right there. Great Job.
What a beautiful restoration
Beautiful, I'm watching this in 2020
Am I the only one who doesn't like restorations of historical stuff? I just like the authenticity of the item. rust an all.
Sometimes the restorations are necessary to stop it from being destroyed. Many paintings would fade away, peel off if it weren't for restorations. Also movie props. The Michael Myers mask from Halloween 5 was restored because if it hadn't been restored, it would've fallen entirely apart.
This one doesent bother me it had no orignal pain decals or markings at this point i think thers nothing wrong with what he did
Proper restoration usually means that the item in question has been repaired to the point where it's risk of physical deterioration is at its lowest while it's originality is at its maximum. While the video creator did a pretty good job at patching it up, the helmet at the end of the video has lost basically all of its originality and is essentially a replica.
3:26 was probably the best stopping point as far as restoration goes, but it's his helmet so he gets to decide what he wants it to end up looking. Personally I don't like the finished product. It just doesn't look like an authentic helmet anymore and that usually ends up hurting market value. Make of it what you will, but restoring antiques can be well done if the restorationist is properly trained and knowledgeable in their field.
There is many ways to perform this work. This what we see here was one of them. There are enough stahlhelms in the world to do various kind of restorations. I love nicely preserved items in original state but love rusted stuff that show the work of time and weather in human made artefacts. This restoration was very nice work.
Exactly
Those M36s had a greenish flat paint added to them. You have a navy grey gloss paint on them.
Der Aufkleber ist der I Punkt auf den Wunderschönen Helm Top Arbeit 🙋
looks really comfy! i'd love to wear it everyday
If you want to remove properly the rust as I do leave the helmet in a solution of water and cidric acid.After you have to protect the helmet with wax or rustol othervise rust will come again after 24 hours.Acid citric diesn't damage decals.Good job!
Very nice restoration job! Good bondo work!
Wow! Wonderful job!
fantastic job!! I would like to try this as well. What was the solution you soaked the helmet in?
Also, I was surprised you didn’t put a Luftwaffe decal on there because of the paint color you decided to go with.
Thank you for the video!
