I have the same in a very good condition. One of our brave soldiers! Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!

Excellent video Ben! I look forward to seeing more in the future!

My father ( 1st sqd., 1st plt., B Trp., 91st Rcn Sqdn. 6Jun43-10Oct45 ) always said that the German helmets were better designed and easier to wear than the US “pot.”

Great job, 🎉I love this ww2channel, keep up the good work 👏 🙌

Great video, just subscribed!!

Great Video! Its increadible to see Mr. Haberman recounting his story of getting it! much better than the many terrible souvenirs coming out of the pacific theater! Also cool to see you know your Stalheims😄

Awesome artifacts, Ben! If that M42 could talk! Let's pan over to that pea dot camo jacket.... 😎 -Bronson

If that helmet could talk- it probably wouldn't say anything at all.

Sometimes the germans used chickenwire.

Also, the bread basket straps

I am in the northeast and want to do something like this also. Can you tell me how you are going about finding the ww2 veterans that are still alive please. I have to do this before they are all gone. Thanks, cool video

Imagine if it was a Japanese soldier joking about taking a helmet from a deceased American soldier. Suddenly it's 'unacceptable' to say something like that.

Pristine condition...poor guy didn't wear it much. The leather blackens fairly quickly. Funny thing though...if a German has a "souvenir from someone who didn't need it anymore" or "some home they went through" they're called "looters"...if an American has it, it's just a "souvenir"? That Firebrigade helmet could fetch some serious money if it would be complete...shame he lost the visor. My grandad was on rhe eastern front from '41 until '45...he brought back some russian leaflets...nothing that belonged to a dead guy. I guess some people just lack piety...what the dead don't need no more...you wouldn't need either. Leave it there.....

A nice helmet for sure. Heer version.

I have one on right now 😜

In german it's called "Leichenfledderei"

The helmet looks like it is from WWI. Even has the holes on its side for the trench visor

Those would be the vent holes found on all German helmet models with the exception of the M45 ventless helmet

veteran states that he looted the house to get that second fire helmet

non credo quella corada sia sua "stata aggiunta successivamente"

Leipzig most certainly wasn’t the third largest city in Germany.

I Wish the Germans had kept the ww1 pickelhaube,,so Iconic and cool

the world war would have ended sooner

Chilli still uses the German helmet and uniform

visit a speech therapist my guy. Should be priority number one.

The term used should be stolen or looted .
