  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.....

  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.

  All those German Helmets lying around after WWII. They even made calendar's out of them and sold them for 98 cents in post war Germany. Now if you are lucky enough to have one. It is worth $700.00 plus dollars each on the present market. I noticed that one of the first things German POWs lost was their Helmet. You will not see many POWs still wearing them in photos after the war. Same with the German 98 K Mausers. The Americans were stacking them up and pouring gasoline on them and burning them as the German POWs gave them up. Now adays if you can find one under $2000.00 on the gun market you are real lucky. Many are in t he 4-5 K price range.

  There was a video made of this man returning to Peleliu with a fellow marine veteran and a former Japanese soldier. I can’t seem to find a link to it right now, but it’s worth looking for if you’re interested. It was titled something along the lines of “Former Enemies return to Peleliu” Edit: Found it kzread.info/dash/bejne/fI5kx8uRlbzaZMY.htmlsi=AlAHUYREzh9BYOru

  I have a lot of respect for these wwll veterans, because they went through a lot, and saw a lot of thing's that most people can't imagine. I had two grandpa's that were in wwll, my paternal grandpa was the sergeant of an anti tank unit, and fought in Normandy, and the battle of the bulge. My maternal grandpa, who was my best friend, was a medic, and saw a lot of really bad wounds, and was also at Normandy. He went on to help liberate a concentration camp, and captured a German ss soldier, and he brought home the guy's luger, swastika arm band, and the ss bars from his uniform. My grandpa became a medic, because he didn't want to kill anyone, and couldn't believe that any human could do such horrifying thing's to another human. He told me about what he saw in that concentration camp, and it was grim. He also told me a story about sitting on a bucket, smoking a cigarette, and deciding whether to finish his work load, or wait and sit for awhile. He decided to finish his work detail, and got up, and a young 18 year old soldier took his place. Less than five minutes later, they were bombed, and the young soldier on the bucket was hit, and blown to pieces. My grandpa said that from then on, he would do what he had to do, instead of what he wanted to do, and he would be okay. He thanked the Lord for saving him, and believed it was a miracle he wasn't killed. G-d bless.
