  • The german soldier was like all other soldiers..all they wanted was to go home. They served their country like anyother person would have served theirs. I have meet many WW2 German vets (here is the USA), Army, AF, and Navy and they are no differnat then any other veterans of war. I meet Adolf Gallion, Gunter Rall and a few other fighter pilots. Meet one of the few Battleship Bismark servivers, a gentile good man. Meet another sailor, a U-Boat captian, but cannot remember his name.

  • gotta admit, german soldiers looked the most badass

  • I have just orderd this :D

  • The German WWII helmets WERE THE BEST ever made. this is why it was copied by the western allies. There is nothing in the US army that is US origin.

  • @xxTeutonicKnightxx So that is BS that America was going to use German style helmets right before the war.

  • best helmets m40 i want one

  • Were did you get this clip! Thanks for posting....

  • Coolest helmets ever and hand made thats way much better

  • 31 seCONDS !!!! i thought this was a documentary thUMBS UP !!

  • dear santa......

  • @mikeymickymichael actually the latest US helmet looked too much like the M40 so they had to re-shape it a little to account for political sensitivities. So much for the dude wearing it.

  • darth vader would be proud.

  • @Back4Fungame The Star War Series which was produced by a Jew no surprise tried to ridicule this helmet and along with it the German WW II machine but I think the general public was able to see though the smoke and mirrors and the colored plate glass they filmed as well of that phony movie series.

  • @MrBEB123 Maybe he made fun of the german armament, because it  really was ridiculous.

  • does anyone know which of these german helmets is the deepest/sits lowest on the head? the M35, M40 etc..?

  • Darth Vaders helmet!

  • My grandfather brought one with him as a war trophy when he left Norway back in 1940.

  • i HATE the nazis with a PASSION but i GOTTA LOVE THOSE HELMETS~! WHO HERE WANTS ONE??? With a LUGER TO MATCH??? I Do~!

  • @TitanicMatthew

    The helmet wasnt invented by the Nazis. It was already used in medieval times. Just google "Schaller" helmet. In WWI IMPERIAL-(not Nazi-)Germany brought it back up (M16, M17 and M18 helmets).

  • @TitanicMatthew Yea it sucks, I do not agree in most of the things they did or say, but they had nice uniforms.

  • each time the factory worker made a helmet a human being was killed !!

  • How can a helmut look that cool?

  • I collect these helmets. No decal M40's in good shape can command prices from $400 to $600. Double for Heer and Luftwaffe... SS helmets $5k and up depending on their condition. Best manufacture was Quist, highest quality and HEAVY!

  • I have one of those, pure original.

  • A lot of jews in slave working

  • germans had style and i like the uniform

    (i do not support the nazi party, nazis are assholes, hitler was an evil shameless greedy backstabbing mother@#$%er)

  • German design has always been awesome.Say what you will about German politics,but no one can deny the feats of engineering and craftsmanship the Germans have demonstrated.

  • I saw one of these on w w w.helmetsmedals. c o m in good condition

  • That white solution that the metal is being dipped in is soap.

  • Die Soldaten des deutschen Bundeswehr brauchen und zur zeit die alte Wehrmachtshelmets Model - 1940 !

    Grusse aus Bulgarien !

  • That helmet is always sexy I don't care about the Nazi stuff on it, THE STANHELM IS SEXY FOVEVER! Giggity

  • @LtBriJMAC Heck yeah. I have an M35 & M1918 Stahlhelm reproductions. Got the M35 for Halloween this year. It's one of the best I've worn. Actually more comfortable than the PASGT kevlar that I used to wear.

  • im not a nazi, but im proud to be a german ,i think our old ww2 stuff was the best in this time ... high tecnology, really good quality, nice "look"...we only had the wrong leader..a stupid, dumbass, who killed so much people, look at the brave soldier who foght for her life!

    peace out and nice greetings from germanY

  • @RushEvolution ...and shamwows. You know the Germans make good stuff.

  • @RushEvolution ......Yes I very much so agree and greetings from the U.S.A. !

  • @RushEvolution Das Heeresrüstungsamt hätte unsere Soldaten noch einiges besser und vorallem moderner ausrüsten können wenn Hitler nicht ein solcher Traditionalist gewesen wäre. Er hat sich zum Beispiel lange gegen die Einführung des Sturmgewehrs als Standart-Infanteriegewehr gestreubt, was dessen Herstellungsprozess und Bereitstellung für die Truppe verlangsamt hat. Auch den Düsenjäger ME 262 hat er zunächst sabotiert...

  • @RushEvolution If it wasn't for that ''dumbass'' you wouldn't have all those great things you love for that particular 12 years period...DUMBASS!

  • @Matthias3388

    ok.. xD ....great things* -> great war? stupid idiot!

  • @RushEvolution A war that was not intended to happen. He never wanted it! ...dumbass

  • @Matthias3388

    he never wanted....omg, you are so stupid....look at "mein kampf"....in this time wasnt war-time....but the worte things like: untermenschen rausrotten, juden vernichten...fick dich du dämliches arschloch!

  • @RushEvolution Empty words. What version of Mein Kampf you god...idiot? Haven't you heard that today there are so many you can't count them on fingers.... I'm not going to insult you further...you really don't matter...even if u are german...Shame! The man that wanted the best for you is now hated due to jewish lies...

  • The stahlhelm has a perfect design... as well as Luger P08 was the perfect design for handguns, beside the military uniforms.

  • The production process of the stahlhelm was very special. It was difficult to produce a helmet so deep with such curves. It's neck protection was superior to all others.

  • *listens to powerhouse song*

  • what al would hapened wit those helmets ? think about it ?

  • I think most armed forces such as the US forces nowadays wear helmets almost the same design as the German helmet.

    Firefighters in modern Germany still wear these helmets but painted white. As far as I know, Egyptian soldiers wear them on guard or ceremonial duties.

    The only allied soldiers in World War 2 wear such helmets were the Chinese Nationalist army.

  • I want one!

  • Very short and sweet :)

  • the desing influenced modern helmets apperently

  • hahahah i have mein but i ruined it wile painting it

  • the sturhelm! best helmet ever

  • @stefanx223 Dude, I love you man.. You're so frikkin' funny dude holyshit I wanna make love with you you are so fucking hot you fucking turn me on.. dude we should meet up sometime and eat the poo poo together dude that'd be so sick in a very good way omg I love you see you later boy (: <3333

    xxxx Love youuuu xxxx

  • @stefanx223 Wow, all that hate just because I make some spelling mistakes? You're the one that is behaving like a 12 year old child here! I fucking hate trolls like you.

  • @stefanx223 I knew it was actualy called Shrapnel, but I don't know how I spell that.. And dude, not everyone is english or american on youtube.. My first language is not english, I learned to speak english myself.. So please stop fucking bitching around, some people got to learn that youtube is global, not just limited to England and America.. Go try to learn yourself a different language then, and you will see how hard it actualy is faggot

  • @stefanx223 When a grenate explodes it blows away metal sharts of the grenate that will dammage enemy soldiers..

  • Straight shot will go through but if the shot comes in an angle it ricochet off.

    In WW2 battle what is the likelyhood that the shot comes straight?

  • @Maverick110290 It's not only bullets, the helmet also mainly protects against granate sharts, and shockwaves.. It also motivates the soldiers and make them look badass (:

  • @ThaisBlackXboxLive

    Yea :).

  • I have one with an eagle and another with lightning bolts that my granddad brought back. are they valuble now? I'm thinking of  repaint ing one for my bike.

  • @bastardchildofmary, heavens if it has the "lightning bolt" aka SS Runes then that is 1 valuable helmet. Don't paint it!!!

  • Its funny how they seem to churn these helmets out like nobody's business, and now, I can hardly fine a genuine helmet which isn't bloody expensive :(

  • anyone know the steel gauge of these helmets?

  • err. kraut

  • Somewhere in Berlin the Russians buried thousands of these helmets in a mass "helmet grave".

  • can 9mm bullets go through it?

  • @fxcat123 Yes, the helmets were designed to stop splinters, not bullets. My copy is a M-35, better quality with the folded under rim. The M43 had a sharp rim that would cut the camouflage covering fairly quickly.

  • Alexanders Frisur sieht aus wie ein Stahlhelm!

  • The Darth Vader Helmet factory.

  • Please enter VISIT ARI-JESUS and look at the top entry. Thank You.

  • Wow great production and jobs

  • what i would do for one of those helmets....

  • @hackerhater I have one....It belonged to my mates granfather during the war.They still can be got relatively easy at army shows and the like

  • @hackerhater How 'bout for a klondike bar? jk jk I bet the unfinished helmets would be more valuable these days than some SS helms.

  • @hackerhater Can you be more specific about what you would do ? xD

  • @hackerhater How about a Klondike bar?

  • @hackerhater

    Make one? haha jk

  • @hackerhater Start a war with the allied powers...

  • @hackerhater ebay

  • the best helmet!.

    the amercian helmet today is called "fritz" because of the german ww2 helmet

  • The design originally came from Germany. America, not wanting to be wtfpwnd by those nazis, stole it. :)

  • Coolest helmets ever made

  • @torsnn the best is the ssh-36

  • 1:24 I can't believe that, i thought that helmet was cast from the forge and not bent. woah.

  • the helmet is the stormtroopers of Star Wars

  • i want a german helmet plz...

  • NVA or Wehrmacht ??

  • I WANT both...:D...

  • Wehrmacht

  • it's priceless

  • i want one so bad ! im gonna kill sombody !

  • HAHAHA! YOU'RE FUCKING FUNNY!

  • Well I am glad the Germans lost the war... BUT their equipment and uniforms looked so nice... Not like today.... Civilians can't tell were the different soldiers are from... They all look the same...

  • holy jeez you are so right, the other day, they got some comments on here saying British soldiers were Americans!

  • Isn't it funny how Darth Vader's helmet looks just like those ?

  • guess why ! He is the bad guy......

  • They are not apart of the same force! They are apart of a coalition, but not the same force. What happens tomorrow if we have to go to war against a "former allied partner"?? Don't think it can happen? If it did, we'd have to re-equip our entire military or face more friendly fire incidents. We all looked different from our allies before and it was not problem, so why should it be now???

  • Regardless of political beliefs, the WWII German helmets and uniforms are second to none! Todays German army looks pitiful, as if they are trying to look like they are U.S. troops.

  • Ehh.. I see you never thought of how different countries were experimenting with gear and weapons during the period after WWI. It's not like today where we have rules and share our technology, back then you had to invent hand held machine guns, sub machine guns, field gear etc etc.. That way no one looked the same. Today is totally different, as there are rules on weapons and there are only so many ways to design equipment today that it will look the same.

  • wicatt is right they are the best in every aspect and they look dam professional too

  • I didn't forget about anything, just stating my opinion. I myself am a veteran, so I completely understand, and am fully aware of how different countries werer experimenting with gear. But that is no different in concept from today. Every army should come up with their own weaponary,helmets, uniforms, etc. German soldiers looked far more professional 60 years ago, than they do now. Now, they quite simply look like U.S. army troops.

  • Germany, USA, England, France and so on.. They're all part of the same force, so why would they want to look different? it's actually quite simple, we're not going to fight each other in the Allied countries ,but we fight together against the same enemy, wherever it might be, so ofc we will look the same more or less.

  • its realy crapy to put this together i put mine together and that tokk aboot an hour and a half just put the inside of the helmet and the shell together

  • My grandfather told me, as war was over, he and most of his comrades left her helmets on the cars or threwed it away in rivers or meadows...think about it, how much money you get today, if you collect ten of these.

  • I hate how everone is pretending to be geniouses like "This helmet were produced in........ because germans had........... etc" just say "What a nice helmet". Because no one wants to know things, just google it if you want more information

  • First part shows making of a m42 in 4 single steps. alloy was manganese-silicon steel. Last part with rim rolled is

    m40 or m35, wich used 11 steps in mo-ni steel. ww1 type was forg. in 16 steps!

  • the helmets are so expensive because there are not much of that helmets

  • I love the german helmet i want one but i dont see why they are so expensive. jesus christ i mean its like $200 for a reproduction bit of metal, i understand if its an original in good condition for $500 but reproductions should only be like 70 bucks

    p.s while people are on the subject, america committed some of the worst war crimes especialy at the end of the war when they occupied berlin. no one has heard of them coz the "victors" dont like showing how blood thirsty they are...

  • well at least you like the helmet... =)

    oh yes i forgot to ask... why are you refering me as "Adolf" oh yes, you must be mentaly handicaped but you disguise it with good grammar and spelling on youtube. wow i respect you now!

  • wtf is wrong with you i just explained to you that i dont give a shit if i dont spell everything correctly on youtube, what made you think i adore hitler?

  • the guys who make repros german helmets are douchebags, they sell fake ones for a lot

  • Sag mal, bist du dumm?

    Tell me, are you nuts?

  • ich liebe die from der dt. stahlhelme =)

    es soll nichts verherrlichend wirken, aber ich würde gerne auch eunen solchen besitzen...habe nur rostige dinger beim sondeln gefunden ^^

  • But more to the point on this video. The German helmet was a superior helmet. The americans use the style today because it gave more protection than the Allied helmets. It is a good helmet.

    End Of

  • 39rc6cf

    you are a bit ignorant arent you.

    it really was the world against the Nazis.(im british btw) im not taking sides.

    German did have the best soldiers in the world, best equipment, generals and yes helmets (not a biggy) but when you are out numbered by that much the best will fall. Quatity is what the Allies had (saldy lacked quality) Germany had a sheer quality but sadly lacked quantity. France was better equiped than germany when she invaded but sueriour tactis and ability won.

  • is tare any wai to make them by yourself ?

  • You could either make a cast, which would be time consuming to make, or have a piece of sheet metal, a hydraulic press, a form to put under and over the sheet metal while pressing it, and maybe some fine hammering/grinding work. To make the back longer than the front, and with the angle, you would have to cut the metal as well, if you use the press method. But unless you're going to make 1000, it wouldn't be cost effective.

  • and claim the victory while you know nothing about the Third Reich, also you are brainwashed by the US government or those so called "justice" act, I don't think US and its allies don't commit any warcrimes, they sure do many dirty things, get your self some education before making such childish statement, you are a uneducated, unemployed, fat ass , alcholic, jerky, drunken loser, get a life.

  • the german fought three fronts, the germans invent the first rocket, the german made the first jet fighter, the SS waffen soldier fight hard in harsh condition while you allies are sitting on your jeeps eatting your canned food, turning loud your radio with music on, drinking coke and call air strike while sitting at the back as a coward,

  • haha "Thats it"

  • After having recently toured Poland, I'm sure the Polish armaments production companies use the same technique except for the fact that Polish soldiers are standing in the vats for quicker service.

  • we still wear this helmet at the bavarian volunteer fierefightes with another color

  • volunteer fierfighers

    watch ?v = NwvY2 sWUL7Q

    bundeswehr

    watch ?v =V aray MJDDTE

  • We Allies and the Soviet Union sure as hell turned you "SUPERIOR" Germans into dust. If you're superior, that means you consider us inferior so how can inferior overcome superior? That's easy. You never were superior in the first place nor are you now. You're just plain arrogant which means I'm gonna cream you but good on You Tube.

  • For sure,you are the master race or should it be masturbaters?People like you brought Hitler to power so people like we destroyed people like you."Nigger hand from the USA?"Listen up you freaking Kraut--plenty of our black soldiers fought bravely in WWII--many in the European Theater and many died while killing you bastards.Also we have a half-Arican-American man as our new President for whom I voted.We Yanks don't go for your Kraut racial purity bullshit so take your Nazi ideology and shove it.

  • You had such a superiority complex, you cost the world 50,000,000 lives trying to prove it while we kicked the shit out of you goosestepping assholes. To hell with not only the Third Reich but to all those who supported it THEN and support it NOW. We should have A-bombed most of your cities.

  • The Reich promised a chicken in every pot & a Volkswagen in every stable, but all they delivered was a helmet for each man, woman, and child

  • And how about a burial plot for every soldier?

  • well said.

  • kristof987 (39 minutes ago)

    well said.

    The creep is a Norwegian whom, in my estimation, is as traitorous and sinister as Vidkun Quisling, the scab who gave that nation on a silver platter to Hitler.Go to Barbraossa85's profile page and see for yourself the Nazi shit he's got plastered all over the walls but when questioned about it, feigns any Fascist leanings.You know, the epitome of a snake.Norway's a great nation; he degrades it.

  • @39rc6cf : germany - the 3rd reich - was great . Their technic and the leaders were greatfully. the enemys had only to many men ! Remember germany is a small country. what could they do against 10 x fighting men ?

  • The Third Reich a.k.a Nazi Germany was a pussy.

    Only good for beating up small countries and exterminating their own handicapped as well as minority groups. History says that we Allies plus the USSR kicked the living shit out of your heroes and that's all she wrote, sonny boy.

  • And for you, 39rc6cf, at that time the USSR was one of the Allies, not Allies plus USSR. Get your facts right.

  • To Gefreiter jasicherdoch:

    Wrong. The Allies were considered the USA and the British Commonwealth of Nations. The Soviets were NOT in the western sphere of influence. There was no cooperation and strategic military planning by the Allies and Soviet Russia. Stalin fought ALONE while we and the Brits collaborated in Europe, Asia and North Africa.What the hell would a Kraut know about such things?You people were too busy killing everyone in and out of concentration/extermination camps.Mach Mund zu.

  • lol your a douche

  • vonDietz (7 hours ago) Show Hide

    lol your a douche

    -----------------------------

    Your profile says that you are an Australian in college which doesn't say much either for you or Australian colleges because anyone your age and in college who doesn't know the difference between "Your" and "You're" is an asshole. So put THAT where the sun don't shine, Adolf.

  • are you serious! the only thing you came up with is that i couldnt be bothered typing you're . and you checked my channel before responding. get a life... lol

  • M40 helmet is perfect military helmet! why? because is made by german hand!!

  • German guys did other things with a hand aside from making stupid looking girly helmets for poor slob soldiers who didn't know the difference between swastikas and their own assholes. No wonder why Hitler was so popular in a nation of jerkoffs.

  • oh my god man, you sure owned that guy! why is he even arguing anyway? that was 60 years ago! and they lost! so whatever he has to say doesnt matter because they lost! lol!

  • Thanks for the video. I see when they went to M42's they sent all the hammer guys to the unemployment line. Look at'em all. Poor guys. =(

  • I've got an m35 and m42........it's time to get m40!

  • work work schel schel

  • the dead were sent back to the government, and their brains were served in those helmets for the starving Germans

  • niga, please

  • LoL! =)

  • ready for war!

  • Those German helmets are perfectly designed to either pee or crap into. I congratulate the Heinies from providing needed relief.

  • The US navy used helmets simmilar to the British ww1 and ww2 helmets, during ww2. During ww1 you guys used the British helmet.

    THAT HELMET LOOKED LIKE A FUCKING SOUP BOWL!!

    This is why British commandoes started fighting with their berret on their head...so the Germans would take them serious!

  • Be assured of the fact that the Germans took us Americans very very seriously regardless of helmet appearance. In fact, the Krauts took us so seriously, they surrended to us.

  • be assured of the fact that the British looked down on the Americans was of fighting in ww1...

    read history...

  • First of all, it's BARBAROSSA, not BARBROSSA so if you are unable to correctly spell your own YT ID, then there's no hope for you. No Brit looks down on a Yank soldier and vice versa. GB and USA are first cousins through the marriage of Hymie Kornfeld and the Duchess of Puddingshire. May the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes fly side by side forever.

  • I know its Barbarossa...i just hit the wrong button when i created the account. You know keyboards...they live their own life sometimes.

    The British and Americans did infact have arguments around the American soldier that served in ww1...theirs training and so on..

    If you dont know the history...then just shut it!

    I know the British and the Americans are good allies...it have nothing to do with British Generals looking down on US military in the early-mid 1900s.

    You balme me? its a fact

  • In my opinion,you're no more than a young punk Norwegian pro-Nazi Quisling who's not intelligent enough to understand the difference between the historical Barbarossa & the hysterical Barbraossa. Don't tell me it was accidental either; you simply can't spell which is even more attested to by writing "You balme me?" instead of "You blame me?" Maybe your right fingers are on your left hand or vice versa? Learn to be astute as I instead of a 3rd grade clown. I have a fan club; what say you,Vidkun?

  • holy shit you must be stupid!

    fuck off, stop wasting my time!

    You wish you new as many languages as i do..

    trailertrash!

    Idiot.You not only can't spell BARBAROSSA but also KNEW. You say I wish I "new" as many languages as you? I think you're wearing your Nazi steel helmet too tightly;maybe the chin strap is too tight and the pressure on your brain is cutting off the blood flow? Go look at your Nazi crap collection,Quisling, and leave You Tube for MEN, not for punky wimps.

  • Oh is that when the Kraut Schweinehunds started taking the British Tommies seriously? I thought it was as soon as the lousy Krauts started getting Tommy bullets between their eyes.
