Hello my friends!
In this video, I will show you the restoration process of an original German M1940 Stahlhelm ( Steel Helmet ) from World War 2!
I was able to buy this original German helmet shell a while back for a good price.
The helmet is a later war Quist produced Stahlhelm, and was post war painted in black.
It's time to bring this helmet back to its former glory!
I hope you enjoy the video!! :)

Very nice restoration,my grandfather August Lindemann was a German soldier during WW1,,he came to South Africa after the war.I was a conscript in the South African Defence Force (1976-1977) and also a Angolan war veteran.I like your reenactment and trench videos,it’s such a pity that your MG 42 got damaged.In South Africa they do reenactments of the Boeren Oorlog (1899- 1902)during that period we were at war with Britain.Keep making videos,it’s much appreciated.

@History-Secrets 4 месяца назад

Thank you!! Paint back in the day was different, but there are companies producing paint that is really close to the original! The paint I use in this video contains Aluminium Oxide for texture, just as they did back in WW2!

@kobzol8140 4 месяца назад

Hi. Depending on how the helmet looked like before you restored it, I think it was used by Czechoslovakian civil defense or firefighters. After the war they, there was a lot of german helmets left here. So they repainted them black and often replaced the liner, chinstrap and splitpins. The splitpins were a little bigger than original ones and on your helmet you can see the mark on the paint they left after they were removed. Very nice restoration!

He had a 55gal barrel of them on the roof of his house that he'd sent home. The last one, mine was in decent shape, it has the name abel on the inside. He told me abel wasn't able to wear it anymore.
