Rusty German Helmet Restoration 

The demonstration of Nazi symbols in my videos is not propaganda of fascism, Nazism, etc. They are demonstrated exclusively for historical and scientific purposes. No propaganda and No extremism. Only history!

My greatgrandpa left me his old SS helmet and even the uniform he wore in world war 2. Greetings from Argentina.

A WWII Ghost is smiling to see his helmet new again

My grandfather died in a concentration camp. He fell out of the guard tower

My great grandpa left me his helmet, it even has the same sign! I thought electricians were very rare but I guess its more common!

Friend: So your dad is a electrician? Me: No, he’s a gas worker

We all know he didn't restore it, he made time go reverse for this helmet, meanwhile he recorded himself acting like he was restoring it

Welcome to the comments, where everyone is either a 5 star general or a military historian...

90 years old hans: Come on Wilhelm! I found your helmet

Me: He is going to do this carefully to make sure not to break it *Immediately starts smacking it with a hammer*

This is not Racism this is history and please don't sell it!

My grandpa gave me this too! So proud to had a family member in the electricians union!

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. Sgt. Eric Camarena 13F 3/68th Armor 8th Div. 1982-1984

"Apparently, my grandfather was an electrician. I found his old helmet with lightning symbol in the attic."

Anyone else felt a bit uncomfortable when they tore off the original liner band instead of trying to save or preserve it somehow?

"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." Oscar Wilde.

The 1940s called. Hans wants his helmet back

I’m not for fascism, racism, any of that, but those are cool helmets

As horrible as history can be its still important to preserve some of it, even small things like helmets. So this is awesome

And now, ready again for Stalingrad!

Him smacking it with a hammer gives me anxiety even though I know full well that, that helmet has the capability of ricocheting small arms fire and shrapnel.

I kinda hope when he placed the SS logo he plays earrape version of Erika.

3:41 had you stopped there, you'd have the worlds most unique pasta strainer.

1.9k people want to erase history from the books.

4:48 it looks like a dolphin😲

From my perspective: That helmet is full of holes, damn And now he puts a strange wax/paste on it? And now it looks like a fine 3d printed helmet...nice

My grandfather died in a concentration camp in 1944... Fell out of a guard tower..

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.

Title should be: "German helmet gets a make-over"

When you realize grandpa’s helmet doesn’t mean he is a electrician: **confused confusion**

I guess all those helmets that they find rusty in Russia and Europe can be fixed.

That part when you started hitting the Stahelm with a hammer just gave me agony.

Wait so my family weren’t electricians

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...

does anyone else find this really satisfying to watch?

Hittin with hammer. Helmet : **Break** Hitler : This beyond the science. Me : Its 70 years ago...

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!

Menos mal que hay gente todavía que le gusta cuidar de la historia con estos pequeños gestos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Chilean Army still wears German Uniforms .Helmets and all

It's interesting to see the old items getting back in their time. Nice work.

Auegeschesnet!!!! yeah. Clearly, the best restoration that I have ever seen. MAD SKILLS!!! You, simply, . . . ROCK!!!

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 showed this to my dad which loves history but when he saw you hammering it he had that kind of face...

Stalingrad Part 2: Summer Vengeance

Hey dude, loving the restorations

Amazing restoration bro looks like it came out of the factory in the 40s

Took a priceless piece of history and turned it into a repro. Sweet.

Fun Fact: he is playing with the helmet of a dead guy

Wow, I didn't think it would turn out looking that good, really nice job.

After the war they had been converted into kitchen screes.

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 😊

History candy. Love it. Thank you.

*Man, that guy must have been a pretty famous electrician to get his helmet restored!*

PERFECT JOB ! ! WELL DONE ! !

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.”

Nice job on an historic piece !

This is satisfying, cool, and a really good idea at the same time

This soldier was an electrician or something 😉

Geile Arbeit. Sieht super aus👍👍

Great job, bro! Finished product looks great!

wow, that was some heavy pitting and damage done to the helmet. astonishing to see how restored it looks. instant sub

Next great video ! Really great restoration

Oh man, That was so satisfying to watch 😫👌

He is not restoring a german helmet but he is restoring someones electrician helmet XD

That wonderful piece of history was almost lost to that awful pitting! Glad you brought it back around!

Ah yes, what a nice shining Stahlhelm 🥰

The best helmet in WWII

You know this man has some serious skills when he manages to restore a WW2 helmet.

Thank you for your work. Great restoration.

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!

Its damn interesting - what amount of metal on this helmet was destroyed by corrosion.

Fantastic job

Excellent work! 👍🏻

Un ottimo lavoro!!

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

Dude, you have some awesome skills. Keep up the great work.

What a beautiful restoration

That was a great deal of work. Maybe look for one in antique war surplus shop for one in better condition.

When you started painting it looked blue I was like WTF ARE YOU DOING ITS SUPPOSED TO BE GRAY lol

One of the best looking helmets

It's always about history and Das Boot! Looks really nice. History preserved. Let's face it their uniforms were excellent for presentations.

Beautiful, I'm watching this in 2020

i would have never considered even attempting that. kudos👍🏼

Nice work!Awesome hamlet!

Wow! Wonderful job!

Wow...thx and Respect and greetings from Germany (Wolfenstein)^^

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.

You're litterally reconstructing HELL.

Magnifique restauration , bravo . 👍

I think that you should have left it like it was. It was a ground dug relic and you actually destroyed all of the history and originality.

Stahlhelm (1916-1945) es el nombre del casco alemán.

You are a great example of someone who was never told,,," You can't do that"....

That’s nice right there. Great Job.

Wow

You better keep this helmet, it’s legendary.

Very good work. Looks great. I restored q M42 from a dig in the kurland pocket . Turned out pretty good. Ive owned about 7 original helmets a cupple with original decals .

Woah great restoration
