Different Types Of WW2 German Heer Helmets.

Non-political!!!

[@mdkcjtl5523]

My grandfather was German soldiers on my fathers side, although he didn’t where a helmet he was a Tiger tank commander and later got captured by the Americans sent to a prison camp in late 1944 to Nevada which is where I live now ironically he enjoyed being a tank commander so much that in the Korean War he joined the US army where he was a tank commander of a Pershing tank.

[@MrMike-oc6dr]

Great information! Those are the coolest helmets of WW2. Thanks for explaining when the changes took place and what years they occurred. M 35's were nice for military parades, however not so much for combat situations. I recalled the Russian snipers said that the national shield made great targets to sight in on. I think it might be the same situation for the leather boots they wore which were not ideal for combat situations.

[@samoutikamatuah37]

Furthermore the Finnish army had thousands of "original" German helmets, mainly m-40 type, which were bought from Germany 1943-44. After the so- called Continuation War these helmets were refurbished and often an extra pair of rivets were added to these helmets for the new liner system. I should think, most m-55 helmets have the same feature. Yours Tuomas (Samout)

[@worldwarguy459]

Samout Ikämatuah that is correct.

[@emersonglasgow948]

The first M35 was a apple green color then in 1937 they changed the color to a field grau or a dark olive green color . Around the same time they switched from aluminum spit pins to steel spit pins . In 1940 they started switching to the M40 and was still doing double decal until the Wermeche said no more double decal except for the military police. Get a chance try to get the book made by Brian Ice helmets of the German military 1935 to 1945 ,its on Amazon and is very informative.

The "piece" you are refering to is called a "rivet".

World War Guy well, if the issue is that you don't want to modify any of your helmets, that's understandable. If you don't got any decals then I hope you will get some and if you can't think of anything to put a nice decal on I would like to inform you that your neighbor has a car with tons of space for decals.

Jim lastname Hello.

[@narutogauchiste1992]

Nice vidéo, thank’s

[@Spitsz01]

The airvent on the M35 IS important. It is a separate peace (like a rivit)as opposed to th M40 and 42, where it is part of the helmet. It is the most distinguising feature between the M35 and M40/42. Pardon my French...

[@michaelmuller6890]

Helmets of the M35 style are still in use for fire brigade, medical services and civil protection. Though not made from steel, but aluminium today.

[@AlphaChinoz]

Michael Müller They are absolutely not... Not even close, if you compare them to the other models (relatively, of course). What's used are more similar to the M34's.

[@roughlane4759]

Alpha Chinoz wrong

[@AlphaChinoz]

RoughLane prove me wrong, then... I own over 30 German helmets from WWII, of all models.

[@GustlMax]

Alpha Chinoz I am a fireman from Germany and its true. We still use M40 shaped helmets. The only differente is the material, which is aluminum. The only parallels to the M34 are the Air and rivet holes.

Cool , that's something to pass down in the family. I picked up a factory double decal W/SS helmet back in 1983 for $250 in Montana. It's a M-40 ET 62 lot #5152 , it was made late 1940 and was taken from a soldier that was in the Das Riech division. Take care of the helmet and watch it go up in value, 😉👍✌

[@rcpwProductions]

I have an m40 finn helmet which is still confusing me. I had some of the spray paint removed exposing two more layers of paint, one being some dark green, the other being a very grass green color. The rivets are that of a german liner but the liner itself is a finn one. Most people say I own a special sort of helmet with a strange and color.

[@worldwarguy459]

Recorder Playing Weeb not sure about the paint. It all depends on where you go it from, previous owners could of painted over it, change split pins, or the Finnish army could of just had them painted many times. Personally I don’t think it’s a special helmet, but just that many people who owned it before changed it to what they wanted.

[@hanstragarsky1340]

What is always overlooked of the Finn helmets is that there were some that came from German use, so what your most likely seeing with the dark green is German paint, same with the split pins.

[@dontevenbother6090]

[@joegarcia2354]

[@fishyc150]

The air vent exists as the name suggests to vent air. It is raised so rain and water runs around it and not inside. It's not just for decoration.

[@worldwarguy459]

Yep.

[@kroatlionhearth6604]

there was also a limited edition helmet used by some special Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine land units named "type 43" or "m-43" mostly black or km-blue colored, looked like a bit smaller, tighter but more robust model "m-42". Pretty rare to find but of higher quality steel so most preserved pieces are in good condition and amongst the more expensive german helmets of WW-II.

[@joebaggadonuts7480]

Hello! Very nice video but it made me wonder if the M35 would have been used late war, say Normandy?

[@worldwarguy459]

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

World War Guy I see a lot of them on ebay in various conditions. But collectors warn about buying one on ebay.because of the frauds out there taking post war helmets and aging them to pass as "found on a battlefield" or "authentic" helmets. I saw a really nice M42 last night in very good condition, with all rivets in place, for $450.00. That seems a bit suspicious.

[@worldwarguy459]

It's always a gamble buying off the internet. I was lucky to get mine at a run-down antique shop that was a Vet-bring back for a good price. The good thing is that the M42, to my knowledge, was only produced for Germany during World War 2. So finding an original on eBay is more likely to have an authentic shell but it's the liner, decal, chinstrap, and paint to be weary of.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

World War Guy My mistake, it's an M40. But it's being sold by IMA so it's probably legit.

How is the decal on the original still there but the new decal is falling off?

[@worldwarguy459]

Bath Toaster to my understanding, during ww2 German factories would apply the decals while the paint was somewhat still wet and I believe they also had some sort of protective coating on them.

[@Bathtoasterr]

World War Guy ahh ok. My decals fell off after a couple days

[@petegromov9037]

Heard a story that Finns were quite annoyed with air whistling thru the air vent and blocked then with wood splinters or small sticks. No idea if that is true.

[@worldwarguy459]

It is possible, I know that the Germans did that during World War 1.

[@averagejoeschmoe9186]

I guess it applies more to the m16 style helmets than to these later models, as the taller design fitted differently depending on the bearers head size. Both the earlier and later models of the Stahlhelm were serving in the Finnish defence forces till 1960s, then they were fully replaced By other less distinctive and dull designs.

The prices on German ww2 decal helmets have skyrocketed, most dealers sell their helmets with prices ranging from 2400 to 3500 dollars, which is too much in my opinion, i could already buy an SS dagger or an German cross in gold with that amount of money.
