Really great video! Not much is known or studied about the Iraqi Fedayeen, and this was very informative. I did notice however that two points in your video were incorrect. 1 - The Fedayeen helmet was not made of a kevlar material, but rather a hard plastic. The exact composition is not entirely known, though I believe it is actually a polyethylene fibrous material. As you mentioned, this offers little to no ballistic protection. 2 - Although some Fedayeen insignia's were removed, not all countries required this. The UK was the only union of countries which required Fedayeen Insignia's to be removed. With this, although Fedayeen helmets are extremely hard to find, most US captured helmets are complete with their insignia. Thanks for posting your video! It was fantastic!! BSR Militaria

From what I know, the Darth Vader helm has the same materials as the later variants of the Iraqi M80 helmet, which is corlon. Had South Korea not embargo their steel shipping to Iraq, all M80s and Darth Vader helms would be made of steel.

I brought one of the Fedayeen helmets home from OIF1. It is in pristine condition with the rubber seal intact. It's one of my prized possessions that's displayed in my home office. Recently, a retired CSM gave me the black jumpsuit that goes with the helmet. The helmet is made similar to a US steel pot helmet liner. These helmets were laying all over the ground when we entered into As Samawah in late March 2003. & I claimed this "novelty hat" on my customs declaration form when I flew home. AIRBORNE!!!!

The design of the hands on the crossed swords were made from molds of Saddam Hussein's own hands and scaled up to the massive size for the monument. On the ground below the crossed swords were the helmets of defeated Iranian soldiers. The Iraqi military would march over these helmets to show their superiority over their enemies by stepping on their "heads". At the beginning of this video a photo of the helmets near the base of the monuments forearms cascading down to the ground. Quite a sight to see in person when I was there 2005-2013.

Kuwait the day before the invasion, after the Jeddah talks, demobilized the military and lowered its alert phase, and the most important aspect is that the entire Kuwaiti military is only 16,000, and a citizen population of 580,000, and the rest of the population are foreigners, while Iraq is only 17 million. Kuwait is a tiny country with a tiny population what the hell do you expect

I had no idea that the story behind this helmet was so crazy. Going into this I thought that I would just hear you say something like "Yeah, Saddam wanted a helmet for X reason, so he went to Y manufacturing facility, but what they could do was limited to do Z, so Saddam ended up getting this helmet.". I had no idea that Saddam's regime was running on pure memes.
