Preservation Very Rusty German Luftwaffe Helmet M40 ET64 - Restoration Project

In this video, I will show full preservation of the German Helmet M40 size 64 from the World War II. This helmet has been in the ground for 77 years. As a result of the restoration, the original paint and the color of the helmet were preserved.
No propaganda and extremism. Only history!
The demonstration of Nazi symbols in my videos is not propaganda of fascism, Nazism, etc. They are demonstrated exclusively for historical and scientific purposes.

I had always heard that the original German helmet decals were tough, but the fact that this Luftwaffe decal stayed on through all those years of moisture and rusting is amazing!

[@BadRonald1]

I was thinking the same thing. I was like " Damn, And that decal is still on there?"

[@Wilhelm-Von-Hohenzollern]

@@BadRonald1 and he's ruining history by restoring it, do not praise this man.

Always happy to see a preservation instead of a full restoration. Great job!

Просто фантастика!чуствуется знаток своего дела.Жаль что в молодости 80-90г.XXвека мы считали что такие шлемы безнадёжно пропавшими и небрали!Благодарю автора за данное видео,получил удовольствие смотреть его работой и мастерством.

[@Chiaroscuro1991]

Thank you for conserving rather than restoring that artifact.

[@benniebarrow348]

Just found this …….Wow!, bringing out the authenticity is so much more effective than a complete “like new” restoration. Excellent job.

[@krugmeister7301]

INCREDIBLE HELMET..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗😑

[@wwiituberestoration1011]

Yeah. I'm surprised at the end result, too.

[@barrycopas1671]

A true preservation, some replace the helmet with filler and paint, destroying the authenticity, this is very well done.

[@stevefriswell5422]

Very sympathetic preservation job. I thought that you might have gone for a full restoration but in my opinion, what you have done is better.

[@juri64]

Просто чудеса!из личинки шлем превратился в прекрасную бабочку!золотые руки мастер👍

[@shannonVwalker]

Not many veterans left from ww2 this helmet tells stories about what happened in ww2. Beautifully preserved.

[@markosterman419]

As a museum professional I would suggest that what you did was a nice job of “restoring” the helmet. “Preservation” is keeping the patina of an artifact with very little intervention. “Conservation” is maintaining the original found condition with additional steps to prevent further deterioration.

[@robertmartin5308]

What a beautiful job, this us absolutely amazing and saving a piece of history albeit a horrible reminder of terrible times.

[@russjordan243]

Just watched this and the other video of the restored helmet you welded from two parts. I’ll start by saying you’re far better at this than me! I have attempted with varying degrees of success to preserve different things over the years. I was wondering if you had ever used ospho, and your opinion of it. I used it on a large enamel petrol sign with many spots of rust, and it did a beautiful job of turning the rust into black primer, while leaving the enamel intact. Also used it on an old wheel barrow and it preserved the paint while neutralizing the rust. Only suggestion I might dare offer you on this helmet is the part where you used the pick to remove the heavy chunks of rust. I’m thinking perhaps a small hammer and a chisel might better direct the force where it is desired, but I don’t discount the idea that you may have considered this and have a reason not to use that method. Amazing work you do and I enjoy watching. Thanks for producing these clips.

GREAT JOB. Greetings FROM GERMANY.

Growing up I had a friend who's father brought one home with him from " the war". I hope he still has it.

Got the same luftwaffe helmet M40, nice to see someone do the totally same :D

[@josefcosta8267]

Du bist noch nicht fertig Bruder!! haha du bist ein talentierter, geduldiger Kunstler...gut gemacht!

[@truereaper4572]

Very well done. Amazed that you managed to preserve the original decal!

Thanks for not sandblasting the surface. Not new but well used in it time. Great job

at first i thought you were going to strip every last atom of rust, fill all pits with metal or bondo, paint it factory new. Excellent work. I love these artisan channels. Amazing how much is left of eagle. Thanks for the upload

[@nv1493]

Fantastic work, so glad you didn't sand blast it and paint with Rustoleum!

Good job just the right amount of sympathy 👍🏻 👌

As soon as I saw the gram scale come out I knew this was gonna be good. Great job my friend and a grim reminder of a horrible time.

The man who wore this helmet, loved, laughed, danced, cried, had a mother may be a father, maybe had brothers and sisters and grandma and grandpa. He was loved. He may have been married with children. So who are we to say that he was less than human? Because he was the German, because he believed in Hitler‘s ideology? I don’t know I don’t know the man. But we do know he was a human and all humans have those traits. 80 years gone it’s a blessing. They’re all dying by the thousands about 3000 a day Americans that is

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Just found your channel I love world war relics being restored the right way I go metal detecting and I've got tonnes and tonnes of bags full of stuff going back to early civilization they just keep mounting up been detecting for 35 years that's probably why..SUBBED 👍

Nice job conserving the item. I am glad to see it not restored.

[@georgekoroneos3892]

Its very respective work involving the removing of rust & pitting problems i called it valuable especially when coming to the particularly point to preserved one of the best helmets of W W 2 .which in fact gave very satisfactory all around complete head protection but what i enjoy most is the techniques used & expressed in order to preserved it ...

[@america1711]

I got that same type of helmet and it also luftwaffe

Правильная реставрация.!

[@johndodson8464]

Hurray for preserving the paint.

[@JustaGuy1250]

what the actual fuck how are you so good at this!? you turn helmets that look unsaveable regarding rust thickness, into helmets that seem like they were only buried for a week

[@XD-lb9xe]

شخص جدا رائع وذكي 👍✅

[@ultrajd]

I don’t know exactly what year but I can tell you that it is a early war helmet due to the fact that the edge of the helmet is rolled over. By the later stage of the war of the helmets were just simply left rough cut around the edge.

[@pfdfdg]

Круто, я не думал, что получится столько краски вытянуть! 👍🏻

[@gungner6166]

Very well done! I,ve nerver restored a Helmer befor but havet restored a lot of bicycles etc and in the final stage when you used sandpapper i'd use Steel wool and solution, if You're ever going to reapply candlewax and want to remove the last bits of rust i highly suggest it, it can smear the paint tho bit so van sandpapper anyway, again, really Good job!

[@jeffburnham6611]

I would have thought the severity of the rust had compromised the integrity of the helmet to the point where it had become so brittle as to just fall apart. If only tat helmet could talk, I bet it would have quite the story to tell.

[@krugmeister7301]

NICE JOB Sir.👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🤗

The part when he went after the helmet with a hammer super fast reminded me of Bishop from Aliens and his knife trick.

There was a man in Småland Sweden that had thousands and thousands of these helmets that he bought from gross sellers in Germany 1947. Some still there I think.

I know very little about restoration BUT I'd be very curious to know what electrolysis could have done in this case. Nothing was going to save the eagle but electrolysis would have gotten ALL of the rust.
