mcspool Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Great. Many German helmets were put to good use after the war, I have seen pics of them turned into pots and pans and coal scoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25 pounder Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Elder farmers in the neighborhood used German helmets as grain/corn scoops to feed their cattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topdog Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 No, its actually a helmet used by the German night searching group. They were a little known outfit used during power cuts in the trenches. The helmet gave the wearer a bit of advanced notice that he was approaching a wall or other obstruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case , they would have weld a bajonet onto the helmet , when they would have ran into an enemy squad !:cool2::cool2::cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
