- Hello everyone!! I know, you have been waiting way too long.. but finally, a new video! :)
This time decided to make a video about the Beaded German WW2 Combat helmet!
In this video, I will show you the differences between the German combat type helmet models, and talk about the interesting Beaded version.
We are also going to restore an original German WW2 M42 Beaded helmet!
I have been editing as fast as I can, I hope you enjoy the video!! :D
Most of the helmets used as reference came from FJM44.com.

Okay, so some people are complaining about the restoration, and are saying it's a bad and ugly one, and the color is completely wrong etc. 29:03 (Final Result) Well, I don't even know why I have to explain this in a pinned comment, but like I already explained in the video, the color is exactly the same as original beaded helmets. Especially at the end of the video, you can see that the color is 100% correct. If you think that's not true, than I know for sure that you've never ever held an original one in your hand. I own original Luftschutz helmets myself, and have seen many different ones in my life, and I can say that this is all correct. I'm someone that will even notice the smallest mistake, and there are none. Also, some people are saying the helmet should be black.. do more RESEARCH! Another complaint.. Why I ruined a nice original helmet, and painted over the original paint? Listen, like I said in the video, the paint was badly damaged, and keeping it like this was not the best option. It would not fit in a display with the ugly scratches, so I decided to restore it. These helmets are not rare with original paint, actually, it's more rare to find them without original paint! There are a LOT of these helmets around with original paint, it didn't hurt the value. If this was a regular combat helmet, I would not have done it, but this was the right decision for this helmet. Stop complaining, I know what I'm doing, do more research. Here a few of the Many original examples I can show to prove you are wrong : www.proxibid.com/Firearms-Military-Artifacts/Military-Artifacts/WOW-Original-German-WWII-Beaded-M35-NSDAP-Double-Decal-Civic-Police-Steel-Helmet/lotInformation/52788726

I also don't understand why some people always have to complain so much. I always enjoy watching you and think you do it perfectly.
I think you did a great job, some people just don't understand restoration
Its the effect of time and you can't turn it back, each mark shows you what its gone through
and what happened to it, the rough look of the helmet is what makes it a part of history.
You are a legend and you really do uncover these secrets in turn teaching everyone.
@@Hingabe. Yes, and this one didn't have any of those.. This one only had scratches from someone messing with it after the war.
@@History-Secrets I think you did a great job of the helmet and like you said the scratches would of ruined the helmet if they were still there
I haven't heard that you lost someone dear to you! I send my condolences to you and your family. I can only imagine how you feel. I am sorry for you, Nick🙁🙏 We know you are trying your hardest, we understand.
Dude you dont need to apologize for Not uploading, Being busy is perfectly fine and your content is always worth the wait!
Yes I agree
And sorry for your lost
I agree by alot
This virus has hurt us all, wife lost her job and seems like it you as well. Why did China make this virus that got out in to the public... China, come on...
No need to apologize i understand
*Borders closed down due to Corona virus*
Nick: And I took that personal.

@@swat_ape3920 I am in this comment and I don't like it, same spelling too.
I'm sorry to hear u lost a family member sorry for ur loss man i lost my nanny last year I'm still grieving but I'm still standing strong I hope ur ok too cuz I'll love ww2 and ur videos keep it up man
I am sorry for your loss my grandfather died a few weeks ago and we found an old Stahlhelm M40 with winter Camo in his house and we are sure that this helmet belonged to my great grandfather who fought on the eastern front
Sad to hear that.. Sorry for your loss.. Nice find though!!
@@History-Secrets Hey Nick, I'm sorry for your loss. I can't believe my Grandpa has been gone for a year already (Almost, Mar 13th) He was in the US Navy during Vietnam. Have a nice day, and be safe. Wear your mask too.
Honestly, when you said that personal stuff at the beginning of the video, it hit hard. I'm glad you opened up to complete strangers online, not a lot of people do that genuinely. You're strong, Nick, I know you'll get through this. You and your family. Just know, we're all here for you, and we'll be by your side, virtually, supporting you.
Much love,

To quote a great combat leader, " hang tough" your audience loves you and your videos! Awesome stuff Nick!
Thanks for the support!!
I bought my m35 double-decal beaded "polizei" stahlhelm from an antique shop about 5 months ago, and I've been searching EVERYWHERE to get a solid answer on what makes a beaded helmet less sought-after.
The antique salesman said his seller was an old ww2 vet who picked it up in Berlin during the american occupation, and brought it back home.
The metal work screams quality, so it was confusing to me when the interwebs was stating beaded helmets were the defects.
Since nobody knows the real answer, I'm going to agree with you that the beaded helmets are to simply designate what's for civic duty, and which is for the military.
I'd love to come across a non-beaded m-35 just to compare the two. Thank you for making this video! I'm glad you appreciate stahlhelms and the history behind them!
I thought today was a bad day until history secrets uploaded
I am so early that France hasn't even considered to surrender😂
Bruh hurry yo ass up! *By the time you get to the Eastern Front the war will be over dayum*
Me too
😂
@@ironstriker995 I can't find my helmet!
🏳️
When you're so early the Germans are still going through the Ardennes
Poor man the virus is fucking his life over, I'm really supporting your channel and i hope all goes well it's great content just keep it up
I'm sorry to hear about your family member passing, don't apologise for not uploading
We need to get nick to 1 million subs
Atthefront: how many helmets do you want?
History secrets: order 66
Lol so true
I also lost a family member and I have a new puppy, I feel you.
I'm sorry to hear that, stay strong!
Losing your trench would be like losing your dominant hand. I hope that will never happen! I'm very excited when things get more normal so you can go out and do the things you've been wanting to do. Patience is key I guess.
Also, awesome green screen!
There’s no reason not to respect Nick. After everything he’s still here making videos for us
So early that Germany hasn't invaded poland
Same
I'm so late that the Soviet Union already invaded half of Germany
@@theboxoftexas wait u realize east Germany wasn’t half of Germany it was maybe 1/3
@@tigerpresentationsproducts425 yeah but that half had most of berlin in it,
Ahaha
Beste, Gecondoleerd met het verlies van iemand uit je familie, ik hoop dat je je snel beter voelt. Het zijn ook niet de beste tijden met corona nu je kunt nergens niet meer naar toe zoals bijvoorbeeld de beurzen ''Ciney'' en markten en dat maakt mij nu ook wel wat triest eigenlijk maar hopelijk komt dit allemaal wel eens goed! Ik heb echt genoten van je video weeral en heb ook weer iets bijgeleerd zoals altijd als ik naar je video's kijk ;D Groeten uit België!
Great to see you back, no need to apologise for not uploading much recently, these are difficult times and everyone understands that. Your depth of knowledge is just amazing, I love watching your videos 👍
Just now saw you uploaded, and you don’t have to apologize for not uploading, your content is always a reward for waiting! Keep up the good work man
hey, sorry about your loss and the family business, I really hope that you get back up on your feet and keep doing what you love
When’s the next collection video Nick? Love ur vids
Not sure yet, still have a headache from editing 2 days in a row! 😂
Ok no worries man, keep up the great work and we’re all praying for you 🙏
@@History-Secrets something funny those liners looks like something I'd make in art class haha
@@History-Secrets omg remember you don’t have to focus on videos all the time ok:) HAVE A GOOOOOOD DAY

Put yourself first man. Focus on your problems. Don't feel sorry for not uploading. Love you man. You keep my love for history alive.
Nick I know something, and thats that this lockdown can sometimes give some people special opportunities, in your case it doesnt sound like it. But just wait, sooner or later something will happen. But also don't apologise for taking this long to upload, I know how it feels to lose a lived one and to be in a situation like you are in now. Thanks for the amazing content
It’s fine man, just happy whenever you upload, great vid, and nice helmet
Camera quality better than my eyesight.
Gecondoleerd Nick 👍
He makes video for us....he makes us happy......even if something bad happens.This man needs a medal!
Awesome job Nick! Never heard of the rolled version of the helmets until you shared this vid. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Nobody: virus gets out of hand
Nick thinking about 1918 - 1920 (Spanish flu): yea this is historically accurate
just going to say this now, You need way more subs than you already got. This content is super interesting and entertaining. Also super sorry about your family member and hope you can keep your house!
yesss welcome back, i’ve been watching all your videos waiting for this one!!!😀😀
Great vid nick love all of your videos, I hope your ok in these strange times, but don’t worry it will all get better soon we’re all rooting for you 🤟
Also when you were putting on the decal it reminded me of the restoration of the m42 helmet and how you were getting really upset with it lol
Always good to see a random cannon ball 😂
Don't feel like you have to shape your life around us nick, we are your fans for a reason, and we will always be here for you.
Keep up the great work Nick! Love your content! Always have, always will!
Nothing beats an early morning History lesson about helmet 👌
Your my favorite UA-camr
I enjoy channels like yours. I came by this video from the video tour of your collection. Very cool. Between your trolls(haters), vast knowledge, experience and financial hardship, you earned my subscription. Top notch
Thank you so much for your nice comment!! 😄
First of All 'Nice background' i was just on the way to bed but now i cant sleep becus i need to watch this amazing peace of work..... Keep the legendary work!
When the Sergeant come back 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 hey he is back
I love your collection it’s insane compared to mine
Awesome video Nick!! Keep up the amazing work 👍
Bro as always. We are just sitting here watching your videos for free. You don't owe us a thing. Thank you for making content that is educational and entertaining.
Awesome job as always!
You don't need to apologize for not uploading, its okay.
Wow great video! I learned so much about helmets. And that color blue is beautiful. Great work Nick. (Love the background screen too)😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can't wait to see the bunker segments to come, I'm super interested to what you found. Nice work.
Yo I love this channel and sorry for ur loss
Personally I would of left it in the condition you originally had it in.
It wasn't worth it, these helmets are extremely common to find with original paint, it didn't hurt the value. Displaying it with all those scratches wasn't an option either, so restoration was the right choice.
nah i like the color
BRman102 I would have done the same thing and helmet was in an amazing and beautiful collection item for displays
@@Militariahistory It wasn't in amazing condition.. On camera it looked much better than it actually was.
@@History-Secrets I'm talking about collecting and displaying.
Always nice to see you upload, cant wait for another video!
That party shield really pops with that blue paint
Love your channel, I wish there were more guys that made as informative videos about German helmets as you
Finnaly a new video u are the best
#HistorySecrets Question do you have hair?
Lol, of course! 😂
Or do you?
@@History-Secrets hey can you show your hair on one of your videos
@@josehdz3384 Do you have like a hair fetish or..?
No, I have regular hair
When I have time,I show you’re Videos,a history fan like us,like you because you know so much about it!
It’s always a great day when history secrets uploads!
First , love ur vids, u make my day 👍🥰

Yes a new video of 2021 and very satisfying to restore the m42 stalhelm or a beaded helmet and like your WW2 video keep it up nick
I really like the visual effects and backgrounds, they really add something to the video. Best of luck!
Nice helmet man!
26:32
Gotta have that extra liner
Brilliant video I always learn a lot of new things from these videos. No need to apologise we all understand. Thanks for the new upload!
Love your vids man you inspired me to get into history learning and I’m grateful for that! Don’t apologize for having a life haha we all understand and are here for you!
Love the vidoe!
I own an original m40 beaded gestapo helmet. Thank you for informing me more about it! I’m very thankful!
I missed you! Loved your video already. And also, my condolences to you and your family
Cool really good helmet restoration loved the backgrounds you had!!
Nick any tips for someone who wants to start reenacting ww2
Very nice video, but the helmet had so much original paint, why did you decide to paint over that history? I'm also very sorry to hear about your family members passing. Much love from Canada.
Hell yeah new video, was worth it to stay up until 1am
You don’t need to apologize for not uploading especially if you have lost a family member that is always stressful I have been a fan sense the beginning I also really hope you do not have to sell that house you’re my favorite you tuber and I hope nothing happens
Damn is this mr beast or what? 😂😂. But for real you dont have to apologize for being busy it's understandable.
1:45 why not make a patreon, i couldnt help you but i'm sure a lot of people would be happy to help
A really good video I never knew that there was so many different types of helmet. Can't wait for the next video. So sorry to hear that you lost a family member, all my thoughts to you and your family, stay safe nick.
Very nice, I actually didn't know about the beaded helmets until this video. I'll be looking out for them in photos and film reels from now on!
Glad I could teach you something! :)
Recently my great grandpa died a week ago so I know how stressful it is to lose a family memeber
Sorry to hear that
Yay notification gang
Who else loves the sound when Nick is spraying a helmet
So sorry for your family loss. Hoping time will heal your heart.
Really enjoyed the helmet info. VERY cool! Take care of yourself and best wishes.👍
24:42 UA-cam is screaming internally
Also i’m very sorry for you. And i hope you keep the House, love from Denmark 👍
Also if you want me to send you some East german cold war 1950-1970 helmet or uniform Just message under this comment😃👍
Wow, I never knew these helmets existed. These helmets are super interesting. Great video Nick. 👍
Happy to see you back here, Nick.
I lost a family member also, now I know three people who lost someone, me, HS, a Roblox member.
The Helmet before the Restoration: I am saaaaaddd
After: I’m blue! I’m a deed ama dai!
Helmet before the restoration: I have value and i am collectable.
After: i am a destroyed piece of history that lost all its value.
This is a later war rare m42 style beades helmet. Therw was 95% original wartime paint on there and he just went over that with some cheap incorrect spraypaint. My god what has he done.
@@kodebruin4701 U idiot, the paint was all ready damaged and all ready lost all its value bc of the unoriginal scratches, and as he all ready said, it was the correct colour bc they used all sorts of colours at the end of the war. He also said, that he saw many helmets with this colour, and I can just adjust that, bc I am a war collector and see many original helmets with that paint and one of my friends has one with exact that colour to. I can basically not understand those people that know nothing about war history, but when they see a video about it, they think they are the cleverest and write such crap as answer in comments and think that is correct. I can definitely see that u are NO war collector bc u basically know nothing about history.
@@antonjensen1088 Glad you understand!
@@History-Secrets Yeah, I just can’t understand those people who think just bc u restore a helmet ore something else, it loses all its value! I mean, a rusty helmet with almost no paint has no value, it has *HISTORICAL* value, not with money. And besides, they also say u “ruined” the helmet, but u actually saved it from complete destruction. I can just not understand those people who write “u destroyed an thing with historical value”. U actually *saved* it, u didn’t destroy it. U saved it from becoming rusty and being completely destroyed.
@@History-Secrets Btw, do u know the series „Verstaubt sind die Gesichter“ from ParaLight WorX? It’s an very famous (for UA-cam) series about WW2. It’s on German, but there are English Subtitles. It’s about German Soldiers in the fields. A tipp, so u don’t get bored in the quarantine 😉.
While i was waiting for your New video, i got my first ever ww2 related item, an m40 helmet along with some decals and two collector's guide books. I'm very VERY happy and i thank you a lot for all knowledge you provide and all inspiration you gave me! Hope you keep your great work and your life gets more and more better! ✌️ Greetings from Brazil
That's so awesome, have fun with it!!
I am an Arab girl and I really like the history and the many things that happened in the past especially WWII, I really enjoy watching your videos, especially with your friends in the trench
