    My grandfather was force conscripted into German army. After he built his house after coming back, he used a german helmet for 40 years to empty out the septic tank.
    I asked him to give it to me after sewer renovation in the 90’ and he went into a rage fit over it. That thing disappeared soon after that. I never saw it again. Last I remember it was still in quite a good condition. Much better than the one in the video.

    @WWIITuberestoration excuse me Sir but what do you do with those rusty pieces after you finish restoration process!?
    would you like to sell them? I mean your work is considered a Miracle returning them back from death
    I suggest that you should have a website & sell those pieces

    Just a tip if ya welding thin metal if you hold a piece of brass behind the hole your welding your weld won't stick to it and you can fill the steel easier , plus it leaves it smoother therefore less fettling I've been doing this for years never failed ..

    На мой взгляд с таким коммуфляжем на каске ты становишься лакомым кусочком для снайпера!!

    For those concerned about the paint, this pattern of paint was actually used by the Germans in ww1 (there were official guidelines that made it look like this). Although, combining 2 original helmets to make a “new” one is quite questionable
