I recently watched the russian movie “sobibor” and there was a scene with an ss officer equipped with a vm37 and regular troops with gm38’s. Needles to say they were using the original filters
i have a lot of things to talk about for the film but i dont think that would fit the youtube comment section. Long story short, Its very realistic, portrays the horrors of war and shines light on alexander pechersky. A forgotten hero of soviet times
If you take a hot air gun and Castrol oil you can actually get the M54 Gas mask looking decent once more. The heat helps reshape the mask and the Castrol oil helps soak into the rubber and rejuvenate it to keep it from cracking and again further.
Having a whole bunch of M65 and M65Z masks, they are honestley one of my favourite and most well functioning series of masks, ive had no seal issues with them so it does confuse me a little, neither my old or new ones cause seal problems, the only issues i could thing of is either you having a size 1 face or as your previous hypothesis went, that they are designed for more defined jawlines.
If I see an M65Z I might pick one up at some point, but as I've said in lots of videos, respirators are generally made by each nation for it's respecting phenotype. So British masks are for Anglo or Celtic faces, German masks are Germanic, Scandinavian masks for Scandinavian features, Russian masks for Slavic features etc. The Israeli M15 is the same shape as the M65 but fits me fine because they put a better peripheral seal on it, peripheral seals are probably the most underrated feature on masks because it means you can cheat perfect sizing and head dimensions.
i have two volksmask 40. one in the original package, the other one a childversion that has been used in the annihilation of dresden. both look a bit creepy and both costed me about 20€
im always surprised with people having trouble with the m65. mine fits perfect. its defenitly a realy worn down one but its completely air tight. its general shape fits smooth and doesnt sqeeze your nose to death. im happy with it
As explained over and over, gas masks are made to fit certain ethnic features of the wearers face, if you wear a mask that is not from your ethnic background it won't fit well.
Yeah I agree with your point on the germans during ww2, they had a lot of equipment that was really well made, but they had no clue on how to actually use it efficiently
Hey recently ive been seeing gasmask posting on ebay saying [ prop ] on them the best example is M61 listings and i was wondering if you could do a video explaining about this because from all photos and everything ive seen they are M61s...but i just dont get why they say Prop.
Compared to the german tigers,the british tanks where pretty much a moped with an airgun attached. Say what you want about the germans but they where the british far supperior when it came down to warfare technology
I have a question, my local surplus store have a few gas masks in khaki bags that they say are West German, any idea on what they could be? I couldn't get a look at them as the bags were locked shut with anti theft things
WW2 British filters before the LaG didn't have threads they were glued, tied on. LaG is 60mm. German WW2 is some sort of 40mm I think, but not a NATO or GOST style 40mm.
I have got the m65 produced by Auer, also a german facturer, same top notch quality after over 40years (prod. 1976). Only difference is the string around youre neck is made of some sort of cotton, but iam having the some trouble of making an airtide seal. Sry for my wack englisch, im a German🤷🏼♂️ Also props for the great video you made! Gruß an alle Kameraden die das lesen ;D
It has problems making an air tight seal because the M65 does not have a peripheral seal (A small rubber flap that is just inside the face piece) You will have to do the straps up uncomfortably tight or get a smaller size.
@@Weaponsandstuff93 Can you maybe send a link of a picture showing that "peripheral seal" and/or name masks which got that sort of seal thingy, i can't find anything saying peripheral seal or describing it in detail. I would really appreciat it : ) PS: i now have an polish type mc-1 +ms-4 gas-mask filter, in a almost perfect condition, with the carrying bag, the anti mist insert and manual, if you want i can send you some pics ^^
farm3.staticflickr.com/2833/12917492834_3b759dbfc0_b.jpg It's the sort of ridge that runs around the inside, it makes the mask make a better seal to the wearers face.
Yeah that's the M65Z, I guess they either had plastic or rubber exhale valve covers, everyone I've spoken to has said the Z model is a lot better than the M62 and M65 models.
Weaponsandstuff93 yes,it's very good.Now it's only for collection and in the future it's possible I will buy a new filter.I'm trying to do a BOB for every emergency.Where I live(Italy)it isn't probably a nuclear attack,but if a chemical industry explode it's very important to have it in this case😂
Those german masks are always to small for my face... At least those i could get where i live... (however as i remember there should be bigger sizes, i just newer seen them in surplus).
Nice, so that means I have all three: M62, M65 and M65z. And my M62 is still in good condition. They all fit me very well so for me it works. Also I wasn't offended by the Nazi impression, it was quite funny though. Cool video! Also I have two of these ABEK-P filters by MSA/Auer and on the right side of the sticker there is a date below this sand clock like symbol that says "2010/05". Is that the expiration date or the production date? also on top of that symbol it says "19/4". Is this another date?
As the other number doesn't seem to be a date I'd assume the 2010 is the production date, so if it's sealed the expiry would probably be like 2020 or even later.
You might be able to find the recycled Danish ones a bit easier and cheaper, same as how the LaG masks were sold to Denmark, as far as I'm aware the Danish version has blue paint on it but it's the exact same mask.
Mr. Fox if you cannot find one you could always get an Israeli mask and do some custom modifications to make it resemble the gm38. Better than nothing in the end
When English speaking people try to speak a Hitler accent it sounds really funny if you are a German.
Yeah because it probably sounds absolutely nothing like him, but it's always the same sort of style voice.

Ja Ich Lieben Masken
the eagle stamps are under the face seal just look around the inside of the face seal you should find one, they usually stay pretty well preserved.
Just bent back the peripheral seal and the rubber started ripping apart, don't think I'll bother looking any further.
Oh god, that's a shame. I haven't had that happen to me. Its probably there and it looks real enough.
Yeah I have a waffen ss gas mask that has all the stamps and it was in a really good condition.
"It is what I belive to be a GM-54"
So it may seem
It also can be a GM30 but his GM54 doesn't have any markings or stamps, so it can't be recognized as a GM30 or GM54
If you take a hot air gun and Castrol oil you can actually get the M54 Gas mask looking decent once more.
The heat helps reshape the mask and the Castrol oil helps soak into the rubber and rejuvenate it to keep it from cracking and again further.
Interesting thanks
Got an important question, do the cheek filters on the eo-19 contain asbestos? I cant find any sort of confirmation.
Because there's never been a published lab test on them, I personally wouldn't use them because every other tested Soviet filter contains asbestos.
"Zwe don't have dze vrubber to make zero mask" Lol the voice you did cracked me up

this guy has shortened his lifespan and gotten lung cancer just to give us gas mask knowledge

My m65 seems to fit well thankfully but I would don my FM12 way before the m65
The FM12 would offer a much higher protection factor, which is something I ought to really do a video on.
I have a dumb question does the WWII gm gas mask have asbestos in them even without a filter on them?
The VM37 and VM40 have some sort of stuff on the inside around a joint that looks a lot like asbestos.
Weaponsandstuff93 what about the soldiers gas mask?
Now you need a can for your gm38 to put it in.And can you doo a video how to make a filter safe for display (Asbestos)
Supposedly storing masks in the metal cans can contribute to them drying out like my GM54.
oh so thats a bad idea:(
Not really sure, my masks in metal cans I'll keep in them but I wouldn't put other masks in it.
But the german gm38 was in a can.And the dragger one to i think
Drager simplex looks like one of those smoke shop gas mask bongs 😭 that’s what they’re all modeled after.
tad late but i dont thing the 2 gas mask at the end were german i think they are romanian m74 gas masks

Yeah it will a bit.
Any sources on the shower head filter containing asbestos?
Well it's a WW2 filter...
ive got a gas mask from the swiss militair
Cool which mask?
i think the M2000 is very good (i had it in basic Training)! what do you think? (in germany it costs around 130€)
and my M65Z fits me extremely well!
I was wondering, how can you determine the size of a German mask? I’ve been looking into getting an M65, but I’m not sure if it will fit.
There is a second version called M65 Z I think it's a better version!Look at some videos if you want 😉
Yes it was the later model designed to be cheaper to make I think, it has the green plastic exhale valve cover.
Is there a safe way to get rid of the asbestos in the vm40
Remove it with tweezers but it's not really a safe method
Ok
A great alternative to an m65 is a Romanian civil mask. Not identical, but very similar.
It's a licensed copy
German gas masks? My, my, how the tables have turned.

WW2 British filters before the LaG didn't have threads they were glued, tied on. LaG is 60mm.

Does the vm40 have the chrysotile ring or have you made tests to be sure its asbestos
Yeah the VM37 and VM40 both have the asbestos ring inside, you can tell it's asbestos from the texture etc.
