Who had the Best Helmet? Time to liven Things up!

Who Had the Best Helmet of World War Two?

Things are a bit flat on the board lately. I don't like playing the straight man, Boy I'm really asking for it, so I thought I'd liven things up with this poll, If you're not laughing at this point no one can help you .

 

The Germans, Their helmets were designed to protect from the rear view- upper view. And in fact the Americans even use their helmet designs today.

 

Are those your collectibles

 

Yes they are. Along with my iron crosses and HJ dagger.

 

Excellent, Double decal?

 

Yes,



Another helmet in my collection.

 

Also I see an SS helmet. That Double Decal?

 

i'm not sure, probably! I won em at a WW2 convention.

 

That's a nice collection...beaucoup bucks...hang on to that its better than gold...price just keeps going up.

 

I also have this type of helmet:



I think it is a desert battle helmet.

 

I'd have to go with Germany too, better neck protection, and they were just plain cool looking.

 

An Afrika Korps Helmet. Any firearms?

 

No, I have no guns. Only daggers.

 

Lugers, P-38s, Broom Handles, PPs, PPKs, K98 snipers, G43/41s all highly collectible especially if the serial numbers match.

 

All things I do not have.

 

You said it's your collection. Just pick up the helmet and look on the other side. You must be sure. No probably required.:mellow:

 

It's double decal, I just didn't know what decal was until herrborest explanined it to me.

 

PZ Don't worry about Plant-Pilot. He spent too much time with the evil weed bouncing up and down in that M-3 of his. He should of had one of those early war Panzer hats with the padding

 

I went for the German helmet on the grounds of neck protection. The subsequent adoption of a similar shaped helemt by the US I think shows the merits of this design. Had the criteria been looks then I'd have been looking for a 'none of them' option as I don't think that any helmets look good; to my mind soldiers look much better if they wear soft headgear when away from combat zones.
