    Default Karl-Hermann Frank's SS Helmet Sold

    This was a historically significant find--the helmet of Obergruppenfuhrer Karl-Hermann Frank, which was recently discovered (and sold) by Bruce Herman. Just goes to show, "it's still out there."

    Price was not disclosed. According to the site, the helmet was obtained from the vet who accepted Frank's surrender in Pilsen, 1945.

    Yes, and you would most likely be skeptical of a diamond, if you held one in your hand too.
