Luftschutz Gladiator Helmet

[AndyM35]

First Helmet I ever held in my hand was this type. I was 18 and my eyes got huge when I saw it. I worked at a bank, and one of the Bank Tellers' (Maryanne ... haha I still remember) Husbands brought it in for me to see. He was so proud of it. And I wanted it so bad. Acting entitled .... I thought he was giving it to me. But he said "Nope Pal... this one is mine" His Dad had brought it home from the war. Then he walked out the door and I never thought of Militaria again for 20 years ... until it hit me like a Mack truck

Thanks for the Memory. Nice example

Thanks Zach! Love that story.
They do have a great name and a very cool look to them.
Now you’re going to have to get one.
