Video: The Production of the Stahlhelm

[Adravor]

Hello Forum,

I dont know if this has been posted before, but here is an Origina propagandal Video showing the production of german helmets. Is a really intersting, as its giving more insight in the production of the helmets we all collect!

Also note the bullet test in the last section of the video, absolutely not realistic, an K98 bullet would have probably gone straight trough at this angel.



And here another interesting Video, same fashion, different country. The same video but in the Communist Version, made with the Stahlhelm M56.

Been posted many times but always good to see it again. I've always like the decal application. And for the first time I noticed that when the helmets were hung up, they appeared to be hanging by a chinstraps. It was always my understanding that the chin straps were not added at the factory but at the depot level...but this is just something I read many years ago.
