Very grateful for your extremely intersting film , my father was a seaman in ww2 sank off newfoundland ok

how usually catched. Usually lie and a war story.

In german it's called "Leichenfledderei"

Leipzig most certainly wasn’t the third largest city in Germany.

Great video, just subscribed!!

Pristine condition...poor guy didn't wear it much. The leather blackens fairly quickly. Funny thing though...if a German has a "souvenir from someone who didn't need it anymore" or "some home they went through" they're called "looters"...if an American has it, it's just a "souvenir"? That Firebrigade helmet could fetch some serious money if it would be complete...shame he lost the visor. My grandad was on rhe eastern front from '41 until '45...he brought back some russian leaflets...nothing that belonged to a dead guy. I guess some people just lack piety...what the dead don't need no more...you wouldn't need either. Leave it there.....

non credo quella corada sia sua "stata aggiunta successivamente"

Chilli still uses the German helmet and uniform

The truth is that you stole everything from Germans and Japanese soldiers and country’s.

A nice helmet for sure. Heer version.

Sometimes the germans used chickenwire.

I have the same in a very good condition. One of our brave soldiers! Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!

He looks white

Imagine if it was a Japanese soldier joking about taking a helmet from a deceased American soldier. Suddenly it's 'unacceptable' to say something like that.

The term used should be stolen or looted .

My father ( 1st sqd., 1st plt., B Trp., 91st Rcn Sqdn. 6Jun43-10Oct45 ) always said that the German helmets were better designed and easier to wear than the US “pot.”

I have one on right now 😜

Excellent video Ben! I look forward to seeing more in the future!

Awesome artifacts, Ben! If that M42 could talk! Let's pan over to that pea dot camo jacket.... 😎 -Bronson

All those German Helmets lying around after WWII. They even made calendar's out of them and sold them for 98 cents in post war Germany. Now if you are lucky enough to have one. It is worth $700.00 plus dollars each on the present market. I noticed that one of the first things German POWs lost was their Helmet. You will not see many POWs still wearing them in photos after the war. Same with the German 98 K Mausers. The Americans were stacking them up and pouring gasoline on them and burning them as the German POWs gave them up. Now adays if you can find one under $2000.00 on the gun market you are real lucky. Many are in t he 4-5 K price range.

This is all stolen!

visit a speech therapist my guy. Should be priority number one.

veteran states that he looted the house to get that second fire helmet

I Wish the Germans had kept the ww1 pickelhaube,,so Iconic and cool

I am in the northeast and want to do something like this also. Can you tell me how you are going about finding the ww2 veterans that are still alive please. I have to do this before they are all gone. Thanks, cool video

The helmet looks like it is from WWI. Even has the holes on its side for the trench visor

They created medals to stop soldiers from looting the enemies dead

Great Video! Its increadible to see Mr. Haberman recounting his story of getting it! much better than the many terrible souvenirs coming out of the pacific theater! Also cool to see you know your Stalheims😄

Superbe ❤...Merci à Vous ❤

Great job, 🎉I love this ww2channel, keep up the good work 👏 🙌

I bet he rarely gets a chance to tell this amazing story. Thanks, Bill for my freedom. I hope we can keep it.

Great to hear your wonderful story, Jim! What a good guy you are. :) The world will really be hurting after the greatest generation leaves us. I don't think we can hold this together without them and people like Jim.

Love your enthusiasm for history 👍

I'm not an artifacts expert but I've seen people handling artifacts with white cotton gloves on. Thanks for sharing our history, great job 👍

Thank you Ben , I had 3 uncles in WWII , ONE DID NOT MAKE , BUT THE OTHERS DID . PEACE FOR US ALL !

They were and still are and will always be, the greatest generation.

There was a video made of this man returning to Peleliu with a fellow marine veteran and a former Japanese soldier. I can’t seem to find a link to it right now, but it’s worth looking for if you’re interested. It was titled something along the lines of “Former Enemies return to Peleliu” Edit: Found it ua-cam.com/video/JZ0eiXeYt4c/v-deo.htmlsi=AlAHUYREzh9BYOru

I have a lot of respect for these wwll veterans, because they went through a lot, and saw a lot of thing's that most people can't imagine. I had two grandpa's that were in wwll, my paternal grandpa was the sergeant of an anti tank unit, and fought in Normandy, and the battle of the bulge. My maternal grandpa, who was my best friend, was a medic, and saw a lot of really bad wounds, and was also at Normandy. He went on to help liberate a concentration camp, and captured a German ss soldier, and he brought home the guy's luger, swastika arm band, and the ss bars from his uniform. My grandpa became a medic, because he didn't want to kill anyone, and couldn't believe that any human could do such horrifying thing's to another human. He told me about what he saw in that concentration camp, and it was grim. He also told me a story about sitting on a bucket, smoking a cigarette, and deciding whether to finish his work load, or wait and sit for awhile. He decided to finish his work detail, and got up, and a young 18 year old soldier took his place. Less than five minutes later, they were bombed, and the young soldier on the bucket was hit, and blown to pieces. My grandpa said that from then on, he would do what he had to do, instead of what he wanted to do, and he would be okay. He thanked the Lord for saving him, and believed it was a miracle he wasn't killed. G-d bless.

Good job man! I found you by accident and I subscribed

I clicked on this because the wording and color scheme and title and look very similar to the history underground channel, plus j.d. does a lot of content like this. I wonder,was all this an accident? Anyways, I guess I'll stay for your video and if I like your channel I will subscribe.

My first cousin once removed was with the 101rst, and jumped onto Normandy the night before D-day. Sweetest guy you ever met!

Thank you sir God bless

I love world war history so thank you for making this video and to all the veterans thank you for your help for America

RIP to Jim Fantozzi, so glad to have called him my great great uncle. I may not have known him too well but he was an incredible man.

thanks ... this interview is one your best.

Héroe!

SO MOVING

George Head, USMC, Peleliu. George ran a printing shop in Catonsville, Maryland. I was a newly minted 2 LT neighbor. Not sure if we met before or after Vietnam? He treated me with such respect when in reality it was he who deserved mine.

I don't get it we are just one big family its called the Human Race.

You know what Anzacs say . In the morning and at the going down of the sun . We shall remember them . Lest We Forget.😂❤😅
