very sad to see

I have always found the use of such items post war very intresting. Thanks to all the members who have contributed here.

nothing sad about it... the people where in great need of materials after the war and made the best out of every item they could re-use.
This is also one of the main reasons why we can call finding an original untouched helmet pretty rare. It managed to escape from being used for something else.

Even better, I like some of the reuses very much. Especialy those gas cannisters. Also tips of panserfaust are used for cups, the stielhandgranate cups etc etc. you can see some on that picture aswell.


Nice video by the way, thanks for sharing, hadn't seen that !
