It doesn't take 30 seconds to demolish your poorly researched fantasy, but for you its a life time of making demonstrably false claims to try and sex up the items you wish to sell.
Strange that you try and give the impression that anyone who posts a lot on here is a loser because you are now using your well worn tactic of trying to be last man standing, continually posting one poorly thought out piece of nonsense after another in an attempt to have the last word.
Lets examine the logic of your argument before moving onto some specifics relating to the swastika itself and your claims for it.
1) Germans used the metric system in WW2
2) Swastika is metric
conclusion: Helmet was painted by the Germans in WW2.
This sort of argument is such a starter level logical fallacy that its difficult to express how misguided you would have to be to seriously propose it as proof that this helmet was painted by the Germans in WW2.
If you are not willing to do any research or to learn anything about the things you want to sell, you could at least learn how to structure a valid argument.
But its not only your inability to see the flaws in the logic of your arguments that is a problem. The one "fact" that you claim proves your case is demonstrably false.
You keep claiming its a stencil.
Have you ever tried to use a stencil on a three dimensional surface? It doesn't work so well as say masking tape. Nor is there any evidence of any over spray or any indication of where capillary action takes the paint underneath the edges of the stencil.
There is a reason for this, its because ........
No stencil was used, the swastika was painted free hand.
There are some clear guide marks around the swastika. See the annotated picture for further pointers.
You even claim the mythical stencil was for use on other pieces of equipment, ok then show us. Go on, show us. For once in your career on here, actually do some research and provide some solid evidence for your claims instead of just spiralling off into ever greater realms of made up guff every time you are challenged to prove what you say.
Now you keep claiming that the swastika is geometrical and asking if we know what that means, errr yes I know what it means and it doesn't mean what you think it means,
geometric[ jee-uh-me-trik ]
adjective Also ge·o·met·ri·cal.
of or relating to geometry or to the principles of geometry.
resembling or employing the simple rectilinear or curvilinear lines or figures used in geometry.
of or relating to painting, sculpture, or ornamentation of predominantly geometric characteristics.
(often initial capital letter) Fine Arts.
pertaining to or designating a style of vase painting developed in Greece between the 10th and 8th centuries b.c., characterized chiefly by rectilinear or curvilinear shapes in abstract and human figuration, often arranged in tiers or panels around the vase.
designating a style of Greek sculpture of approximately the same period, exemplified chiefly in small figurines or reliefs having a schematic and generalized treatment of the human form.
noun
a geometric pattern, design, etc.:
an ornate and handsome geometric.
Nowhere in any definition of the word geometric is there anything that backs up your argument that this is period done by a German soldier for use in service, (perhaps you are now claiming this is an ancient greek vase. It wouldn't surprise me if you did) Mainly because the word geometrical does not mean what you seem to think it means. Just to help you out, the swastika is not symmetrical either as I have shown.
Heres another quote for you
QUOTATION: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”
Thats you that is, you are Humpty Dumpty.
