I was in a militaria dealer's on Sunday and really, really coveted a WWII German army helmet* on display.
I made myself leave the place without asking the price and I've just found a similar one online for about £1500. It wasn't even an SS one.

I'd no idea they could command such high prices. I am very tired and incredibly bored, in case you'd not noticed.


*AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA HELMET!!!!!!!!!!

Did you take your Deacon book into work so you can scan/laminate it?

My mother's uncle
Was in the the SS (says he was a "driver") and when he died they threw all his dress uniforms and medals away.

That NEVER would have happened under the Nazis.

Gutted.
I've got some great military heirlooms but my relatives were on the wrong side.

My family were both.

My Grandad was in the 4th Tank Regiment who were first across the Rhine. Giving it to the Bosch, six of the best, trousers down.
