German helmets made into pots and pans
I’ve recently watched some very interesting videos about everyday life in Germany in the immediate aftermath of WW2.
These screenshots are from a film which shows the process of converting German helmets into pots and pans.
Remarkable they captured this on film. The whole video can be viewed on Youtube at the link below. The feature in question is at 10:24. I wonder how many were ‘lost’ in this way?
In addition to that, this next screenshot shows civilians sifting through a pile of discarded German helmets. Perhaps removing some of the leather lining/chinstraps?
