My grandfather is responsible for downing 15 German aircraft during the war.
Worst mechanic the Lüftwaffe had.
I think that helmet is just being awkward and autistic. Cut it some slack.
How do you know this helmet belonged to a Nazi? /s
Lot of Nazi sympathizers replying to this
If only more Americans had this sentiment.
You need a Tesla sticker for it.
It’s not impossible that that helmet belonged to the grandfather or great grandfather of some redditor who sees this picture.
Are you sure that guy wasn’t just autistic?
M42 helmet with an army/Heer decal, if legit then probably worth several thousand dollars. Especially if it has a liner inside
“Im sure there were good men on both sides” – MAGA supporters
Look out , you just triggered a whole bunch of trump supporters.
Hey, a Tesla helmet! How much ya want for it?!
My grandpa has stolen an officer’s hat. My dad kept it in the basement of our house thinking some day it would be worth money
I really want that to be a bullet hole.
The new US Nazis would pay a lot for that.
The cross is at the wrong angle (49), so this is clearly a Roman helmet.
Do you research sheeple /s
Gramps looting the enemy after dispatching them is pretty cool. Especially when done to a Nazi.
Spoils of war, your grandfather was a hero. Not all hero’s wear capes some just shot Nazis dead.
It must fit Elon Musk perfectly
Your grandpa is my hero! Thanks for honoring his sacrifice to go to war for humanity. He truly was a leading role in the Greatest Generation.
The only good kind indeed.
I couldn’t even touch that fuckin thing. But I’m damn glad it came from a dead one. Agreed. The only good kind.
First class that to the Tesla headquarters
Pretty sure thats a Roman helmet
Elon dropped it
I disagree.
Dying nazis are also good nazis.
Roman helmet*
Oh look – it’s the MAGA hat of the 1930-1940s…
The only good kind.
The best kind of nazi.
“My head goes to you! <3”.
– The nazi, probably.
I dead Nazi that coming!
Ha! I made the same comment and got a Reddit warning for “threatening marginalized or vulnerable groups of people” 😩
I know someone with a looooot of money who will pay top dollar for that!
My grandfather used to say, “the only good nazi is a dead nazi.”
What a beautiful dead nazi hat. It doesn’t get any better than that. Let’s hope his services was not in vain. More dead nazi hat, Please!
People who idiolize nazism today, I could agree with your statement
This helm probably came from a young guy that had nothing but propaganda fed to him his entire life and died a stupid death before his life could really start because of it
Thanks grandpa!
Sell it to Elon so his cosplay is complete.
Yeah, my Grandpa that fought in Europe took a Luger and Holster off a dead Nazi officer. The 80th Division only moves forward!
That’s a fine latrine right there
same as orcs…only good dead.
My uncle had a Luger and a captains hat he was going to give me but his son sold it right after he passed
Elon’s helmet
Well. Judging to the news there’s some great bittersweet news… Two birds with one stone?
The only good nazi is a dead one
Your grandpa is a badass.
