Making pots from German helmets in 1946

Museum in Amsterdam. One a colander, the other a chamber pot.

This seems a bit morbid. Why not melt them down? Probably cheaper this way. Any idea what company produced these?

Beating their swords into plows vibes

Honestly, this is quite a waste. Those helmets were ahead of their time when it came to protection. Countries should've taken the design, changed a couple things so it doesn't look exactly like the stahlhelm and then make it a standad issue helmet cuz it gave such good protection

Everyone of them mf pots haunted lMfao

OMG how many pots are still out there made from Nazi helmets?

Not sure how I feel about this.. Maybe melt them down to form something else less conspicuous, not sure straining veggies with a German helmet has them warm fuzzy feels 😬

“Why does my soup taste of iron?” “The pot is an old helmet.” “No… it’s not that… Bloody hell, the answer is on the tip of my tongue…”
