patches Posted February 25, 2022 #76 Posted February 25, 2022 This one worn by Sergeant Himmelstoss looks like a mock up, note no Spilt head, rivet for chin strap is too far back, with chin strap being attached inside the helmet in the manner of an M18 Helmet rather than a M16. No visible spit head in rear, and these were thicker that the two in the front which were Flat Faced, the Lug ion tis side s gone too, but that wouldn't be an indication it is a mock up, just the rest on the point outs
patches Posted February 28, 2022 #77 Posted February 28, 2022 A good M35 or M40 by the looks of it in the 1967 movie TOBRUK.
patches Posted March 11, 2022 #78 Posted March 11, 2022 One from a movie called The Battle of Last Panzer, a good M42 it seems.
patches Posted March 17, 2022 #79 Posted March 17, 2022 Two good ones from the Great Escape. A Luftwaffe one on the guy who takes McQueen to the Cooler a couple of times, and a Heer, I think the Swiss Border scenes.
patches Posted March 21, 2022 #80 Posted March 21, 2022 The old M16 with phony decals in Hell is For Heroes, one of the Night Action scenes.
patches Posted April 11, 2022 #81 Posted April 11, 2022 Mock ups form Escape from Athena. Looks like they used the Kriegsmarine wardrobe from the Guns of Naverone LOL.
patches Posted April 23, 2022 #82 Posted April 23, 2022 Some superb stills from a 2015 Estonian movie called 1944, Helmets, Uniforms, Weapons and all.

patches Posted May 2, 2022 #84 Posted May 2, 2022 Warren Spahn the the real life War Hero, and Baseball Great, in a guest star spot in COMBAT, mock up helmet and uniform, the Schmeisser, looks like a MP38, note the fluting on a bit of what is visable, got some kind of Blank Adapter on it right.
patches Posted May 21, 2022 #85 Posted May 21, 2022 Two mock up from Attack and Retreat, the movie on the Italian Army in the USSR.
patches Posted May 30, 2022 #86 Posted May 30, 2022 A Mock Up as we see on Michael Beck as Hans Helms in the 1978 T.V. Mini Series Holocaust, Helms, the older brother of Meryl Streep's character Inga Helms, who marries James Wood's character the Jewish Karl Weiss. Hans Helms is a Pre War serving Heer Infantryman, in the Heer from at least 1935, by the start of the war he's a Gerfeiter or Obergefreiter still, can't find other stills where his rank is seen LOL, he later in the War transfers to the Waffen SS.

patches Posted June 6, 2022 #89 Posted June 6, 2022 From the recent T.V. movie Rommel, a good M42 by the looks of it.
patches Posted June 21, 2022 #90 Posted June 21, 2022 Charlie Chaplin in the Great Dictator when his character was in the Imperial Army in the Great War, on examination it looks to be a mock up, which is odd given the huge amount of real ones in Hollywood, but then there's the one Himmelstoss wears a few years earlier in All Quite on the Western Front, a mock up.
patches Posted September 28, 2022 #91 Posted September 28, 2022 Mock Ups All from What Did You do In The War Daddy.

patches Posted October 14, 2022 #94 Posted October 14, 2022 Possibly a mock up from Saints and Soldiers The Void.
patches Posted November 27, 2022 #95 Posted November 27, 2022 Fred Williams as SS Haupsturmführer Viktor Eberhard Gräbner , Great Still of him as the action begins, helmet looks like the real deal, albeit with decals added. Though Williams, the tall good looking lady killer looks nothing like the historical Gräbner . And who knows if this is what he actually wore right, could of been a few different combinations right, Smock with Plain helmet, a Smock with Helmet cover, a M43 Cap, Camo Tunic and Pants with Sidecap etc etc etc.
patches Posted November 29, 2022 #96 Posted November 29, 2022 Gräbner Und Gräbner, see Williams looks nothing like him. A additional view of the helmet, either a M35 or an M40.
patches Posted December 11, 2022 #97 Posted December 11, 2022 One more Still of Williams and his Helmet, note he wears the wrong shoulder straps, his are Heer Infantry with White Waffenfarbe, the correct ones would be Golden Yellow with Black Under lay for Officers of SS Panzer Reconnaissance Battalions. Also decent views of two of his troops, what is it they wear as Camo, Leibermuster?
patches Posted December 26, 2022 #98 Posted December 26, 2022 These are from The Forgotten Battle from 2020 a Dutch movie, posted Canadians from it in the UK Insigina forum of Formation Signs in Movies and TV. Look real right, and note no Mauser has it's Cleaning Rod.
patches Posted January 1, 2023 #99 Posted January 1, 2023 Corporal LeBeau masquerading as a German for some kind of job, a thoroughly mocked up helmet we see.
patches Posted January 24, 2023 #100 Posted January 24, 2023 Two from a 1971 Soviet film Trial On The Road, real ones by the looks of them, though the Decal on the one wearing the M42 is probably a added phony one.
