When PASGT helmet came in 80's, the American servicemen nicknamed it "Kraut helmet"...Because it looked similar to stahlhelm.

No, you are incorrect. It wasn't the first time GB was bombed.
Great Britain was bombed many times during first world war.

nice pics.

Bro you ever watch the German movie "Stalingrad" from 1993? Really worthwhile to watch it!


I've heard of it but frankly, I haven't watched it yet. Thanks for the recommendation, though!

A good film I've watched however is 1944, featuring soldiers of the 20th Estonian SS Volunteer Division and also Estonians fighting for the Red Army.

Yah watched it and a documentary about the controversy it raised in Poland over the anti-semitic depiction of the Polish resistance in it.

But I thoroughly enjoyed it.

That ones old school. Has to be one of the very few that used so many T-34s in the scenes....and well choreographed too.

The first half of the movie is pretty slow and dull though from what I remember.

The good thing about it was that they didn't showed any bs like many hollywood or Russian movies where 10 soldiers are killing 500-600 German soldiers while they're supported by tanks btw Russian se yd aya have u watched white tiger? :D

Haven't watched it yet but just as Nilgiri I'm aware of the controversy surrounding it in terms of the depiction of the Polish partisans.

The first half of the movie is pretty slow and dull though from what I remember.

I don't think so. There is quite a number of eventful combat scenes over the course of the film. What I find rather funny is that fact that Hänschen klein, a well-known German children's song, was played at the beginning while black and white footages of Hitler and Wehrmacht soldiers in intense firefights were shown and at the ending.

Right now I'm continuing with its sequel, Breakthrough.

One that I really enjoyed was the Finnish one Talvisota (Winter War).

I enjoyed it too. Another film featuring the Finns I like is Tali-Ihantala 1944, though it lacked some action in my book.

Man why German language sounds so cool words like Panzer, Blitzkrieg etc can't wait to learn this language

Breakthrough was pretty mediocre as a sequel, @Nilgiri. More Wehrmacht pictures incoming:

Bear in mind that even though the LSSAH was formed in September 1933, it was not until 22 October 1943 when the unit was officially promoted to a Panzer Division.
