- I find these different types of helmet nets very interesting! These British style helmet nets were very common among US soldiers during WWII, so I’m happy to have one in my collection!

What’s the purpose of helmet nets? Watch this video to find out! ruclips.net/user/shorts8zcvOwJn3gQ?feature=share
😂😂😂 Bro just casually stab the box
Thank you! Came to the comments hoping for an answer. Plus you answered a years old question of what the heck was in a guy’s helmet netting in Band of Brothers. First aid box!
I think I commented this on your vid about accuracy on the bayonet length in band of brothers, I have an m1 bayonet dated 1942 by u.c (unison cutlery I believe) and I measured it at about 9.6 inch blade with the blood channel/groove going all the way to the end so I'm lead to believe it's a converted bayonet. However my one is shiny with a sort of mirror finish and was just wondering why it's shiny as opposed to dark in colour/blued colour?,
Cheers dude
@@gandalfthegayridestoisenga4870 I’ve seen those shiny ones before, and I’m not positive why they’re like they. I think they may have been reserved for parade and ceremonial use, but I’m not 100% sure. Either way, that’s an awesome item to own!
You literally said British style nets are hard to fine then said you’re probably gonna cut it up and use some smaller pieces bro
Best letter opener ever.
As for helmet nets, I personally like 1 and 2 due to having smaller gaps
Lmao
Agreed
@@Mr_LOWQUAL1TY +1
Yea
Same
Shrimp net will always be my favorite. Dunno why.
Looks like the easiest to weave sticks and leaves through.
SHCRAMP it's because of the name, also the pattern is really eelgant
are you telling me a shrimp made this net?
@@junefranklin458 they’re quite good at knitting and crochet, too. It’s the tiny claws.
Same.
"They aren't very easy to find"
*stabs it with a bayonet*
Keep up the good work👍
Also talks about cutting it
@@ThatRailfan7yeah..this man collects and knows history, but the idea of collecting is to *preserve history, not destroy it*
3 and 4 are my favorite helmets with nets
4 for the win
Same
imo they would be at the bottom of the list
Same
M1 garand: letter opener
IMI GALIL: bottle opener
The South African version of the IMI Galil known as the R4 has a wire cutter and a bottle opener in the folding bipod
FM - 78 & FM - 81, aka the Glock Knife, has a spot on the guard by the back of the blade the opens bottles pretty effectively.
That's not it's designed purpose though.
Thanks, I forgot about the bottle opener...
The bean can opener
My 10-year-old son went to London, England and Normandy, for 10 days with an organization called Bridge to History, Operation Meatball. He discovered your channel is loves it. Thank you for keeping history alive.
For anyone that doesn't wanna watch a whole another video...The nets reduce metal glare and reduce visibility!!! You can always use it to add camo such as grass,leaves and brush to reduce visibility and help hide you from snipers and other enemies.
"Operation market garden-"
HOLY SHIT MARKET GARDENER TF2
My exact thought
You JUST got that?

Very cool dude! Was surprised to see you bayonet the package open! It's cool that a young person has a desire to learn this stuff, and you've informed me a lot. You have my subscription
Thank you!
@@WorldWarWisdom Oh wow! Wasn't expecting you to reply! Nice bayonet by the way
Love that heart helmet. I was a black heart in Afghanistan so thanks for keeping it real bud.
During my service time in the Dutch army in the 1980’s we had the same British nets on our helmets. Also with a big rubber band (cut from a old inner tube) which could better hold branches for camo. We stuck smallers stuff in the net.
Gotta open it in a historical way, lol love it, keep up the great videos.
Style 2 has to be my favorite, I like it not really being flat on the helmet and the holes are small.
I like net style 2 the most, but 3 and 4 is probably the best, as it's easy to put wraps of fabric, leafs and grass on there.
Hmmm market garden.. i heard that name before
"Let me grab my letter opener"
*Pulls out a museum piece*
I’ve never cared about nets and gear as much as I have when this gorgeous man is explaining them
Until recently, I thought the m1 helmet was a single piece helmet that was made of metal. I bought a m1 helmet looking thing thinking it was the metal one but the inside looked like it was made of something else. I was told that the store that I bought it off of was a military surplus store, and so I believed that m1 helmets were made of something else than metal. Fast forward to about a month ago when I saw one of your videos including both the inner and outer layers of the helmet. Then I realized that I had the inner layer, meaning I only had to find an outer layer. If it wasn’t for your videos I never would’ve found out. Thank you
Homie looks so tired, I almost mistook him for a WW2 G.I.
Operation Market Garden you say? hmmmmmmm
SCREAMIN' EAGLES!!!
I do notice that the #1 & #2 takes on the hue of the netting. I agree with the guy who says whatever one fits local foliage would be best. And in that light, the one that, #1 or #2, whichever matches up with the local foliage, if you don't have the time to put any plants in your helmet
Interestingly, the British army is still big on scrimming helmets, often by the use of a small-apertured net underneath. We refer to them as scrim scarves and attach lengths of torn MTP material, Hessian or other mediums onto it. There are scrim loops on the Virtus cover, but they are irregular and leave large gaps in the foliage or scrim.
Funnily enough, the aesthetic of using the net without anything attached to it is reserved exclusively for use by personnel that have done the P-Coy Parachute Course or those attached to Para units. It's not in the regulations, but sort of a gentleman's agreement among our troops, and Paras get quite upset when others use the net-only look.
*man with shovel flying at mach 3 towards you*
Scary
I like No.1, the British style. I really liked that radio in the background. Have you reviewed it previously?
Am I the odd one out? I like 2. Looks like it would blend in better.
And if you placed items in it like leaves they would probably stay easier.
As someone who lives in Arnhem, NL, this is really interesting. I gotta say, Market garden and Airborne are HUGE here in the city. You should come and visit one day during the celebrations and remembrances if you haven't already
New subcriber here. Resly like your video's and your passion making them. I didnt know these helmetnets where kinda rare. Here in Europe you see a lot of them in dumpstores. Never to old to learn! 😄
3. Easier to put plants or burlap through for breaking up the silhouette even more. I also like the contrasting colors.
GTA 5 fans think they have it hard that they haven't got a new game in 7 years, but then there's people like this who waited 80 years for a new version
I can't decide between 1-2. They both look pretty cool.
My fav is 1 because it seems tighter and more secure
Nr 1 for sure
Best for camo
By far, number 2's holes are too small to add scrimmage properly and the others gaps are too big for scrim to be effective.
Don’t let him buy another helmet net or he’ll use a m2 flamethrower to open the letter
I was just thinking about those
Yeah..only bad thing about this channel is thag he doesnt really care that the original pieces he is using are going broken, he destroys and uses them till theyre broken. Use repros for things that can go broken!
Normandy style (specifically 4) will always be my favorite.
4 goes the hardest and is most iconic. But I like the British one too!! Othered are alr but I think 4 looks the cleanest.
I like the shrimp net the most. I feel it would be the easiest to attach branches, leaves, or other foliage to when needed.
I was going to say 3 because to me it looks the most natural, the top 2 look to clean
I prefer the helmet cover Sgt. Sanders used in the TV show Combat! It was a piece of camo parachute cloth. 😉👍
Definitely one is my favorite I love World War II stuff too so and I’m 10 years old and I love watching your videos
I like the Normandy style the best, but I actually do really enjoy the British version
I have 6 of them, in the 82nd ABN DIV, early 90's, we called them yeti nets, scrim nets or desert scarves. This weas before Shemaghs.
Personally i like the Normandy style but my personal favorite helmates are they guys who jps into southern france and there paint/net cammo jobs
3 & 4 Normandy style because i can fit grass, shrubs and bushes for solid camouflage.
4 looks clean. Idk how to explain it but it scratched an itch in my brain
Nice letter opener
Definitely 4. Just because it’s the most iconic net
Style 3 and 4 are best for attaching foliage to helmet.
Scrim net as we called it back in the day, used for camouflaging your weapon, concealing your op, even keeping your neck warm….. everyone had them….. great piece of kit
Normandy style is my favorite.
I think net 3 looks best. It also seems easiest to attach things to. Maybe to break up the silhouette of the helmet.
I like Normandy style, but I'd happily take any.
The letter opener for me pretty good, haga
I LOVE that Garande bayonet letter opener!😉👍
I like the Normandy style best.
They're all cool though.
Those nets weren't originally designed to be placed on helmets. They were designed to be like a canopy. However, it was really bad camouflage. So, they put them on helmets.
My favorite net is the super wide helmet nets used by some units in the PTO (also shows up in other theaters), particularly the 7th Infantry Division.
What is the purpose of the net? Storage of items?
1 and 2 seem to break up the shine of the helmet a bit better though base paint also is an important factor
Shrimp net just fits right 3 and 4 seem too big
I cant decide, 1 and 4 show less metal of the helmet but 3and 4 can use bigger ghillie material for breaking up the shape of the helmet
I like the look of 1 and 2 but 3 and 4 are the best. i like 4 the most because they are better for combat.
This may be a video about war but i got my ptsd activated when i heard "market garden"
“My letter opener”
*pulls out a f*cking bayonet*
Because a triangular bayonet wound is impossible to stich up
Which was the purpose of the Nest? Maybe camouflage? To getting involved with the ekements? To get fashioned with the olive colors? To put things on it? Like the paratroopers did it?
Tough choice! I gotta go with #3, it’s something my great-grandfather would have worn on D-Day.
British clean and well good sized holes and the colour goes well
I like the Normandy style
My friend, your quickly becoming ine of my favorite channels. Keep up the great content 👏
4 allows for more and larger camo to be added
bro i always wanted ww2 stuff like that out of all the helmets of ww2 the m1 grand helmet is my fav
#2 the shrimp net
Looks the least likely to snag on anything important... like the knobs on your rifle
4 & 1 are my favorites
I think I was big because it was issued to British soldiers who had broadie helmets
4 is the best in my opinion, it just LOOKS like a WW2 net- yes, they’re all nets used in WW2, but it looks most like what we all think and see in photographs.
Eyyyy 502nd helmet! This weekend i got a 502nd Bloody Gulch reenactment myself!
i think bcs it has smaller holes, the fish net is my favorite
1 and 2 are my favorites
Definitely number 1 as I’ve got one on my jump helmet
HE SAID MARKET GARDEN, TF2 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
YES
#4 and then #1
2 and 3 have a very Pacific theater vibe
Ya 1 and 2 are the way to go plus if you had to could be use full in a survival kit if dropped somewhere
I think 3 and 4 look the coolest
the purpose for helmet nets is because it is better for blending in and from the suns reflection from the helmet
I like 3, the Normandy style
as soon as you said letter opener i was like "tell me it's a bayonet"
One and two in my opinion look the best
2 and 4 are the best looking
number 2 is may favorite
best decision i ever made was subscribing to you dude. i love your videos and have been so interested in world war 1 and 2 era of US history since i was young. thanks for spreading these awesome videos:) i love your fun facts/did you know about this [ ww2 item ]!!
Bro stabbed the box 💀
Save your scraps. They make great rattle can camo stencils.
I actually have my grandpas old ww2 m1 helmet, it’s cool
M2*
Iisten I like three because I played the original cods and those were the kinds of net in game for real life 2 small holes
I have quite the collection of helmets myself here’s the ones that I have
-ww2 Swedish army helmet
-modern German FAST helmet
-Vietnam era American helmet
-three ww2 American 1m pots
-British Brodie helmet
I like 2 it covers more area
Although I forgot the purpose of them so I can't say exactly
They are used for weaving bits of bush, shrub and foliage onto helmets
@@royalguard2021 plus, even without adding anything else, they break up the helmet's artificial shape and reduce any light reflecting off it
It’s called a Skrim net, they are very easy to find
I like the normandy ones a bit more but the british ones not bad.
1 looks pretty classic
The Normandy style just reminds me of the movie 9. I think that is the net style the helmets actually have in that film but I wouldn’t know. Would be fun if you did a break down of the film and all the military stuff that’s scattered about in it.
It's either 3 or four. But I think I'll choose 3.
i think this was how duglas mcarthur opened his paciges
