Made me smile 😊, 'sneaking up on a german to stick a magnetic mine on his helmet'......good information m8, nice looking helmet and one you dont see often.....good stuff 😊😊😊
Not a fan of this helmet. Being painted inside is usually not good, and the liner looks suspect too. Possibly a woodchip camo if anything. Zimmerit required the paste to be heated after application, or it would take forever to dry.
@@Rob-wl7wc as mentioned in the vid,zimerit had benzene added to keep it in a malleable state,when applied the benzene evaporated and the substance solidified.
Nice to see the zimmerit 42 again with some updated info

What if somebody tried to sneak up on you with a magnetic mine? Well, It wouldn’t hurt to be better safe than sorry 😂
benzin is gasoline in german
Yep,a flammable liquid which evaporates easily
Have you tested if it works with a magnet?.
Yep and it dosent stick
Funny the shape of the helmet, looks like a mix of ww1 and ww2 style.. Early thirties model, perhaps?
@@Wollemand no,its just the camera angle..its an m42
