German Stahlhelm (Steel Helmet)..still taboo?

TomServo · Post by **TomServo** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:17 pm

I see bikers wearing the DOT approved helmets...but the real ones? Are they really disturbing? They've been made a symbol, but their history pre-dates the nazis. I'm curious to see how people feel about them...or don't feel about them. I'm bringing mine, regardless..but have a helmet cover, to hide the decals. Don't want to offend, but is part of my "American Dream" theme. What is your opinion? I'm also bringing my pickelhaube..if that offends you, too fucking bad! Peace!

I know I have that behind me, but am more concerned about freedom from P.C. Im not going to piss peeple off, just want to know how sensitive peeple are. Though I tend to get drunk, so that probably wont matter. just curious

Attach a big dildo to the top of it, and still no one will care.

The dildo might create some interesting conversations, also.

If it is "original", don't bring it.
Don't bring anything that is not replaceable..

It is likely to be coveted and ripped off your head....

I won't bring my ancient original Pickelhaube either.

things disappear, people piss in your camp, etc.

next we'll see see folks requesting comments on wearing Grand Dragon KKK outfits to the playa.....

TomServo · Post by **TomServo** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 7:39 pm

I have a safe. And they wont go in the safe, till they leave my head. Its secured to my truck, so don't think is gonna disappear, without my truck. Then, the helmets are the least of my problems.

TomServo · Post by **TomServo** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 7:43 pm

cowboy, thats down right ignorant. The KKK is pretty much straight forward. The Stahlhelm, as I said before predates the nazis..it was such a good helmet, that the U.S. military adopted the stahlhelm (sallet) style. And if a pickelhaube upsets you, your just stupid.

I'm gonna guess that yall are referin to the PASGT.. there is a suspension upgrade about that increases comfort. Large maxi pads also do the trick.

Hey, I was just making a joke, but Tom you sound really serious.

What it is the statement that you are really making about wearing the helmet.

And this is America, speak AMERICAN!

Well, most of the symbols that folks associate with the Nazis are pretty charged, but what the hell, a lot of what made America a war superpower has roots in Nazi actions, Nazi technology, Jewish scientists run out of das Vaterland by the intolerance and bigotry the Nazis fomented, so maybe it is also a symbol of America, ja?

It is not like that lil ole helmet had anything at all to do with the inexorable goose-stepping towards a military buildup, a power grab by a right-wing xenophobe and subsequent war that killed 60 million Allied people. The swastika was around thousands of years before the Nazis. It isn't guilty of 70 million deaths either. Poor lil swastika. Poor lil helmet.

See ugly and tom, you don't see a joke when I posted it and then someone would have to come and ruin our fun by getting all technical and stuff!

Your helmet made it's appearance when we kick your nazi ass the first time! Really, if you guys had a little humor in your genes then maybe we could have avoided two wars in the first place! lighten up and take some drugs like acid and go look at the flowers in the country!

I like the helmet in Spaceballs! It's really huge- like my balls.
