>He talks of his battalion rescuing a regiment of American paratroopers, who were under siege, almost out of ammunition and getting ready to die when the Australians arrived.
>"When the Yanks saw our big hats they let out a cheer because they thought we were Texans!" he grins. "We sailed into the enemy so hard they withdrew.
>The American commander was so grateful that when he went home he fenced off part of his ranch, and put up a sign and an Australian flag.
>you will never have a band of brothers loyal to God, Fatherland and Emperor all rocking awesome mustaches

They are (mostly) used only in Carinthia. There is no reason to use this type post-2000 because it is very inferiour to other types.
>>53269547
We love those :3
>>53273193

For fire fighting

>>53273394
these are best looking helmets
>>53273859
literally the reason of every single italian failure in war
>>53273735
No, to destroy energy of parts falling on your head. The helmet is made out aluminium, not only to be light wight, but also to be softer - so less impact energy reaches your head.
Nowerdays Gallert F1 type helmets are mostly used.
>>53273991
Forgot pic (Gallet F1)
>>53273991
are there many fires in austria?
>>53273954
I agree, it's because there is an Italian beneath the beret
>>53273810
Step aside plebs. Master helmet coming through.
Everything we could get our hands on, so it was mostly donations and whatever the Soviets were wearing while they were still alive.
Later in the war we started getting German helmets IIRC

>>53274195
~100 a day, don't know if that is alot. But we have many firebrigades and firefighters: 4500 fire brigades, 300000 firefighters (mainly volunteer).

Pith hat/helmet
No armour protection whatsoever, just for sun and intimidating lesser races
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pith_helmet
>>53275540
You read regularly that the spike was supposed to deflect vertical strokes with sabres on the center of the helmet.
If it was effective in any way I have absolutely no idea, but I also think it looks awesome.
>>53275626
yeah they werent very big. you could fit 4 in the back 1 driver (front) and 1 gunner to the left of the driver.

Did they put that spine on that helmet because of the romans helmet had it, or because of some other reason
