B-9? He's great. Marvin, the paranoid android? Swell! ED-209? No one will park illegally.
That thing is scary!

Were the Please do not jump into the water signs after the Baseball Championship celebration? I remember seeing many video's of fans jumping into the water.
I think so too :)

An old camera shop which was left closed for a long time has been reformed.

German or Chinese?

IMHO rather the Chinese M35 or M40 helmet.

What was the difference between the German and Chinese fritz hats Wojtku?

I have a Spanish one back in NZ, with the badge holder in the front rather than the sides like the German type.

I don't remind myself if the Stahlhelm was made in China. IIRC the helmets were imported from Germany in 30'. They ordered 315,000 M35 steel helmets. It seems the main difference was the colour and the side markings ( decals ) only. The orginal German helmet could be either of the feldgrau or blaugrau colour depending if it was of the Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe. The Chinese ones seem to be mostly of a more greenish paint. If the helmet would be made in China there should be different manufacturer's ID stamps. Also the quality of the headpiece could be the difference as the China is quite notorious of the poor fakes even today.
 
I'm pretty certain this is a modern remake.
 
I agree Chris, looks identical. I just wanted to know if there was a visible (external) difference between the German and Chinese helmets (Dzieki Wojtku).
 
I believe the German helmet was a thicker gauge and the rolled edge along the rim is more robust on the German helmet.
