    I'll go for the German helmet...its the most intimadating and evil.

    I own a classic 'Tommy' helmet and the strap kills your chin.
    Its a clumsy helmet but does have its own very British charm.

    well i would pick the british 1 but it wont load :-/ so i'll go for the German 1. The problem with the German 1 is that if u pulled there head back with a bit of force it would brake there neck, as the commandos did in raids :p

    I'd have to say the experimental heavily armored Luftwaffe flight helmet.

    This was worn by twin engine destroyer pilots attacking US bombers and some of the Sturmjäger Fw 190A-8/R-2 pilots in July of 44. Again very few worn as it was incredibly heavy and unkooth but I think it looked rather cool which means nothing. It had more heavy armor in the front forward/top of the helmet to take on .50 rounds.
