So, history buffs are nazis? And just when I thought I'd heard it all...

I don't know if you intended it this way, but to me your comment reads like you're promoting ignorance and making baseless accusations

Given that a lot of war movies try to have the uniforms correct, I think that anyone who likes to watch war movies will have a good idea how uniforms of bygone wars looked like.

That is obviously a much larger set of people than closet Nazi admirers, even in the U.S.

And the previous poster might be an European from a country once occupied by Nazis, or even Germany, where such knowledge is part of the historic memory.

Most Czechs with at least elementary history knowledge could distinguish Nazi helmets from other ones at first sight; the Stahlhelm is a very distinct design and it is part of a very dark memory for us. It had some innocent uses too (Austrian firefighters or Chilean cavalry, IIRC), but it is tainted here forever.

How hard is it to perform an internet search for 'Nazi helmet'? I personally thought the tattoos looked like US army helmets so I did the search to see what a Nazi helmet looks like. Well, it is obvious the "researchers" never performed that research.
