If it works. This is just a testament to German engineering.

The Mercedes that Hitler was driven around in used round wheels and tires made of rubber. I couldnt believe it when I realized that Mercedes STILL uses round wheels and tires made from rubber. Clearly, this is a secret tribute to Adolph Hitler, right?
Spread the word on Tic Tok, ban Mercedes for secretly supporting Hitler!

The stahl helmet is a good design. It covers the neck and doesnt obstruct the ears but still protects them. The US M88 is influenced by it. So much so the the adoption by the Dutch Army stirred some controversy as people saw it as a German helmet.

That’s not really a WW2 shape. That’s a WW1 shape.
The ‘coal scuttle’ shape dates back to the 1916 [*Stahlhelm*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stahlhelm) (literally, ‘steel helmet’) introduced to replace the spike-topped *Pickelhaube*.
Firstly, the rough form of the WW2 helmet was already designed and in use during WW1.
Secondly, most modern helmets derive from that design, as it is functional.
Third, no its not the WW2 helmet, it’s developed fairly later and is just similar to the mentioned helmet, as a lot of modern things have a similar predecessor that changed the whole design of a thing.

they are also using more modern helmets and afaik firefighters are organised on a local level what helmet they use might depend on the city and its financial ressources and whether it’s a professional force or comprised of volunteers who might use older equipment

You can still see the design echoed in the M92 [*Gefechtshelm*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gefechtshelm_M92) combat helmet, still standard issue for the modern German army.
