The universe gave me the opportunity to finally get my hands on a much-wanted German Stahlhelm. Luck was also on my side as the Stahlhelm came with a Pickelhaub.

Even though well over a century has passed, it is clear this place took a lot of hits from the Belgians.

Looking from Belgian bunker across the former No Man’s Land to the German bunker just a few dozen meters away.
During the Great War the area where the two men were walking was a giant crater, blown by the Belgians to stop German raids.
