Genuine WW2 German helmets are on sale all the time at Auctions in the U.K.  They also sell at Antique Fairs, there are lots of collectors for them.  So, what is all the fuss about?

The fuss is that they aren't genuine or from the time, they are new. Hence the name is not the best choice for them.

Tesco was founded by a Jewish entrepreneur - Jack Cohen.
Don't think he would have approved somehow!
