This episode isn't available on prime video, makes me really upset.

man i watch these and feel so sad about all those places they went to and people they met i wonder how many of those towns are rubble due to assad or how many of those people in syria were killed by isis
Aware_Nebula8305@reddit
I've often thought this. This was realised in 2010/11 ish, ISIS started running rampant a few years later.
I wonder how much of what they've seen in this special is the last documented evidence of it having existed. The Roman arena where they did thier "Roman Nascar" bit is almost certainly gone. ๐

Yes I read that the episode is genuinely valued by historians because itโs likely some of the only HD video in existence of the Roman artefacts.
Whoโd have fought
RedSonja_@reddit (OP)
Yep, not much left there.

Old East German helmet! It looks goofy, but supposedly it's the best non-kevlar helmet design. Originally developed and tested by the nazis during WW2 but never adopted, it became the standard helmet of the National People's Army from the 1950's until German reunification.
You can get them pretty cheap because there were tons made and no longer in use post-1990's.

Didn't he pick up the helmet in the German episode of his 'Meets The Neighbours' programme?

It's called a helmet for a reason.
