What are you talking about? Hard hats were around before WW2. They were in use during the contruction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s.
The first Hard Hat was patented in 1912.

Ah yes, another "historical mistake" found not to be a mistake at all.

Although this is a very pressing issue in need of attention, I believe that there are more things that need to be modified before we can get down to the fine tuning of hardhats and their historical uses.
By the way, I don't believe the widespread use of ellipses came into effect until around 1892. |
