I wonder how much the adolf H autographs go for what a collection , maybe they should stay in a museum if I owned anything like that when I passed away I'd donate it to a museum,great channel

I hope he keeps the Christmas card so I can see it in person!

[@katiemyers4174]

Interesting how well preserved the artifacts are, considering some are nearly 100 years old. Thanks Erik and JD for sharing them with us!

[@babuzzard6470]

1920 is even before the beer hall putch, some really nice and rare stuff there.

[@scottprather5645]

Kind of creepy but interesting a museum is the right place for those items. Totally agree with the commentary that we need to reflect and understand history to avoid repeating it.... which we seem to do over and over again.

[@megancrager4397]

That's because sin e the beginning of time, it was always good vs evil.

[@WatchmyPlaylist.]

@@megancrager4397 and good always wins! Huh? funny how that works. its almost like victors write the history. SCREW this timeline. id rather have seen painter win

[@SlumberBear2k]

it's amazing to think that not only did hitler touch that item, but that he dedicated moments of his limited 56 year life to it. so it is literally connected to a moment in his life. a moment in history. that he even took a couple of seconds to sign it is amazing.

[@CharliRay]

This is one of my favorite museums and I’ve been many times and you’re one of the coolest people I’ve ever met Erik every time I’ve been there you’ve always taken the time to answer any questions I’ve ever had. I haven’t been there since 2015 but I’ve been at least 20 times my son still has the switchblade comb I bought in the gift shop 😅

I had a photograph from a former paratrooper who obtained it at Berchtesgaden. A photo with Hoffman, Munich on the reverse. It had a handwritten signed inscription below a sitting Hitler wearing a double breasted suit. I gave it to a famous British historian who specialized with Hitler during his tenure in office. He said it was a birthday greeting.

[@alistairmay]

Minor point, but Hess didn't fly to England, he crash-landed in near Eaglesham, Scotland, and he was trying to make contact with the British (not English) government, by making contact with the Duke of Hamilton (another Scot). It can seem pedantic to correct you, but it would be a bit like calling Virginia, New York, or Canada the US.

[@megancrager4397]

I didn't take it that way. You didn't correct out of ego, but historical accuracy.

[@stevemartin6144]

His Me-110 crashed. Hess landed by parachute.

[@matthewmcdonald4222]

Yes, he did hang himself in 1987 at the age of 93.

Interesting artifacts. There is always some ambivalence in my mind about collecting Nazi artifacts. My minty K98K is a postwar Czech manufactured example to avoid Nazi markings. Ironically those markings would make the rifle more valuable on the collectors market.

[@Schush]

My buddy has a Kar98 with all the markings...very true it's worth more sans markings.

[@BasilTownLand]

Graphic propaganda. It's fascinating, especially when it comes to natsocs. They branded pretty much EVERYTHING they made. It's interesting to collect just about anything they manufactured. Not to mention how much demand has been surging for the items in the past few years

[@jmgrant6881]

Another very interesting film. But I need to correct Eric on Rudolf Hess. He flew to Scotland and parachuted onto a farm near Eaglesham. He was arrested and taken to London. His motive for doing this was to have a meeting with the Duke of Hamilton, who he believed was a prominent opponent of the British governments war policy. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the content.

[@stevemartin6144]

Hey, Eric can't even pronounce "Adolf" correctly.

[@newbeginnings8566]

Fantastic box openings... I would really like some of those items in my collection - particularly the NSDAP golden badge set .

[@stflaw]

At least you don't have to worry about autopen with autographs from that period.

[@jaredcarrick3468]

The very first treaty Hitler concluded upon becoming Chancellor was with the Catholic Church. Hitler was able to consolidate power and became Fuhrer thanks in large part to the Church and Cardinal Pacelli (who would later become Pope Pius XII) agreeing to vote in favor of the enabling act and disbanding the Centre Party (Pacelli was well aware that the Centre party was corrupt and that democracy in the Weimar Republic was being used as the pretext for socialism, which was the pretext for communism). The Church would then urge Catholics to join the National Socialist Party. Hitler kept in contact with Cardinal Pacelli during his campaigns to discuss a potential treaty with them should he become chancellor. It was basically a promise to fully protect the church from communist attacks and oppression, as well as infiltration by the satanic Freemasons in exchange from the Church’s withdrawal from political influence. The more Pacelli came to know Hitler, the more he viewed Hitler as the potential savior of Christianity in Europe. Pacelli and the RCC were well aware of the atheist communist methods given their history in Russia and Ukraine once the Bolsheviks conquered orthodox Christian Russia to establish the communist regime, which included the wholesale slaughter of all Christians, the clergy etc. and the destruction of all Churches and an outright ban of Christianity. It was also extremely clear from the attempted communist revolutions happening in countless other European states at the time (including Italy, which led to Mussolini’s march on Rome and him subsequently coming to power in Italy, Bela Kun in Hungary, Ibárruri in Spain, etc.) that the communist movements where being funded and supported by the same Bolshevik leaders in Russia who were looking to expand the Soviet Union by either annexing other states or having the other states become their satellites so they could control the whole of Europe. All the garbage you have been told about the National Socialists “oppressing Catholics” in the west is pure communist lies and propaganda. Yes, there were a handful of priests who Hitler had put in the camps due to their communist and Freemason affiliations. That and that alone is all the lying communist western media could point to as their evidence. Hitler even gave a speech calling out the west’s hypocrisy over using that to lie about the National Socialists “oppressing Catholics” while completely ignoring the absolute horrors and atrocities committed by the communist revolutionaries against Catholics and the clergy’s and Churches in the other European states where there were attempted communist revolutions. Hitler would also end up running into some issues with the Church itself in terms of disagreements when it came to the applications of modern science and technology, but they never “persecuted Catholics”. Hitler’s main goal was to preserve Christianity and western civilization in Europe from the impending communist onslaught, and Cardinal Pacelli was well aware of this. Upon hearing of the news of Hitler’s death at the end of WWII, the church gave Hitler a requiem mass and despite the great danger, they helped many National Socialists escape the purges which were then taking place across Europe and provided them refuge and even helped them migrate to South America. These are now known by the communists in the west as the “rat lines” who try to demonize the Catholic Church for these efforts. Everything you have been told about Hitler and National Socialism by your communist media in the west is a lie.

[@barrydysert2974]

A•dof? a•dof? Eric, are You sure the L in Adolf is silent? That's a new one on me. JD, that was an excellent explanation as to why it's so very important to preserve and study these things. It was human nature for those people to believe that they were doing good. With hindsight we can see the evil for what it was. It's rarely that clear in the moment. God guide and bless Us all 🙏💜⚡

To actually see things such as these, which, for instance, The Christmas card, from Hitler. This man that caused such an upheaval in the whole world that is still resonating today actually held this in his hand and wished another person Merry Christmas!!1 The irony is extreme, to say the least. In a totally different direction; I hope you didn't overdue it yesterday with the Turkey and all the trimmings!

Germans were big on Xmas during ww1 when both sides stopped fighting briefly!

Thank you for sharing this video on such historical fascinating items! Why is there a wikipedia entry regarding the "Holocaust" at the top of the page like a warning label? For those interested in real history and the "Holocaust" I recommend reading "The Holocaust Narrative" by Dr E. Michael Jones for a start. Dr Jones is a Catholic author originally from Philadelphia and a prolific author. He also has a live podcast on Fridays at 5 pm EST. The truth fears no inquiry and after all, that is what we are looking for, is it not? The truth cannot be suppressed forever.
