The Wehrmacht Abandoned all these WW2 Relics

We visited a German WW2 site and went home with a crate full of relics, all left behind by the Wehrmacht. You don't need a metal detector at this location. WW2 history is everywhere here!

I really wish I was in a position to be a Patreon and to buy a small piece of history from you, unfortunately I am not able to do either, but I will certainly be liking and sharing your videos, I am an absolute fanatic for history, especially the the early 1930s-1980s, my real interest is from pre WWII to the early post war and within that era I love everything military aviation. Thanks again for sharing your hard work, knowledge and understanding of your finds, I learn something new to learn in every episode. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@garykomppa3642]

Wow this is amazing. This generation needs to remember the history of the relics you find or we will repeat history. Remember we know not what weapons WW3 will be fought with but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones. May the great peace last for generation to generation and our children know not the fear or war. Love and light to all.

[@Pantheragatos]

At 7:36 I see you're wearing the screaming eagle on your jacket there. Cool. I was stationed there in the military. Great finds btw. I would love to find some of those plate parts. It's amazing to see you guys finding all of those relics.

[@klausbaumann9293]

A gold mine of WW2 history.. I can't believe how much you found in such a short time....

[@Blueomicron]

You need to take the time to put the porcelain together because you may end up with a complet plate which means picking up the small bits to do this. Metal is not the only other treasure!

[@bartschwartz7217]

They were told to dump anything that would incriminate them and to lighten your loose on retreat or capture

[@ericshelly2518]

You are partially correct. They dumped their gear to move faster. The incriminating theory is wrong. My grand father was a Wehrmacht soldier and they tossed every but food. They literally threw weapons in the woods because they didn’t want a firefight. They just wanted to surrender

[@Torey777]

[@thommothomason7297]

I sure do enjoy watching you guys excavating these sites. Those grunts threw that Stuff away and thought nothing of it, and now when you dig it up, we can see what regular life was like by what they dumped there. Great stuff Man.

[@koron9435]

about the "nametags": i instantly thougt of the nameplates used on doorbells of big houses (im pretty sure those not an "only in germany thing") also with the plates and razor and so on id quess its just stuff from some kind of appartment building jet, lockers seem plausible as well

[@daimlerbenzstuttgart]

Were you near a city? Maybe after Germans left the town dumped everything in the woods that belongs to the germans? Especially since you didn't find any ammunition, bullets or war related items. Really Awesome finds and video!

[@getin3949]

If you were to use a ceramic tile saw (with water cooling) you could make salable relics of the bottoms of the bowls and plates. Wouldn't take much work and could bring in some money for your trips.

[@jasonfrazer8214]

You must be digging where an old barracks building was or similar. Mess hall equipment, locker tags, locks. Not field items. Awesome place!

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

I think so too! Lots of potential there.

[@aerlial360]

I'm shocked this stuff is just laying on the ground after 80 years! By the way, did you guys ever think about taking a visitor with you? I'm a serious WWII buff and want very badly to come to Europe to do this very thing. I would pay and cover expenses and perhaps others would too. It may be a good way to bolster your expenses to do on occasion. Not a group, just one person or two on occasion. Thanks for the great video!

Where are you from, if i may ask?

[@donaloregan7481]

I agree! Im Irish and am fascinated with this hobby and what you recover. I commend anyone also who retrieves the dead to give these soldier's the burial they deserve. Those men were warriors and died by being obedient. Cool relics guys. Namaste🙂

[@williammccaslin8527]

You need to make a sifter box an bring it with you for doing these digs. Thx for the vid.

[@aserta]

If you ever do other digs that are in similar soil, bring the netting bag from a potato/onion bunch with you. Drop the dirt in and then wiggle it until nothing but the big stuff is left. Bring two or three with you, as they can break eventually.

[@howardsmith9342]

It looks like you have a trash dump. I have seen many of these in the western US, and they contain exactly this--bottles (usually broken, but some whole), broken dishes, tin cans, odds and ends of household and personal items, etc. One item to note, on the dates on the plates-- that's when they were made, not when they were dumped there. But you most certainly have a dump of some type of habitation, probably an army camp. Maybe a field kitchen, since there are so many broken dishes

[@ACAdventures]

Nice to see it kn the video now! That place has much potential. You can find there everything! Keep up the good work guys! Best regards AC

Do you ever attempt to piece back together the porcelain plates you are finding? I imagine that the pieces are all located near each other, and once you get them cleaned up they should go back together with superglue pretty easily.

A screen would be great for digging those dumps. I dig in a WII one near here. All the trash from downtown Honolulu during the War years. I've found some WWII American stuff, buttons, badges, coins. My only Indian Cent, 1889, 14kt wedding band. I get an attitude problem sometimes and want to dig older. I found a button of the Republic of Hawaii National Guard-c1895. It's a fun Hobby and I advertise the screens I make for diggers in American Digger. They are about 35x57 cm and 10cm deep, oak & stainless.

Did you notice the Weimar, as opposed to Nazi eagle, on the bits of 1935 plates? No swastika, and as a matter of fact wonder if modern plates are marked similarly. But 1935 of course an important date in Germany for many reasons.
