Third Reich Treasure digging | A WW2 journey

[@stauni2]

The WHW badge you called a „Wolf with a hat“ in the end of the video refers to the old German fairytale „Der gestiefelte Kater“ (The tomcat with boots on) by the Brothers Grimm.

[@harryraam9566]

We have it similar in Dutch. De Gelaarsde kat.

[@stauni2]

@@harryraam9566 Bedankt. That‘s interesting. As far as I remember the Grimm Brothers didn‘t write the tales but collected them. Maybe Der gestiefelte Kater has its origin in the Netherlands. Greetings

[@diwi1942]

Wow, neat finds. How do you divide the finds?

[@RHINOWINOLUNATIC]

The WHW badges are "WinterHilfsWerk" badges. It was a scheme organising clothing and food for troops and civilians during the war. The different metals were a way of knowing how much you had donated and how much more or less than your comrades or neighbours had given. Gold is more than silver while bronze is the lesser one. It could be seen as a matter of pride or bragging.

[@h4mmers3x]

5:15 It says "Messertuch" which is a cleaning cloth for a knife. The letter "long S or ſ was a form of the lowercase letter "s" back in the day in germany.

[@LeicaPunk]

And for all those who think "why does anyone need a towel for knives". In the past knives where mostly made out of normal steel, not stainless steel. So cleaning them could cause the towel to turn brown of the rust and you dont want to clean the rest of your dishes with this towel :)

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Cool, didnt know!

[@Chrisssy2112]

It’s so fascinating all of the WHW badges you lads found! Keep up the awesome work you’re doing. 👍😊

[@mr.niceguy1812]

Watching this turns me into a jealous child at a toy store, "I wanna be there, i want that!" Insert pouty emoji. Seriously lads, you're living my dream! Cheers from Canada!

[@felixsteiner2520]

Hi guys, pretty cool finds. The small soldiers and artillery guns made out of plastic are WHW items. The bigger metal soldier figures are home casted toy figures. The company Schneider from Dresden made the moulds they are casted with.

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Cool to know about the metal soldiers! Thanks!

[@martinn6333]

At about 10:20 into this video the drone shot shows what is now peaceful bush and forest but in WW2 this area could have been one of many “hells on earth” at that time. Lets not forget 😢 (... but keep the great videos coming 😊)

[@cathybenson5119]

I use Guterman sewing thread all the time. Lol. 😁😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@skyvic09gaming21]

That WHW badge with Reichenberg. In present, it is a Czech city of Liberec near borders with Poland and Germany.

[@ehayes5217]

Inserting actual pictures of the various artifacts being found certainly helps one to envision that item, thanks!🇺🇸

[@andrewsmith590]

13:31 Who else just suddenly got hungry and made themselves some spaghetti-os 😆

[@glennahoopes2895]

in ww1 they used horses to move their artillery!!

[@joebrown1382]

Wow you guys found some awesome treasures. How did all this come from one big hole?

[@Buecherwurm_8]

5:17 Messertuch cloth/towel to clean knifes.

[@ehayes5217]

I didn't even know these items existed, so thank you!🇺🇸

[@Tobi202]

Messer Tuch? for cleaning knifes and bayonette

[@stineberg2440]

"knife cloth" separate cloth for cleaning the razor from foam and whiskers..

[@nonamenet6472]

I got a metal detector and maybe an hour away there’s a civil war or World War II battleground that I want to check out. Never had the chance but maybe this summer I can try

[@Madsen-by1hy]

[@ashleypatrono6069]

I love watching you guys! Your very fortunate to have ground that rich in historical artifacts! I love metal detecting!

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for the support Ashley!

[@haffrods7055]

I'm amazed how much cool stuff is there. I enjoyed this video

[@kamil08]

Cool stuff. That "Danzig - Krantor" is a crane in now Gdańsk, Poland. One of the popular symbols of the city.

[@mandybrown7758]

[@HBD86]

[@seanparchim9165]

[@serpent645]

I wonder if the cavalry, artillery and soldier items might have been used to make sand tables for briefing troops on an upcoming operation.

[@marystotts1939]

I love it! This old lady would come and man the sifter all day!!! Enjoy your digs!!!

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for the support!

[@jerome0071]

The one that was similar to the one that said "handtuch" or towel says "messertuch" so some sort of towel for a knife

[@troyprice5068]

Awesome finds. Very interesting stuff 👍🍻✌

[@stineberg2440]

Hallo zusammen...cooles video und interessante Funde...ist das der gestiefelte Kater? (Wolf)...

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Hi, I think so, or so I was told by other comments!

[@ZOMb2010]

AMAZING ...I lov this kind of stuff ..so was this a garbage /waste dump ??? Will any of these be for sale ?? I am also amazed how much detail and the number of item's that were made . It boggles my mind how much you guys were finding .. keep it going. THANK YOU / PEACE WESTERN CANADA

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Hi there, thanks for watching! Check out my webshop to see what's for sale: mdww2battlegrounds.com/shop

[@martyfearo2953]

Brilliant finds lads! 👍 Well done & thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@joakimblomqvist7229]

Are you sure those things are badges? To me they seem like game pieces... also the ovale enamel sign reads Messertuch - a towel for drying knives - definately cantine/kitchen things. Seem like you found some sort of recreational compound area...

[@Skeptic236]

The WHW "fighter plane" is actually a JU87 Dive bomber (missing the fixed undercarriage)

[@renarsstakaus3166]

I love theese vids. I have couple of nazi svastikas myself,but this is diffrent.. all the good thoughts to you all

[@frankcastle6003]

you are living my dream. thanks, from America

[@southernmama9362]

Ik germans was the bad guys but some of them must have been forced to fight in war, i might be wrong but it is so interesting to see german artifacts

[@lordthiberussolar4739]

Would love to be with your group to find some relics 🤩

[@thebakedpotato8590]

That badge looks like a half track but I might be wrong

[@bodge6886]

Impressive finds, well done👍

[@thesimulatorguy4248]

The amount of bones you were finding, truly amazing

[@butlerstrailfan886]

That goulash looks really good. We have an international grocery store where I live. I am going to look for that

[@typicalbosnian3344]

Is it only me who wonders how after all the digging made and finding all these stuff, they never found any bones from all the millions of soldiers who died on battlefield. What happened to those soldiers and those bodies. Just curious

[@nathanstanford2478]

Hello. I have been watching your guys videos for a long time and have enjoyed watching your videos and seeing all the cool and military memorabilia items you find. My friend and I in August are going to actually be coming to Germany and since you guys know the areas so well and know where to look we were wondering if we could join you on one of your hunts? I look forward to your reply and wish you good luck in your findings.

[@danielmisanthrop2632]

Schöne Funde, Glückwunsch

[@mrdavebenson]

Wow!!..Amazing Finds !!

[@lefty2660]

3:40 My Grandma has the exact same one in the Kitchen 🤣 Around 1900!

[@sikario87]

А как там оказались такие медали, вы так и необьяснили🤔

[@scourix4181]

I would love to know what the little figures were all about! In my head i thought it could be a figure to plan invasions. Back in the day they always had these like chess boards, where they moved figures from there to there, to learn more about the best strategy to start a attack. Maybe im right, maybe im wrong... Anyone knows more than me?

[@fabianratschiller6848]

See you in 3 days!😂

[@labron8869]

Omg

[@bernhardneu1092]

Hallo,in welchen Land🌍 seid ihr???? Bernd Frankenland 🇩🇪

[@thebihnsworkshop1338]

Was that a full bottle of Pervatin at the end?

[@danssmokintreasures]

I would love to buy one or two of those badges from you for a friend. I never see them on your site. I am guessing you keep them for collecting only.

[@salaciouscrumb9312]

Where exactly did you go to in the middle of nowhere to find all the artifacts? How were they all strewn about on that property?

[@swenstiller5624]

@ 5:18 it says "Messertuch" engl. knife towel

[@suzyqualcast6269]

At the end : Pervitin ¿?

[@ID_N_SI]

15:30 Der gestiefelte Kater

[@j.c.aguiar2126]

I just have to ask... Why are you finding so many pins and badges in that small(ish) area? Were they removing them from their uniforms? Was it a trash dump area and the pins are broken? It just seems like a lot to me...

[@Humanh8red]

What do you guys do with the finds? Do they go to museums?

[@danimarino5653]

Excellent video!! Always enjoy your content

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for watching!

[@timstingel9067]

Hey i was wondering is it true that there has been some earthquakes in the black forest area lately??

[@andreaskarlsson2492]

These sifter videos are the best

[@PlushtimeFilms]

I wonder what country they are finding this stuff in because the Germans never got into the USA

[@elchapo9329]

Who owns the land that you guys are digging on?

[@m.f.1132]

The Sonderkraftwagen is a playing figure aut of tin and was for children to play

[@m.f.1132]

and the Artilery and the soldiers to

[@m.f.1132]

The Aiming tin solider Was a prussian solider before the 1. World war

[@megane91daz]

Brilliant again as always

[@nathanstanford2478]

Or if when we go you know any good exclusive sights?

[@silacka3114]

Why is there so many badges? Did soldiers discard them at that location or what happened?

[@pezozpezoz]

There wasn't a rainbow pointing to it was there?

[@mikevanessen8687]

Wow you guys are Rock stars. Love your videos

[@mdww2battlegrounds]

Thanks for appreciating Mike!

[@conpop6924]

Maybe someday you'll be able to metal detect the battlefields of ukraine

[@IGHavelland]

Da hab ich auch schon ein paar Sachen gefunden ….

[@daltonbongiovanni8244]

Why would germans dump all this stuff in one spot??? I wish you would explain that!!!

[@skull_and_bones.]

What kind of metal detectors do you use? How deep do they go?

[@Billynoarms]

What is tiis site? Some sort of dump from the end of the war? I guess not a battlefield?

[@chrispink72]

Why is there so many personal items here ? Who would of put them in this dump ?

[@scottkusch]

Im curiois... why and how qre there so many badges found this way? Fallen soldiers? Thrown away in the garbage? Couldnt possoble have been dropped... this is interesting
