Show of Shows 2024 - World's Largest Antique Militaria Show in Louisville, KY! WWII Relics Galore!

A brief tour of the 2024 Show of Shows at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Kentucky! This is one of the largest - if not the largest - antique militaria shows in the entire world organized by the Ohio Valley Military Society. This video features a glimpse at the wide variety of military antiques available at this impressive event.

I usually try to be really positive in these videos (plus I am easily amused,) however I honestly did not love this event.

That Texaco fire chief helmet! I had one as a kid (dating myself!)! It is battery powered with a handheld microphone that powers a small speaker in the helmet emblem. With I still had that item.

0:44 Was it's Patton's Tunic and Helmet?! For real?!

[@paulwee1924dus]

Maybe George C Scott's Movie ensemble. From the 1970 Patton movie.

The correct term is German WW2 militaria

[@wildweasel3760]

The term nazi is considered derogatory today.

[@rolfagten857]

You sound like Gert-Jan Droge from Glamourland sir!

[@victorstrozier929]

They did ask a young man dressed in an Allegmeine SS uniform to leave. I scratched my head and asked myself why didn't they ask the young man in the Japanese uniform to leave also? If we are going to begin to exclude people dressing up in uniforms, let's at least do so consistently.

[@wildbillkelso1946]

Because the clown in the Alleghenies SS uniform and the three tattooed clowns he was with were actual Nazi Skinheads.Scum like that don’t belong at the Show of Shows not only because of what they are but the guaranteed negative press they bring.

[@wildweasel3760]

Or the guys wearing east german uniforms or communist russian stuff.

[@mikechrister2736]

That's ridiculous. It's history. That's all. Stop being so offended and ignorant people please.

[@n9ter]

@@mikechrister2736 It isn't ignorance, they almost had the SOS shut down by higher authorities due to this dressing up happening, they must also seem against it or else they put the show in jeopardy.

[@paulwee1924dus]

Did they sell Saddam Husseyn item there?!

[@georgelish1146]

Yes

[@atestamenttohistory]

Yes tons

i think the biggest show in the word would be ciney militaria show in belgium with 12K visitors in 1 day the huge amount of german 3th reigh militaria is becouse it sels the best and has an intersting but grewsome history behind it, also try to be carefull with the word nazi, its a wide used term that collectors dont use and is looked at unprofesionally, not to avoid what the germans did but more to be more corect

[@DarrellBruder]

Perhaps you should go on the first day, next time.

Not "one of the largest" military shows in the USA, it is the largest. One individual, not a member of OVMS, did show up in a SS uniform and was promptly removed from the property.
