I got over 1200 documents that were liberated from the NSDAP office in Krems Austria by an Austrian citizen and apparently hidden for decades. Got them last year and just a treasure trove of documents.

I was just leaving your museum today Eric when I saw you coming down the stairs. I just wanted to say hello and tell you how much I enjoyed your episode on the Confederate arithmetic book. The young lady pointed it out to me, she was very pleasant, you on the other hand seemed stand offish and down right rude. It's my 3rd visit to the museum but with your attitude it may be my last one. I subscribe to your channel as well as History Underground, but my patronage to yours is in question, I'm hoping this was just an isolated case

Wonderful stuff! I wonder how items in the museum is taken care of? When arriving at the door and later when stored long term / display. I mean like paper materials like book´s, or textiles I suppose need some care regarding humidity, insects (like moths) and such destroying the items. Are items treated with some special chemicals or ever washed in any way? I guess that textiles with, let´s say blood or sweat stains or items that belonged to some well known character and such are left out of that loop but other stuff? I´m also thinking aging leather, rust on swords, knives, guns etc. Amazing video, so much knowledge here. Thank you guy´s!!!
