[@ellenkarlsson9490]

Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit in love with this guy.

[@dkuhs]

Me too !

[@Tithi1987]

Ayoo😂

[@jessicamantor762]

Why does he not have more subscribers? He’s just so good the way he talks and all he explains about World War II stuff.

[@sdkfirkfnvbirajlkbnoficcial]

fr this helps me understand a lot.

[@EvaGannon]

I love your videos and your excitement when showing and talking about your collection. Thanks for educating us on amazing World War 2 history.

[@MONSTERKILLERMFLEXJR]

"I already seen pictures of whats usually inside of the mystery box" *gets the wonderwaffle*

[@bearflagmercantile8113]

If you take a picture of the worn stamps on equipment use your flash. It helps enhance the residual ink. Also I'm a former trooper, 85 to 90. As well as a W.W.II Collector/ Historian for the past 45 years. You are doing an amazing job with educating others about the W.W.II Soldier. Keep up the good work

[@garunga597]

huh guess that'll help me figure out the date on my pasgt helmet cover

[@SnepperStepTV]

My Grampy served in WWII as a Technician 3rd class in the 1155th. Got my passion for WWII stuff from him. I also collect a lot of other stuff that has nothing to do with this so I don't have the room to keep stuff pristine but I do enjoy finding WWII uniform stuff that's been well-loved and I make it civilian-wearable. The issue overcoat is genuinely my best winter coat, and the 1950s repro i found is just as good. Big fan of Ike jackets and "Frycook hats". Currently, I'm doing a painted A2 leather bomber jacket, but with the theme of the graphic being Star Trek's StarFleet to go with an original-series captain uniform recreation.

[@northmaineguy5896]

11:30 That looks to be a WW2 era Army Air Corp "Sweetheart" pin, worn by significant others of Army Air Corp pilots. It's worth about $50.

[@SilverState99]

The next Unboxing should get opened by a P-38 Can opener

[@beckybremer8010]

Yesterday I touched World War II gun. I showed my grandpa the story of the ka-bar and he said “well you learn something new every day.” I also got to carry a Nazi side arm.

[@festusMA]

very cool

[@dedsec6072]

1:24 dude instantly puts his pulse above a bayonet and starts forcing the knife upwards

[@calerussler288]

You could have a whole Korean War uniform at this point

[@namehere4506]

He finally has emotion in his voice.

[@billrivenbark8983]

Put some bee’s wax on the zipper of the garand case. It’ll free it up and help water proof it.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

I have a WWI cartridge belt from 1918 that doesn't have the straps for the clips either. So I guess the Army went back to basics with the M1923 design post WWII. Even the post war belts went back to the brass buckles over the Zinc buckles.

[@robertsand6962]

So I’ve always been interested in reenactment as I’m an avid history buff and know I would love it but I always felt like I’d be out of place in historical re-enactments since I’m Indian. How common is it to see POC in WW2 reenactment events or what’s the general thought on it?

[@johnh.tuomala4379]

Both the USA and France had segregated non-white units in World War II. Outside of that, I don’t know. You’re really limited.

[@KomradeVR]

I can imagine the rifle saying to the case “it’s been long since I last seen you.”

[@diabeticdeathclaw5531]

As my grand father says “A dull knit is a dangerous knife,that goes for bayonets too” he was a Vietnam vet btw

[@laurakenney100]

What a great gift from one of your subscribers.

[@ww2_history5432]

How old were you when you started collecting

[@jaredschoenfeld2559]

My father in law was in the 8th air corp and served from before D-Day until the bombing of Germany. He was a B-17 tail gunner. He has the same pin.

[@sergeantwaffles4814]

You are the reason I get up 1 hour before school so I can catch you🫡

[@shockwave6213]

For anyone wondering: Most knife shaped bayonets aren't actually supposed to be sharp. Only a few notable examples are meant to also be sharpened to double as a utility knife.

[@charlieghague]

Did you buy your Garand through the Civilian Marksmanship Program? I've been looking at getting one through them. I've heard it's worth it.

[@WorldWarWisdom]

I did! Best way to get one these days in my opinion

[@adventureswithcobber1583]

I love your videos so much I learn a lot from them and as a ww2 enthusiast I enjoy listening to people that know what there talking about

[@Jimmiesmom]

He both looks old and young at the same time and I don't know how to feel about it.

[@leasmith2248]

I love how the baïonette can't cut tape for the life of it, but human flesh? Oh boy will it slice and dice your fingers!

[@PureMiko]

Man, I really love your videos and I was probably going to start collecting WW2 American gear Mostly for a tank destroyer for the Battle of the Bulge which my Great-grandfather Issac fought in.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

I use to use the ammo belts when I went squirrel and rabbit hunting. Each pouch held 3 shells perfectly. Plus the eyelets I'd loop a string loop in them and tuck it under belt which was perfect for looping the hind legs of a rabbit or squirrel

[@flyingtigerline]

I learn so much watching your videos, and I have a great time too. When I was in high school, back in the early 70's I hung out with a bunch of kids who are very into WW II stuff. Boy, would we have hung on every word you'd have to say.

[@BlknCsn]

Do a qna video. My 2 questions for the video are 1.where did you learn all that stuff about ww2? 2.will you actually enlist in military?

[@tjv-logs]

The literal GOAT

[@paladinkhan]

Ive got my own collection of historical military gear. Recently got a navy steamer trunk from ww2, also restored a ww1 footlocker a few years ago. It all started with a medium assualt alice pack from the vietnam conflict era.

[@wbertie2604]

I used to collect US WW2 stuff and ended up with some unusual stuff: a forage cap and class A field jacket both in the lighter OD shade. A pair of HBT fatigue trousers, 1941 pattern, but apparently made by a private tailor for an officer. Something that looked much like an MA1 jacket, but dated 1945 and privately tailored for a USAAF officer. A very nice aluminum US Army espresso pot from 1941. A wool ETO jacket. A pair of paratrooper wings made out of melted metal of some sort made in a prison. An Allied Lire note with a woman's name and address in Rome written on it. An apparently experimental reversible one-piece snow suit, dated 1945 and I never saw one like it, nor in books. The last one I found on a junk stall in a market in Paris. All sold or given away now.

[@wbertie2604]

Also an almost full set of British-made webbing. Belts, packs, etc.

[@wbertie2604]

Prisoner of war camp

[@wbertie2604]

Actually not all given away - I kept the parallel nose pliers. Best pliers I've ever had.

[@WorldWarWisdom]

Wow, sounds like you had quite the collection!

[@wbertie2604]

@@WorldWarWisdom a reasonable one. I just managed to pick up some oddities. One of my friends still has his, and dwarfs anything I ever had. His collection of military bicycles alone is impressive.

[@fritz1143]

ww2 collectors will actually get excited for a matching date...how beautiful.

[@jaegerguy]

Where is a World War II reenactment gig near me?! It’s awesome to see other guys geek out over wwii military gear.

[@brodysova-zj4pc]

I was with the 82nd airborne division I never jumped because I was in basic when the war ended. I am lucky.

[@mediocresupport4682]

alot of compass trinkets/bracelets will always be wrong because of the metal they use in close proximity to the compass needle. which messes up the magnetic pull

[@JMCollecting]

Love your vids, man. You along with others inspired me to make my own channel.

[@TonyMichaels166]

Awesome stuff! I’m reading the Rick Atkinson Liberation Trilogy right now

[@andrewvoighttheoriginal]

fyi bayonets are stabing knives their not suposed to be sharp just pointy

[@johndebilt3505]

Bayonet training in the late '60s included 2 slashing attacks, only 1 jabbing move.

[@andrewvoighttheoriginal]

@@johndebilt3505 well I'm denying that someone could perform a slash, but the idea of a bayonet it to turn a person's rifle into a spear when they run out of ammo, and and a slash with a spear wouldn't be as effective. also thers not to many ways to stab a person, but there is more ways to slash

[@johndebilt3505]

​@@andrewvoighttheoriginal I was taught that the slash moves were directed towards the neck, jab was directed to the torso. We were expected to keep the blade honed sharp. I expect the slash was fairly effective with a sharp blade. Think death from a neck slash may be faster than a stab wound. USMC did study of bayonet wounds during WW2.

[@andrewvoighttheoriginal]

@@johndebilt3505 like i said im not denying it, but when bayonets were invented they were just spear points for guns. i.e. the plug bayonet

[@andrewvoighttheoriginal]

@@johndebilt3505 oh ok srry then

I can feel this video will have a lot of freedom at the beginning of the video.
