@@History-Secrets of ww2 mac. A. Video of 1944 weapon

That's awesome!! Cool, I'm glad you liked it!

May I ask how much?

@@Erik-xy5xj I doubt he is going to tell you.

@@Erik-xy5xj cost him 5 dollars because it is fake it is a reproduction

I hate that you had to say you weren't a nazi, most people don't understand that you don't have to be a nazi to be interested in german history. But it is what it is I guess

Erich Müller it’s just what the media says. They have no respect for history unlike us. I’ve been called a nazi numerous times by people that have no idea what history even is.

Weak. My teacher called me to stay after class after a ww2 lecture, and I explained to them what the German battle plan was, and my teacher asked me if I was a Nazi after everyone left.

@@DiddyBom woah

Erich Müller ridiculous, isn’t it?

Indeed

Where did you get it from because I really want to join a reenactment group

Dulcet Stew8440 I got it from Etsy. Good place go get uniforms.

@@asslowshop396 okay

@@asslowshop396 thank you

Congratulations, you are actually first!! :)

@Ich bin reich he deleted his comment lmao

@@aquiegaloucura I care! :)

@@History-Secrets why are you responding to me so much :D Your my favorite RU-vidr and you have inspired me to have a new interest in collecting , your awesome!

Thank you for being a loyal subscriber!! :)

Correct.

So if we know the history EVERYONE will think we are good everybody ready

H Nywening that’s a cool job! Do you have a website that you sell on?

@@DiddyBom Thanks for asking. I do not currently sell any of my projects. I've only sewn historic clothing for family members and my personal wardrobe (yes, I wear Victorian clothing on a daily basis...). Historic Sewing is more of a hobby while I expand my sewing skills and experience, but I am actively trying to make historic sewing and reenactment/living history a professional part of my life, so we'll have to wait and see what comes of it (fingers crossed). This is a bit beyond my current experience level, but whenever I see Nick's uniforms I always look at them and try to figure out how they're made. So, maybe someday???

H Nywening best of luck. I’m sure you’ll make scarily accurate uniforms, and when you do, I’m probably goin to buy😂

@@DiddyBom That's very nice of you! thank you

@Sean Rooney Haha, you're so sweet. I will have to keep that idea in the back of my mind for later (If I can break out of having my life consumed by stupid careers I care nothing for, that is). Also, I'm surprised and very amused that men (I'm assuming) are pretty much begging me to sew uniforms

My last video was 1 week ago 😂

History Secrets oh I didn’t see that 1 😂

@Evan Munoz Check the timing 2:21 - this silver stripe on the collar means you have an NCO in front of you. 2:27 - on the shoulder boards you have the same silver stripe applied as on the collar. In this case silver stripe goes arround the shoulder board, but leaves one side open, which indicates the lowest NCO rank "Unteroffizier". If the silver stripe goes all the way arround the shoulder board - thats an "Unterfeldfebel". NCOs of the higher ranks have silver pins on the shoulder boards. One pin - "Feldfebel", two - "Oberfeldfebel" and so on. If you need it more detailed just google it, there are a lot of resources for the german uniforms.

@@TJRookwood thank you for the info

He probably buys them that way or paints them with small brushes for precision

I agree he probably does but them

In the thumbnail? 😂

Yes I was wondering to you ain’t the only one

I read a forum on this actually, I’ll try and find it for you folks.

Thank you Marcos!! :)

be careful, so many are fakes. I recommend posting for feedback on forums

Start saving your money, good luck! :)

History Secrets thanks 👍

Yannick Oliveres as a collector and dealer of over 5 years my opinion for starting out is just avoid SS in general, unless it came from a veterans footlocker it is more then likely fake.

yes

@Lego Dude #9 oh, that's interesting to see the two different routes the tags can go. Thanks!

Yes, the German death card. They are also known Sterbebild, Sterbebilde or Totenzettel. These are little cards given out at funerals, funeral services or remembrance services for mourners to take away, these would have also been given out by families of soldiers who were missing in action or killed far from home (they are still given out today). But these were also given out at funerals for civilians, for example you will often see death cards to civilians who were killed in air raids ‘Gefallen terror angriff’. As for the families receiving news and to expand on Lego dudes excellent comment - The Germans were very meticulous at recording information. Now this is very basic information on how it was done. Every German male would receive a document called a Wehrpass when he was conscripted and a document called a Soldbuch and dog tag when he entered the armed forces. The Wehrpass (which was kept by his unit) would contain detailed information about the soldier, including place of birth, next of kin, units, training, weapons training, dog tag number etc. The Soldbuch contained similar information but was carried by he soldier at all times. So if a soldier was killed in action his comrades would snap his dog tag in two. This was done so half the dog tag stayed with the body for identification purposes later on, eg for graves registration, and the other half would be handed in to his unit, so the death could be recorded by the company clerk. But this wasn’t always possible, so there are a few different ways that dead, or missing soldiers were categorised. You can have gefallen (killed in action), vermisst (missing), gestorben (died) or tödlich unfall (fatal accident)... If it was a clear cut case that the soldier was dead, this was recorded by his unit and sent up the chain of command until the information was received by the office he was recruited at. An official letter would be sent to his next of kin telling them the sad news. Along with this the company commander or person in charge of his unit would often send any personal belongs and write a letter to the family. These letters are often set out in the same format and will hide the true cause of death. Here’s a typical example of how a letter would be written. Hello/greetings to Mr and Mrs...... Your son, .......... who was a much loved and brave soldier has died a hero’s death for Germany. He did not suffer because he was killed instantly by a gunshot to the head, while fighting against overwhelming odds... His actions saved the lives of many of his comrades on this day, he will not be forgotten. If the soldier was missing, or wounded and in hospital an official letter would also be sent out to the family. I have one of these official letters to a soldier who went missing while on leave in German (possibly he was a deserter). Sorry for the essay lol, but if I can help with anything else let me know.

@@worldwarwill1278 oh my god you've answered more questions than I even knew I had! Thank you so much (also i quite like essays like this, much more information lol) Also, Would you mind terribly sending a copy of the letter you have, I'm very interested in what it says! Thanks :)

Lol, no problem. It’s what I like about this hobby, people always help out each other... Yeah sure, I’ll post a couple of links into the discussion section of your channel so you can have a look. The links will take you to a couple of forums I used and you can check out some of my other stuff too.

Thanks, I appreciate that, but I’m not really that smart lol... I’ve just collected German documents for a long time, so have picked up some ticks along the way. I’m not always right, but I help when I can and ask for help when I need to. Thanks again.

Panzer = armored ;) Thank you for watching!
