@davidspence4564 I'm trying to get the whole set of 7! Hopefully it will be achieved. They are a cool thing

@doughochstatter9653 Adolf the painter would be mortified with your accusations!

@heccsclips3319 Cheers mate, I've got plenty more cool bits to show! I'm from Kent, although some people on here have mistaken me for being Australian 🤣👍

@steelhelmetstan7305 There would had been a variety of game bird designs. Germans have a long history of shooting at birds throughout the years. Since medieval times people have been shooting at game targets like this. It just comes from there hunting cultures and game shooting etc in Germany. Funny enough people have been using birds as targets since Romans times. Cheers Stan, take care mate 👍

@Tailssonic1999x The pigsticker was actually a well liked bayonet. I've got a video about them coming in the next few days.

@Tailssonic1999x Not that I know of.. The 50cal featured here is very long. During the war they were cutting the barrel so it was shorter. It could be moved by hand, but it would need a team of men. 50cal is intended to be a heavy calibre against armoured targets that can't be destroyed by small arms rifle fire etc. So to make it portable or as a lmg would defeat the object of having 50cal.

Cheers mate! You don't realise how much stuff you accumulate until you can have a sort out 😂 and then it's a case of "why on earth have I got some of this " 😂 but I'll find a use for it

@steelhelmetstan7305 Cheers mate. I'm not really a fan of relics, but stumbled across this one when tidying 🤣👍

@@nathanstagg4566 Never even knew they existed until last week! Just thought they had the standard stake concrete mine.

The regime of 1933 to 1945 was evil

@felixdagger549 I help Vigo Militaria out at all the shows across the UK. This one was yesterday "Thetford Militaria Fair'. This is a link to my main video of the show. Going into more detail of what we had on offer. ua-cam.com/video/pn42UjL85b0/v-deo.htmlsi=ZoLIPn-zK1BHmxMX

@aaronswarhistory thank you, I looked at the price of that pencil online, and I would have been scared too.

@Tailssonic1999x Thanks. It was replaced from service in the 1980s by the 51mm mortar.

@steelhelmetstan7305 Probably out of date though mate 🤣. You're right mate, it's a really good show there especially for us. I help out on the stall with vigo militaria and we always do so well at Thetford. Can never have enough binos mate 😎🤣! Agree, car boot sellers want top notch for items that are beer money. Ebay love it when people are selling something that they've misdescribed. Bargain hunter 😎 got a reissue kregsmarine gasmask the other week on eBay. Seller and everyone else who viewed just assumed it was a standard gas mask tin. Underneath you can see the afrikakorps paint. Amd under that you can just about see the factory apple paint. Take care mate 👍

@aaronswarhistory cheers , I meant to say 'good items' 🤣🤣🤣

@Landsturm There worth coming too, you can still find some gucci bits without the gucci price tag! Rough it and camp out at one of the big weekend shows! Military odyessy in August is worth it!

@felixdagger549 🤣 I didn't realise it was filming and then when I found this footage I was like I could use it 🤣. Got there in the end but it was a pain! It's an expensive piece of kit too, I didn't want to break it! The fear was real 🤣

@aaronswarhistory they should make replica versions too buy

@felixdagger549 I don't think there would be a market for them as repro. With some time and effort you could probably make one yourself. I may even attempt it myself!

@aaronswarhistory I would but I am too young and don't want prison time!

@@kevinyates4841 I can't say for sure. But I would assume it would be for grip in your hand. Or to tie the wrap around your wrist so you've got more control over it.

@LuckyBilly09 Because if the enemy captured any agents or searched them. They hopefully wouldn't find them as they would contain important information. SOE agents risked death if caught with intelligence for the Allies.

@ well I’m never joining the SOE

@LuckyBilly09 Fortunately SOE disbanded in January 1946

@ well at least that’s something good

@Landsturm They are, I had no clue they existed until last year! An American was stalling out at the military odyessy show,and I grabbed that, the VSM and peanut from the same guy. He too was in Vietnam. Thanks for the sub. I appreciate the support!

@Landsturm Thanks for answering that, it didn't taste of chalk then! Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your dad's service!

@@dalekzackpotter3904 Thanks. I'm glad you've learnt something!

@louisedgewood9839 That's not correct. The airforce was started in 1912 as the RFC (Royal Flying Corps). The Royal Flying Corps became the Royal Air Force on 1st April 1918.

@CaptainMilitaria Thank you, I appreciate that!

@Jake-z3f That's an interesting way to find a loophole in a lie, propaganda is powerful! Especially in War. Have you researched family members? When you consider the behaviours of The White Feather Movement it makes you think why the government didn't just release a statement like that. But essentially in my opinion I'm guessing they thought it was too strong and would have the opposite effect of people not wanting to enlist. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

@aaronswarhistory Honestly friend - looking at world events these days, I just don't know. Mankind seems so capable of discovering so many wonderful things. Learning from history doesn't seem to be one of them.

@johnbowmer5698 The figures include everything. I just wanted to make sure there was clarity as to why I was mentioning Christmas 1918 despite the war ending a month earlier. I'm sure they did. But that's how the Commonwealth War Graves have recorded it as on there records. Interesting! Thank you for his service. Have you done any research on him?

@kevinyates4841 Cheers Kevin!

@robertmartyr2041 You can go see it at Chelmsford townhall of all places too!

i have heard about the Chelmsford town hall, i live in Essex and heard about it many years ago also Rudyard Kipling had that symbol on some of his books. thank you for replying aaron, liked and subbed too :0)

@robertmartyr2041 Thanks for your support Robert! If you ever visit it's the only tiled bit between the bricks. I've got some WW1 videos about Rubyard Kipling coming out in the new year! I didn't know he used the symbol! Cheers

Yeah, the Irish Army kept effectively the same uniform as they had under British control. They had all the same kit, so they just reused what worked. This guy specifically is the Essex Regiment of the British Army, though. You can tell by the cap badge. The Essex Regiment was actually in the later Irish War of Independence.

@@felixdagger549 Military Odyessy. It's on once a year, great show!

@JestersSHOES87 Mi9 certainly had some clever inventors working for them! They helped aid many escapes with various different items concealed in all kinds of ways!

@JestersSHOES87 The SOE used alot of cool gadgets that were made to deceive the enemy. Mi9, who designed the gadgets helped aid many escapes during WW2!

@@NiallWhitehead-MSc Thank you. It's the British 1902 pattern uniform that I'm wearing. It isn't the most comfortable uniform to wear! Especially when it gets wet!
