  • In this episode of DtC, Tom is bested in a contest of strength by a small cardboard box, young Jack Wittmann makes another appearance, and Ob expresses his disdain for some questionable items.
    BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
    Tom, Deb, and Ob would like to thank everyone who have been kind enough to send in gifts. Seriously, you guys are just the best.
    I'd like to thank each and every one of you who take the time to watch DtC, and am very grateful to everyone who takes even more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world Tom or Ob would be able to engage with everyone in the comment section, but alas the world is far from perfect. Tom doesn't know how (and refuses to learn) and Ob is something of a Luddite.
    FAQ & A:
    Q: I have a burning question about something in the video! What should I do?!
    A: An email sent directly to Tom is the best way to get your question answered, because while he most definitely reads each and every one of your comments, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in the comment section, and is not likely to in the foreseeable future. Or ever. Seriously, he still calls UA-cam "the U-TOOBZ".
    Tom's personal email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com
    You can also call him if you prefer (856-866-8733) between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, EST. This may be slightly more difficult because he's forever running around away from his desk, but it's worth a shot.
    Q: I have a amusing anecdote, scathing criticism, or heartfelt compliment that I deeply need to express and I require / demand / long for a personalized response! What should I do?!
    A: See "A" above.
    Again, Tom's email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com

    The Allach plate is nice but the original box with the cardboard protectors is extremely valuable. More valuable than the plate itself imo. How you guys were handling the fragile cardboard made me sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm no expert but my vote is all reproductions for the box with the ID, eagle pin and camera. The ID is way too perfect with details and the pin looks very cheaply made. I have never seen any stamped pins they are all cast and soldered or brazed that one was cheap sheet metal. The camera was period correct but I doubt if that name is real that he owned that camera. Too over the top. And the leather case the eagle almost looked engraved not pressed like genuine leather goods. Not too mention there was no waffen stamps on the leather.

      The SS marking in the center front of the camera look to good to be real.

      Only the photo of the middle aged soldier was genuine in my opinion.That ID book was terrible and has been doing the rounds on Ebay for years.

    Apart from patina, would it matter to re guild something? In time, the patina would return

    Just a guess here but on that cutlass I think the man may have been left handed and ordered or changed it himself to accommodate him.

    Tom;
    Anytime you want to show us that beautiful doggy is ok with me! Let him walk on the table, he’s a puppy, he’s suppose to get into things! I think you don’t want him to take a lap out of your Imperial glass! Cute Doggy!

    Tom, would be good if you could do a video if the medals turn out to be fake, explaining what is wrong with them.

    In 1758 Frederick the Great once more took the initiative by invading Moravia. By May, he had laid siege to Olomouc; but, the Austrians were able to hold the town and destroyed Frederick's supply train, forcing him to retreat into Silesia. In the meantime, the Russian army had advanced within 100 miles (160 km) east of Berlin. In August, he fought the Russian forces to a draw at the Battle of Zorndorf, in which nearly a third of Frederick's soldiers were casualties. He then headed south to face the Austrian army in Saxony. There, he was defeated at the Battle of Hochkirch on 14 October, although the Austrian forces were not able to exploit their victory.
    Camera pronounced (voit lander} Made in Germany and a quality camera.
