In my opinion it is good that items are split to multiple Museums and such. This allows more people an opportunity to share in the experience of seeing these artifacts. Not everyone is fortunate enough to travel overseas or even across the Country. Additionally, what you are doing with these videos helps immensely! Thank you for doing them!
I went to the Gettysburg Museum of History February 2022. Awesome!!! I love it!! Amazing collection of Several Wars. Incredible collection of WWII both sides. Lots of Easy Company... Best Museum yet for me... I will Go back...
We have found a picture of a German Flag, where a bunch of men signed it, including my Dad. He was in Normandy with the 893rd TD BN. I wish that would be in a museum like all of these other things.
Always great to see actual uniforms and photos of the time… especially anything about the Band of Brothers. Thanks and great job. Can you only sponsor a soldier in person at the museum or can you do something online?
It’s commendable that Erik and DeTrez can work in concert to preserve and present the priceless treasures for us to see. Oh yea, I’d LOVE to own them but, here’s the reality…in those two museums, millions get to share in them. Too many of these items are buried away in private sheltered collections that no one but whomever was willing and able to lay out the cash, get to enjoy the turkey bump feeling! That’s just unfortunate! These men don’t hide them away with a prideful of boastful spirit…they freely share them. Absolutely I’d love to hold them in my hands…but if all I can do is see them, my soul is warmed by the experience. A salute to them, and to you…for taking us there…virtual is better than not at all. 🇺🇸❤️👊🏻
This is awesome, it’s a very good idea to have a collection split up . Just in case of fire or some other tragedy it’s not all lost . Thanks for posting
Through the Orville Martin story, I just realised I own an original press release photograph of him wearing the helmet! The original press copy, it only mentioned the soldier’s unit: “505th Airborne”, the photo was taken of him in North Africa, prior to the Sicily drop, I believe. He’s wearing all of his jump gear (aside from the parachute itself). Very moving, great video!
I'd sponsor one for Capt. Sobel. Not the most popular person, but is generally acknowledged as the officer who helped make Easy Company into what it became.
Lol, what the Lieutenant Colonel did for Easy Company was only for himself to look good. Did it ultimately help, possibly. He also tried to commit suicide, then he basically starved himself to death. The guy had demons from his early life. He got a Bronze Star and that Rank, that's all he deserves.
@@1776PartyAgain True, but it did achieve something that possibly saved lives, Getting relieved of Easy Company certainly saved Sobel's life because it was bantered about that if the Germans didn't get him, someone from the company would and his field tactics appear to be considerably lacking.
Love your work guys. You’re my favorite channel on UA-cam. Some folks don’t realize when Easy returned from Normandy they received new style uniforms they used at Market Garden to the end of the Euro conflict which explains why they had different sets of combat fatigues that you now see in different museums.
The story about trading the helmet 🪖 for Major Winter’s jacket 🧥 was a really good example of how these to collectors are on the same team-work together to support the education and preservation of our shared history…I applaud them both! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks for bringing back the memories I was there for the 75 in 2019 and agree it is well worth the trip even from Australia. Cheers and keep these great videos coming.
Interesting. I'm glad the unused items from the D-Day experience museum are somewhere we can see them and not just sitting in storage somewhere. I'm sure the fact that he wanted that helmet was a contributing factor. (Side note: I wonder how many people checked their subscription status at 9:01 Friday morning 😆)
JD...... Again another superb vlog about Normandy. You have taken your viewers once again to Normandy to relive the history of the dedication of the brave soldiers. Thank you
Just an outstanding video as always. If I ever get to France, I will try and get to all the sites using the videos here. Is there any chance that you or Eric may do a tour someday?
Yes, using The History Underground videos as a tour guide is a great idea. I have used his videos as a guide when I visited various the War Museum of Indianapolis, Crown Hill Cemetery as well as the Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. I plan to do some the same when I go back to France once this pandemic is declared over.
As much as I respect the history with you both and I’m not so new on the channel since y’all merged, BUT, I did catch Erik on pawn stars a few times and hearing him say how he acquires stuff from a lot of 3rd parties with pretty much here-say and no documentation I think that should be something he looks into as a museum. I’m a freak with history don’t get me wrong but if you’re gonna display something make sure it’s what you say it is. Some people out there fake everything. No disrespect of course but I think his imagination takes over when buying some things cause he’s so emotionally involved
I learned a lot from this video so what's a good thing that we trade artifacts of History so people can see the real stuff might not ever get over to Normandy where's the war was so you take care God bless and God bless your family enjoyed the video
Hi JD. Thanks for all your work you do to keep the memory alive for those that fought for our freedoms. With what's going on right now it important to make sure people know how fast we can lose our freedoms that many take for granted. Thanks again......
Good post, Last war ... maybe many viewers need to think about today , put WWII History on hold and follow 2022 informed channels talking about the Ukraine Crisis. Military Aviation History is a start for information outwith Media news ?
Just below Brad Freeman was a guy named Rinehart, my last name, spelled the same. No relation though. I was a member of the 101st 1984-1988. I made a trip to that area in 2016. I wasn't aware of this museum so I missed it. Sure wish these videos had been available before my trip. Thanks for the good work!
Just amazing (again) to see all those 100´s of artifacts still around! Any chance there could be as much stuff and stories from, let´s say the Vietnam war? Or Korea? Wonderful video!
I feel that people like Dick Winters, while an American, now belong to the world. It is only right that there are items that belonged to him in Normandy. It was great to learn more about this partnership.
Thanks for this great video's. i have been several times to Normandie but didn't that this was a great museum. Last year i vissit st marie eglise, Utah beach and the Crisbeq batterie In the Netherlands i vissit the island where Dick winters led the attack on the Crossroads.
I have tons of stuff from my grandfather WW2 he was a souvenir collector during the war so I have German flags, bayonets, helmets and 2 pristine condition luger's
Fascinating details, and how cool to be a collector and get to trade for certain must haves. Incredible. The mannequin are just awesome at that place, they look like real men.
Excellent video. Thanks for clarifying JD. I was very curious and had a suspicion that Erik was involved. I am really enjoying this series and as I have stated to you before, the partnership with Erik and his museum has been fantastic for you. The content that you produce with him is exceptional.
bonjour,merci a vous d avoir expliquer les accords entre musée ,je suis un tout petit collectionneurs militaria ww2 et un peu ww1 ,je connais bien le systeme de troc entre musée mais vous avez raison d expliquer cela car beaucoup de gens l ignore ,merci a eric et merci a vous ,vous faites un excellent boulot
One thing that confuses me and hoping someone could help explain. I know they had DDay uniforms M42? and the later changed to M43? Did the veterans post the old uniform home, can’t imagine them marching through Europe with a second Uni. in the kit bag.
Definitely on the to do list...have to go before something bad happens and its gone...important to remember the sacrifices so it doesnt happen again...noone wishes for peace more than a soldier because a soldier has to pay the ultimate price..your videos are surpassing Norm Christie's,,,if you havent heard of him check him out...Pro Patria
JD if you are ever near Madison Wi it would be worth checking out the Veterans museum located downtown Madison just across the street from the State Capital building. The museum has an excellent life size diorama of the US wars complete with actual artifacts. The museum also has one of the best Civil War exhibits especially focused on the famous Iron Brigade which comprised some units mustered from the Southern Wi area. Some cool things to view are the flag staffs the Iron Brigade carried at Antietam as well as Gettysburg. The staffs have a story all their own and are riddled with bullet holes showing the intense combat the unit went through with Rufus Dawes as the leader of the 6th Wi regiment. Take care and keep up the awesome work you are doing!
Just trying to clear up some confusion, which class a jacket is which? Or did they both belong to Winters? The one in Gettysburg has 4, not 5 overseas stripes on the left sleeve, but they are placed and made of the same thin bullion cloth as in the original Winters picture. So which one is the jacket in Normandy?
Well this story about who's who items is kinda the battle of the big heads museums. My uncle col Robert s Moore was 2nd regiment commander of the fssf the devils brigade. I have his m2 para helmet and m1c from ft bragg in 46. Have all his uniforms and gear. Fssf items rare as hens teeth
I love these videos, I have bought almost every single book involving Easy company. Keep up the great work! On my bucket list is to go to the Gettysburg Museum. Also what is the intro song?
I love that items were split between the museums. Gives folks on both sides of the world to enjoy and learn!
Agreed.
Primarily this, but its also nice to have these things split for unseen circumstances. It would be unlikely both places are destroyed somehow.
In my opinion it is good that items are split to multiple Museums and such. This allows more people an opportunity to share in the experience of seeing these artifacts. Not everyone is fortunate enough to travel overseas or even across the Country. Additionally, what you are doing with these videos helps immensely! Thank you for doing them!
Pretty darn cool! I know that it sounds goofy , but this world sure needs more guys like Major Dick Winters.
Very awesome. Thanks for another great WW2 history fact. These are such amazing details that I greatly enjoy in all of your videos. 👍🇨🇦👍
👍🏻
Im always shocked there isn't an extra 0 or two at the end of your subscriber count. Your content is top notch
I went to the Gettysburg Museum of History February 2022. Awesome!!! I love it!! Amazing collection of Several Wars. Incredible collection of WWII both sides. Lots of Easy Company... Best Museum yet for me... I will Go back...
Keep up the fantastic work JD & Eric, blown ways with the channel 👏👏👍❤️
Thanks so much!
Awesome to see it is split up! So more people can see such artifacts. Great video!
Great video as always. Dig the intro music too.
Awesome thank you!
It's the return of everyone's favorite history superhero - Ponytail Man!
Great video, JD. First one I've been able to watch in a while.
We have found a picture of a German Flag, where a bunch of men signed it, including my Dad. He was in Normandy with the 893rd TD BN. I wish that would be in a museum like all of these other things.
Always great to see actual uniforms and photos of the time… especially anything about the Band of Brothers. Thanks and great job. Can you only sponsor a soldier in person at the museum or can you do something online?
I'm not sure. You can probably reach out to the museum and find out though.
It’s commendable that Erik and DeTrez can work in concert to preserve and present the priceless treasures for us to see. Oh yea, I’d LOVE to own them but, here’s the reality…in those two museums, millions get to share in them.

Completely agree. Thanks!
Really appreciate your videos 👍
Glad you like them!
I hope to get to both museums one day, fascinating history there…
Dead Man's Corner is an amazing museum, the whole of Normandy is full of interesting places full of history.
Fabulous channel JD I love every video to date. The collaboration with Eric is magic, keep up the great work guys, 👏👍❤️
Thanks so much!!

Wow!
Another great episode!
Amazing!
Another Easy Company name you can see is at the 2:09 mark. Donald G. Malarkey is just to the lower left of Bradford Freeman.
I'd sponsor one for Capt. Sobel. Not the most popular person, but is generally acknowledged as the officer who helped make Easy Company into what it became.
Lol, what the Lieutenant Colonel did for Easy Company was only for himself to look good. Did it ultimately help, possibly. He also tried to commit suicide, then he basically starved himself to death. The guy had demons from his early life. He got a Bronze Star and that Rank, that's all he deserves.

I hope so too!
This series never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work!

Excellent video. 👍🏻😎
Thanks 👍
great video big fan of history of dick winters and easy company lovely stuff cant wait for the next video mate
Thanks! Glad that you're enjoying it.
New Orleans,LA, USA recently opened a six acre museum profiling WW2.
We visited last summer! Spent nearly all day there. Fantastic place and my favorite part of visiting New Orleans.
What is the background intro music, it slaps. Please and thank you! Keep up the great work!
Can’t believe I got here so early. What amazing museums. I’m not getting to Normandy in this lifetime so thanks for showing this.
Our pleasure!

Couldn't agree more!

Interesting video JD--always look forward to new releases from you. Sure makes me want to get to Normandy and have Paul show me around.
Thx!!!!

I would love to see you visit sicily for operation husky, or kasserine pass, maybe even Monte Casino?
One of these days :)
I had lots of WW2 uniforms & equipment as a kid and play army. I never knew it’s historical significance until later. It’s all gone now. 😢
Did Forest Guth really wear a blue hoodie under his M42s on D-Day?
I feel that people like Dick Winters, while an American, now belong to the world. It is only right that there are items that belonged to him in Normandy. It was great to learn more about this partnership.
Glad that you enjoyed it!

Last year i vissit st marie eglise, Utah beach and the Crisbeq batterie
In the Netherlands i vissit the island where Dick winters led the attack on the Crossroads.
Did that rusty Sherman in front of the museum fight around that area too?
Not only that he lived in Hershey PA Gettysburg is in PA huh 1+1=2
Great job as always! Love the way you capture and tell about History!
Great team you have as well. Thank you for your videos!!!
I have tons of stuff from my grandfather WW2 he was a souvenir collector during the war so I have German flags, bayonets, helmets and 2 pristine condition luger's

Great video again. I would love to see more on the coast guardsmen on D-Day.

So very grateful for those with the mindset to collect and preserve artifacts.
Agreed.
hey JD have you been to The National Museum of the Marine Corps yet?
Yes, but not with a camera.
@@TheHistoryUnderground well get on it, after you get a new camera man or woman of course
One thing that confuses me and hoping someone could help explain. I know they had DDay uniforms M42? and the later changed to M43? Did the veterans post the old uniform home, can’t imagine them marching through Europe with a second Uni. in the kit bag.
My grandfather was in Normandy he died there
awesome video! Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Is that a hoodie? Did soldiers wear them in ww2?
cool video, when ur in Holland u gotta see the Airborne museum in Oosterbeek. lets meet :)
As always Thank You for the History Lesson
Our pleasure!
This Channel should be Required Learning in Schools
He died and pill box 6 I never met him
3:55 When I was in the military my wife also called my UNIFORM an outfit. Soldiers do not wear outfits.
it's spelled Guth but I read he pronounced it Goo-te
I went by to see Erik yesterday 😊
GOD BLESS AMERICA
And all the allies who fought and sacrificed ✌
I love seeing these.
Thanks! Glad that you liked it.
Definitely on the to do list...have to go before something bad happens and its gone...important to remember the sacrifices so it doesnt happen again...noone wishes for peace more than a soldier because a soldier has to pay the ultimate price..your videos are surpassing Norm Christie's,,,if you havent heard of him check him out...Pro Patria

thank you jd for this video very interesting something about bond of brothers and special dick winters my love bond of brothers forever ❤💕💙♥
another excellent show. Thank you, from England.
👍👍👍
Thanks, I had my own questions about how and why there are so many "original jackets" around.
👍
Thank you for keeping history along with the lives lost and sacrifices alive! Keep up the great work
You bet!
I love these videos, I have bought almost every single book involving Easy company. Keep up the great work!
On my bucket list is to go to the Gettysburg Museum.
Also what is the intro song?
I'm a US Marine Three tours I
When you go home, tell thim of us and say. For your tomorrows. We gave our today.
Great work gentlemen. Hope to visit Normandy some day.
We were at deadmans corner , many years ago. It was very interesting. Very tragic story.
