    I always enjoy Mr Wittman's relationship advice and observations on women in addition to all of the militaria expertise, both are clearly coming from deep lived experience. ;)

      There was a pile of swords that we couldn't get to without the video running for two hours, so there will most likely be more to come.

    As an avid viewer & amateur collector (beginner) I'm following your channel since I discovered it a few months ago. I learned oh-so-much from these videos, a big THANK YOU for that, together with "WarStory military Antiques" my go-to youtube-channel these days. One question: I see here and there some interesting beer brands around you, Mr. Wittmann. Could you shortly give us an overview what you are enjoying there? And maybe a bit about your favourite cigar brands? That would be just interesting & wonderful.
    Plus: I'd be delighted to translate anything from german (my mother tongue) into english, if you got something. Or help out with some kind of background information from over here, living my whole life in Niedersachsen & I got around a bit in our beautiful country. I'm sure you have your people for that, but maybe I can help anyway, I just feel the urge to give something back & maybe contribute to the hobby in general.
    Thanks again for your awesome content & greetings from Hannover, Germany.

    Sabers, having a similarity to british 1796 or prussian 1811 ,Blücher' are still produced in Germany. But they are only used by , Historical Town Guards' or in some regions the ,officers' of competion shooters societies.

Its History and they're damage and doing just for money. I bought in the Country side some sword Eickhorn and some Daggers . They're good ,but you really have to be with open eyes . Take Care Sir !

    Makes sense that the SS would have to earn the right to wear the "doppel siegrune" being as they were basically Templars & practitioners of the mysteries.
