- In these Eastern Front woods we discover equipment that was abandoned by the SS during the final days of WW2. The artifacts indicate the destruction of a SS Panzer Division that had to leave the front line in a hurry. It's incredible to see what they left behind!

This adventure I teamed up with:

You should do a video of cleaning up some of the best finds of the day. For example: The phone box, enigma machine, etc. I think it would be very cool to see it all cleaned up after so many decades.
I second that 👍😊

A not completely destroyed enigma machine is crazy
We were really blown away by it as well!
Apsolutelly amazing
@@mdww2battlegroundsя тоже поражен!Где вы нашли напильник и лист железа?Я вам таких игрушек 1580 в месяц сделаю
That thing is *priceless* , dude.
Directions were to dismantle the machine and dispose of parts separately, primarily the Wheels as shown , obviously it could not be destroyed by fire, Ships, U Boats etc to throw parts in sea , there is a Jap Submarine that delivered supplies to Germany in WW2 and collected among other stuff 200 Enigma Machines for use by Japs, it reached Singapore where it dropped off 50 Enigmas and set sail for Japan but not far outside Singapore it was sunk by hitting a Jap Minefield , presumably the Enigmas are still in wreck (Google it , Jap Subs supplying Nazi Germany)
these are so cool finds. an enigma machine is an incredible find, but like the guns in decent condition and that badge. this is incredible. so many great finds.
We had a great trip! And this is part 1/2. 2nd part of this adventure is launching mid december 😄
2:35 Bro finds a piece of metal and he's ready to tell u that he is a Wikipedia
Idk how u can recognize that thing in 2 seconds, but ur amazing👍
You're my favorite UA-camr
I was thinking the same. It requires a lot of knowledge and experience. With a small screw found he may guess like " Oh, look guyz! it's a Panzerkampfwagen's top lid hinge's third screw.." Respect.
It takes some years of experience indeed. Once you find a specific object, it is easy to remember it!

Panzer badge? Field phone? Enigma machine?? Incredible stuff! As always thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for the spoilers😂
Thank you for the support!!
That badge is in crazy good condition. I'd be pretty ecstatic over that find. Congratulations. And thank you for another interesting video!
We were as well! Thank you!
Wow, what a fantastic day you guys had finding all those treasures.
This is way cool. 80 years since the end of the war and still finding artifacts. Thanks for your work it really brings ww2 to life for me. My parents went through the war.
Well preserved

WOW... what special finds. Keep this site marked and come back some day. ❤
"Notes on serving the Wehrmacht" was the large print on that label. It is instructions for something. I can't tell what.
"Ersatzsicherungen" is "Replacement fuses."
„Merkblatt zur Bedienung des Wehrmacht-Rundfunkempfängers“ is „Leaflet for the use of the Wehmacht broadcast receiver“
Best video, yet!!!
You guys hit the honey holes!!!
Thank you! And this is only part 1/2 of this adventure 😄 Next upload in December. Stay tuned!!
That Panzerkampfabzeichen looks to be in bronze, not for panzer crew, but possibly more than likely for a Half-track or Armoured Car etc
Omgoodness! That Engima machine was an amazing find! Thanks, guys, that's a banner! 😅👍
Great finds. One of the best videos yet!
Great video. Enigma machine!! Holy smokes
Hope you and your team will come back to this place. Fantastic finds and congratulations for finding parts of an enigma.
2nd part of this adventure going live in December!
Awesome finds guys💪🏻 the enigma roll ist very very nice and seems to be in a good condition🙏🏻
Congrats and greetings from Germany
AC
Thanks for watching!
Great finds boys. Impressive.
Thank you!
That enigma machine is INCREDIBLE! What a video!
Another great video, the last two rifles would be good to restore to static display having the wooden parts restored.
Omg these are some amazing finds. There are so many bras shells and rifles. Great discovery's.
Brilliant day. Congratulations for the finds of the year
that meds was in amazing condition, really cool!
I'm German and I can tell you, that on the "paper" there is nothing about an Enigma..
"Rundfunkempfänger" is a simple radio-unit🤷♂️
Prachtige video ik kijk graag naar jou video's top 😊
What can I say but another great find video Mike and companios.
Beautiful find of history❤
Interest stuffings ...smooth footy too,
Wow...great finds
Awesome video 😁
great finds mate :)
Great videos as always 👍👍👍
Another amazing video, great finds.
Do you ever worry about live rounds ?
Some fantastic finds!!!! would be so amazing taking these out of the ground, the stories these items could tell omg
I find this incredibly interesting, and I would also be interested to see what lies in our forest. Do you need a permit for something like this and what do you do with all the treasures???
Max verstappen's got some good hobbies!! Well done max !😊
What are you talking about ?
@@TerryKnight-hw3pg they are Dutch....
@@rupertwilliams891Got it , l don't often see F1 references on these sites . 😅 .
Amazing finds love your videos plz keep them coming
Super exciting stuff!
great video
What do you guys do with the stuff? Very interesting 😊
Panzer Badge in Bronze for Panzer Grenadiers not the Silver version as you described
looks more like a MG 34 barrel would match the bolt found nearby 3:53
best videos at your channel. how do you always find out where something was in World War II ?
Id love for you to privide us with a map showing rough areas at the start of videos where you are detecting within a country in relation to battlefield locations etc. I hope this is something you could add?
Hi just started watching ur videoes i am fascinated by all the things u find its a hobbie of mine just got my self a new metaldetector hope i find as much as u 🌞
Do you think all that stuff might have been buried or just left there and was covered up over the decades?
you should make a video showing some of your best finds that you've cleaned up.
When you say left in a hurry, do you maybe think there’s a chance they weren’t alive?
Maybe the dump sites were from fallen soldiers? They items found seem to be stuff that one wouldn’t leave behind?
Dull question but do you survey and record the items & their location, like an archaeological dig? I know it’s modern history but the future may welcome that sort of information.
You found a rotor for enigma, not enigma. This is realy nice and very rare find, but comparing to the whole enigma it is nothing.
The phone was cool🎉🎉
Long time subscriber and love the video, just wonder why you never show your faces?
The videos are about WW2 history, not about me. I never felt the urge to idolize myself, the real story is about the WW2 soldiers that fought on these battlegrounds.
@ wow very well said mate. Ty and keep up the great work bringing history back 😊
Amazing
Hello in the video in 11:08 you found a czechslovak cold war collar badge for motorized infantry
It’d be really cool if you knew someone or could get your hands on like ground sonar technology imagine if there was a giant artillery gun burried close by I’m sure something that big would light the metal detectors up to though
Where do these guys metal detect?? I’m moving to Germany in a year and I’d love to get some of my own finds!!
Echt bizar gaaf!
You should really consider doing an episode on the things you have found all cleaned up and displayed
That would be far more interesting than mud and rust 😂
what country do u do these vids in?
I really want to get into this type of stuff
Where are you digging?
Weer mooie vondsten mannen. Met name het enigma onderdeel en de veldtelefoon
It would be nice to know what country or region you are in. My grandfather died April 6 '45 in Hungary and 'so' if you were there it would be especially meaningful for me. As he was attached to 6th SS Pz Armee. and they were encircled and had to abandon bogged down vehicles and break out. He died of exhaustion/hypothermia. 41C
Brandenburg, Germany
Looks to me you were in a certain Spot of the Halbe Pocket.
Just asking what country are you guys metal detecting in only the country name only only the country name will be very helpful
It is in the state of Brandenburg in Germany
this was probebly hours of work and metal ditecting
Love the videos and knowledge in Canada. Have you made a video of your personal collection?🇨🇦🍻
The soil seems to be sandy so might be near Berlin or the coast.
Brandenburg, Germany
looks like Hurtgenwald didn't know there was anything left to find I think you are from the Netherlands? Also search days planed? I have been searching for almost 15 years and would like to join the search to share experience and knowledge
In the Hurtgenwald a Soviet artillery position? Dont think so 😅
That would be very strange indeed I missed that in the video but always nice finds👍
I think that near my village was eastern frontlines in Lithuania near Švenčionys
Brandenburg, Germany
Guys, Een Vraag voor Ye. Where is the location, just the country is fine. I know you probably want to stop people from scavenging the site. Thanks.
Brandenburg, Germany
In the 1980s BBC sitcom Allo Allo which if you have not seen it was about WW2 in occupied France. A cafe owner and his wife and staff are in the French resistance and they get a message on the radio which the cafe owners wife Edith reads. "The Germans have a new machine for encoding secret messages it is called Enema" and Renee the cafe owner says "My god the lengths the Germans will go to to pass messages". One of the staff says "No Edith it is Enigma".
wheres the girlfriend?
seriously tho so amazing that you are finding this history!!! LOVE IT!
how do you know in what areas to look for these?
just subscribed because the cutest British girl recommended this to me and now we are romancing
Thanks for subbing and good luck to the both of you!
LOL sweet..ponder instead in Panzer :)
Nice finds today. I find it amusing when people say "it's really hot, over 30 deg C" (86 deg F) lol. Where I live, last summer we had a week of 46 deg C (115 deg F) and one day it was almost 49 deg C (120 deg F). That's the air temperature, no heat index to speak of with 5-7% humidity.
Have you ever tried digging or doing garden reconstruction in those temperatures? 😄
@@mdww2battlegrounds Yes I've had to do major sprinkler repairs mid-day in mid-summer. It sucks. In summer I do after work road bike rides for an hour or so to stay heat acclimated and this last summer I measured the temperature of the pavement in front of my house - it was 143 deg F! (61.7 deg C). Avg temps on my rides are well over 100 deg F. I almost fainted waiting at a traffic light this year... this kind of insane heat is hard on a 58 year old.
Эту питьевую чашку ты у меня вчера купил на авито.Эта питьевая чашка не твоя.
Halbe area?
Halbe pocket?
Schöne Funde….grüße aus Brandenburg
What finds
Would be interesting to know if this was on the Eastern Front or the Western Front
Read video description 😄
@ Thank you!
это где ?
Votre camera pixele+++
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪💪
Odd question for you, what do you do with everything you find, do you have your own collection, do you donate to the local museum? Would you ever send anything to the ones who watch your videos? I would love to be there to find something to bring home, my collection disappeared a few years ago, it was all medals and ribbons, things like that, even had the ss rank that would equal a two star general, all gone now. And trying to find anything here is almost impossible. Or the seller wants an arm and a leg for it. Please let me know.
Nice finds! Love your Videos!
Are you allowed to keep the weapons? In Germany you are Not even allowed to Transport they. You have to call the Police and only they can Take Them 😅🤣
Sometimes Rules are made to be broken my friend. What they don't know won't hurt.
