Hi were there any engineers in the 502nd?
@@VojtaBabka to my knowledge there wasn’t any engineers assigned or in the 502nd. There would have been demo train paras in the 502nd tho.
@ww2usairbornecollector368 ok thanks for the info
keep it up mate
Thank you, gonna put more effort in TH-cam this year.
Schrade, not skrad. It’s like Charles Schwab. Sch = shh 🤫 Not sch as in school “skool”
Nice video! Thanks for sharing this great info!
Makes sense. Nice vid!
I was just wondering about power and battery technology for these things.
@@jaytecx5942 the battery’s where massive lol. I do have the manual on the battery’s so can find more info out on them.
@ww2usairbornecollector368 Yeah cool mate. I'm watching Band of Brothers, and wondered how long range mobile comms held up back then.
To my knowledge it was about 5 miles with the sort aerial and I think 15 miles with the long aerial… i believe. That’s like best case scenario with it not being in a forest or built up areas
Most underrated ww2 TH-camr
@@jessicamantor762 thank you, much appreciated.
Great video, a lot of people mistakenly use the Morale K-Rations for an early Normandy impression, usually without knowing they weren’t around then. The Morale boxes were introduced in May 1944 if I’m not mistaken, therefore many people claim they were made before D-Day, but in reality a month at the very most is not enough to make, pack, package, ship and distribute these rations to the troops for the invasion. I’ve even seen SOF (Soldier of Fortune) selling morale boxes saying that they’re “correct for D-Day” because they’re May 1944. Anyone only needs to look at photos and so far I haven’t seen a single Morale box used on D-Day. Most people just use morale boxes because hardly any repro companies make the early style.
Thank you mate, it does happen a lot.
cheers
Is all of this original including the scrim and net?
So we learned how it was used in "Saving Private Ryan" in WW2 combat. The mines are collected in a group, electrical cord (likely Permacord) is attached from one end of the mines, and then the other end of the wire is attached to an electrical detonation system. At the right time, the one who is ordered to activate the mines does so well away from the explosive "kill zone" of the mines, presses the detonator button and the mines blow up. Of course one does not want the enemy to know the mines are there in plain sight, so the mines are camouflaged usually with rubble or dirt or grass, before being wired up before exploding them.
Do you know if the 508th used rigger pouches with a pistol belt or did they use a cartridge belt?
Very interesting, particularly for someone with a great big bit of wood flapping down the side of my leg.
whats stopping you shorting t shovels and pocketing the difference.
How many likes for uou to push the button 👀
@@NoseCandyKermit haha, I reckon a couple of thousand. I reckon I’ll do another video on this soon. Had quite a bit of interest on this lol.
Nice
How did you even find that? Cool channel man
@@djanthaz hi thank you. It was a load of searching and a lot of luck.
1. What does it destruct with? 2. Is it still in there?
MoonBeam!!! We use the plastic versions of those to this day.
A SELF DESTRUCT BUTTON makes anything cool. 😎👌
Wow
Can you do a vid on how the self destruct works(obviously without using the one on yours)
What a collection you’ve got, amazing to see. Money well spent .
This is amazing. How much does this go for altogether?
Then how do you get this did some soldier disobey orders?
@@legendgodmyth Hi this more than likely was never issued and never used. Just been kept in storage for many years
I wouldn’t want a great big piece of wood flapping down the side of my leg either
Very nice, I didn't know this.
This guy collects shovels .😅
I actually have a rigger made shortens folding handle one that about 6 inches shorter
@@sdkz995 that’s cool, I am on the market for one of those.
Very informative!
Very cool
Interesting little piece of eqipment there! I hope you're doing well, because that is property of the US Government, and you removed it from the airplane
Very cool did not even know those existed
Wow, I didn’t even know these things existed. Really interesting bit of kit. Keep up the the information 👍
@@Parrotrooper thank you, yeah this is a really nice bit of kit. Don’t see too many of these about.
@@ww2usairbornecollector368Yes, it’s often this small items that get overlooked by most collectors (and museums), I might look at reproducing one in the future.
Nice jeep
Very nice, I didn’t know they modified them for the Thompsons as well. Also I think the modifications were Market-Garden and onwards. Great informative video as usual, keep up the good work!
You have a jeep?
@@clowes123 hi, yeah had it for years. Its 1943 willys jeep.
@ww2usairbornecollector368 nice i have a jeep from sicily year 1943
Great bit of kit there mate
Nice!!! Love the videos! Currently working on my kit. Any tips on where to buy original gear for a 101st Normandy kit?
Thank you, really appreciate that. That is million pound question lol, it just comes down to searching the internet and heading out to as many military fairs as you can with luck on your side lol. If you have insta send me a message and I can help you out with some contacts too.
@@ww2usairbornecollector368 ok…what’s ur insta?
@@ww2usairbornecollector368 ok is ur insta the same as ur yt user???
@@ww2usairbornecollector368 what is it? Thanks!
Ww2airbornecollector
Wow
HES BACK
I definitely agree, those are all excellent books, especially Michel De Trez's ones. Dan Mackay (Miss Drop 44) has written his own GI collector's guide, I don't own one, but I've seen it several times and it looks really good.
I wonder how much that all weighs
Thoroughly enjoy your videos and passion for collecting. Keep it up!
The filter is not www2 on m5 gasmask
Your not even American
Where’s the life belt
Awesome collection! Thanks for a very informative, interesting video!
I have a civilian gas mask bag pretty sure it’s just the civilian variant of this.
Great video, with some great ideas for packing my own Musette bag! Thanks!
