Down the Cellar 107 - Happiest New Year
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ม.ค. 2025
- Tom and Ob wind up 2023 down the cellar with the best people anywhere ever in the whole of time, space, and the infinite cascade of higher and lower dimensions: our viewers.
Guest starring a golden head, a tower of trophies, and Jack Wittmann...
and RARE ONSCREEN APPEARANCE OF OB WITTMANN!
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 TH-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 an 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

Happy New Year to one and all.

Still love the video's just a shame as a working men we have been priced out of the hobby. Good job i have the video's. All the best to team Whittman. Wwg1wga love from the United kingdom.
Happy New Year to you all! All the best for 2024 and CONGRATULATIONS on the billiard tournament win!👍🥂🏆🥇
1:02:50 is the story the GI or the Nazi ...keep doing what you do Tom, thanks
Well Tom and OB,
Awesome video again!
OB that was hysterical about the shadow mustache 😆
That SS dagger is a beauty.
The credits at the end were excellent as was the bonus scene with Jack and Marie.
Happy New Year 🎊
Saved this video for New Years. Its 12:49am in AZ. HAPPY NEW YEAR COLLECTORS AND WITTMANN MILITARIA!
44:41 That AH photo is taken at the driveway of the Berghof
Hei !! Thank you for the next video :):) Happy New Year !!!
You can use your smart phone to translate the german writing on the back of the of A H photo or any other writing.
All the best for 2024 and please keep up the DTC's🎉🎉🎉
I really like the Army (Heer) dagger in the Luftwaffe scabbard with the Army hangers - I agree it should stay the way the vet brought it home from the War. Hamilton, GA is north of Columbus on the Alabama border & Snellville, GA is north of Stone Mountain on Hwy. 78 south of Athens.
Yep totally agree leave as it is
That dagger was accurately described on your web site and also in the unboxing video. I would have been thrilled to have it, leave it as it came back.
Try Ginger Ale wuth your whisky Mr W........youll love it ...... Happy Hogmanay from Scotland 👍🥃
Merry Christmas ⛄ and Happy New year!!!! Mr. Whitman, Ob and family 🥂🍾 break out the good champagne...cheers
Great videos Tom keep them coming in 2024.
❤❤❤ Happy New Year.gruss Felix From Düsseldorf Germany and thank you.billard Champ
Happy new year to everyone at D.T.C. and congratulations on finally winning the pool tournament sir, all the best of health and happiness to everyone in the new year and lets hope that we can get together for many more Sundays of drink, collecting and companionship.
Great video as usual ! Happy New Year Wittmann’s !!
Thank you for a great year of shows and many more happy new year’s
Thank you all for another wonderful year of videos! Happy New Year.
Them mountain girls are good for mounting😂
Thanks for all the great entertainment in 2023. All the best for 2024🥃
nice video! being a helmet and headgear collector for some 45 year now, i love the childs helmet and the decals are same size as a combat helmet! ss dagger is really really nice and and rare. pictures and all are real nice too. thanks for sharing happy new year to you!!
Very nice things. I enjoy your videos!! Happy New year 🎉
Tom;
The Christmas pool tourney is such a great idea in that it gets the family under one roof for the holidays. When you get a tradition like this going, family members try not to miss it and are more likely to put other holiday obligations on the “hold” list. Congrats on your 1st win! Put that baby somewhere you’ll see it every day!!
Happy New Year to Tom and his family 🎉🎉🎉
Can't get history like this anywhere else - the original photos were really cool.
Happy new year, i never miss an episode, love it
Congratulations Mr. Wittman and Happy new year
In the picture Tom the SS man is personal valet to AH, Heinze Linge.
Wittmann never fails to crack me up. Ob too. When Wittmann was fussing about the returned Army Dagger the look onhis face was priceless. Happy New Year Mr Wittmann and Ob.😂
Congratulations herr Wittmann
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you guys ! 😃🍾🥂
I think a series of videos on fakes is in order. This would be educational and overdue for the collecting community. Fakes are so abundant and widespread, a serious discussion is necessary. It seems to be getting worse and and worse and may be threatening to the hobby. Many collectors can stomach getting stung once, but after two or three times, they jump out of the collecting community. It would be great to invite other experts in the collecting world. If they brought good and bad examples for teaching purposes.
What do you expect? The third Reich collapsed nearly 80 years ago. You will not find any more equipment, medals tunics, daggers helmets, et cetera, most nice originals are all in collections! Why would anybody want to sell an original double deck SS M35 helmet or an original SS honour dagger unless they’re desperate for money? You can’t exactly go down to the SS dagger shop and buy another one can you?
So what’s left is being touted around the military fairs in both Europe, and the states for decades! I started collecting and dealing 30 years ago in the UK, and you had all the dodgy scumbags around then but most of them are dead or retired now but with some exceptions, they are now being run by members of their families, such as regimentals, that was previously owned by Malcolm Fisher and is now run by his fat bastard son who if it was possible would shit diamonds! You would have a point, but today collecting third, Reich is just nonsensical unless you know the original history, and in that respect, you will need to be very lucky and very wealthy to trust what you’re buying! This has never been a hobby for people with low incomes! This is a business which makes hundreds of millions and a lot of it goes into the drug trade especially in eastern Europe. I know of people who have walked into situations where they thought they were buying something special and ended up being robbed and left for dead, this isn’t really a hobby. This is just a money, making Business!
Have a Great New Years. Be safe
Happy New Year Mr. Wittmann from Germany. Are you related to Michael Wittmann, the famous Tiger commander?
A happy and prosperous New Year to all. 🎉
You forgot to add the Pepsi to the last drink. You looked at it after you sipped it. Lol happy new year and thanks for the videos.
I'd be happy to have that dagger the way it is.
Happy New years Tom🎉
Happy new year Mr Wittmann 🎉
Happy New Year! 🍾🥂 BTW Nice win in the pool tourney. We used to do the same thing with ping pong.👍🏼
If my wife had bought me any kind of militaria I'd be thrilled.
Happy New Year everyone !!!
Congrats on the win, at 80!;)
happy new year
👍👍👍
Seasons greetings. I’m not seeing enough Shroomjaks on that wall. 😏
Regarding that signed Hitler photo, you shouldn’t put the cardboard behind the photo again (as it was when you opened it). Cardboard is highly acidic.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Tom and Ob!
that bust is f***in sick! had to say it
Happy New Year to everyone at Wittmann's!
Happy New Year guys...
loved the k98 bayonets,i have a number of them
Tom is good he must have german Irish Blood he likes a drink that's good as long as he's not bothering nobody. I like his Video's he's great knowledge on third Reich.
What ever happened with the SS jacket that was cut to shreds by customs. Any link to information or video of this
I think the standarte is from Unique Imports
Every dog has its day mr Whittman!!
When my father was alive the pool table was a battlefield 💰
I've got to get one of those ice coolers, ice that doesn't melt.
The “AH” flag is a 1970s Delta International Reproduction. The leather corners are a dead giveaway.
Adolphus went to France,Russia,Italy,Austria-again,Czekoslovakia believe,
Why dont you man the camera Tom and lets see what Rob looks like? I dont remember ever seeing him or probably missed it.
Nope!!!! Leave it as it came back! It's the history of it.
Leave the item the way it was when it came back from the war. Once we start fiddling around with the items we lose context of the history.
I am getting a book about heinrich henler of the Reichsführer
The "signing" on the back of the picture AH, Child, Woman just says "Heil Hitler". It is no signature.
Signature is on the front
Ob... stop talking. Thanks.
Congrats on the win Herr Wittmann!
