Down the Cellar 140 - Situation Normal

- It's a slow boil in summer's cauldron down the cellar. The pace tends to slow down to that of a slightly off-kilter rocking chair as August crawls along.
At least your summer lazing will not be interrupted strident calls to action, no clickbait thumbnail, no desperate begging for likes, no subscriber shaming, no engagement farming questions, no bell banging or Patreon pleading!
BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
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 a major Luddite paralyzed by techno-fear.. He's convinced his phone is spying on him.
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". Just email him, srsly.
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

Sad that Australia criminalized collecting history. That's an absolutely amazing photo album, I never would have parted with at any price. As Americans, gents, and with your profession, we need to avoid such government overreach.
I never understood the fear some people have when they see a Nazi Germany Swatz. Yes, we all dispose what they did but why some get so offended by a sign is beyond me. It is like giving it a power that, in itself, it doesn't process.
Because of ignorance. Many people today confuse Neo Nazism with the Third Reich.
This post is ridiculous. You don't understand why someone would fear a symbol that was used by mass murders.
@@erichl1167 I don't think you understand the core of his statement. If your grandfathet showed you a dagger he captured from a German officer, why would you turn away in fear, instead of respect the piece of history? You have no business watching these videos if that's the case.
@@jimrutherford2773 I don't think you understand. You brought up a specific scenario of a grandfather showing the grandchildren a war prize. What about the grandchildren of a Holocaust victim seeing the same symbol? Different people may react differently based off their personal experience. You have no business judging how people would react to something if you haven't walked a mile in their shoes.
@@erichl1167 they have nazi articles in the Holocaust museum. These are historical items. You have to know how to control your emotions based on the context of the symbol. If they were neo Nazi poster just posted in your neighborhood then there is great concern. I have racial anti white symboks painted on the walls in my area of BLM with a raised black fist. Should I be concerned? Probably as I look at it is provacative. The context here is these are historical artifacts sent home by soldiers. These are in Jewish collections, museums, and in the homes of families whose jewish relatives fought in the war.
Greetings Gentlemen!
Great video! Great items and always good to see you again, makes me feel like I’m still there with you! Thanks for not forgetting me and all the best to the entire crew,
Johnny V.
If I ever had a chance I would keep that book from anybody because that's really valuable history
It was a great collecting era when the internet began, deals to be had and older collectors/dealers had not yet had trust in purchasing online. Now eyes are on everything and rarely does a piece escape its top price 😮
I would have kept that book to myself and not let anybody tell me that I can't have German World War II history items it's a part of History
Thank you, professor Wittman for another good and informative video. I hope I can maintain the same passion that you have for history when I'm 81.
Photo album is gold
Hello Team Wittmann! Lots of fantastic pieces in this unboxing. The photo album is flat amazing! Also, I adore the stag grips of the RAD.
The late great George Burns lived to be a hundred smoking six cigars and drinking whiskey every day.
Well, he’s just one man isn’t he? Most people who live this life? Don’t end well. And to be honest Mr Whittmann doesn’t look very healthy here. He’s lost an incredible amount of weight and frankly looks quite gaunt 😢
Over the last 5 or so years I've gathered a pretty nice little collection of SA, SS, and a few Luftwaffe daggers. I'd love to hear what you use to clean/preserve the blades of your collection, I personally like renwax but I am sure there are some great alternatives as well.
Thanx for another great video, that Photo album WOW!! Incredible .
Landwacht was the Dutch police who worked fot the Germans.
Also but this is not for the dutch paramilitary unit. Only red armbands with wolfsangel symbols are correct. This is for german auxiliary rural police units from about 1942.
I love that photo album!
There are so many huge collectors that watch this show and these guys should send in some pics for everyone to see! Where are the guys with Steve wolfes stuff?
Лютый дед! ❤
The smell of evil
An American flag of the same vintage smells nearly identical, if not the same. Let's not attempt to attach an evil organization to science.
@@timothymarshall8623Yup! Its all about who you choose to demonize solely based on propaganda, no research. Certainly, not YOUR side, that has killed millions more, in so called wars of democracy, freedom.
You fart?
The way to a peaceful hobby is to have an separat bank account in which the misses isn’t involved…
wow that's amazing can't believe that photo album graet video
nice show for sure. great daggers minus the NPEA.
Oh helllllll yeaaaaaaa!!!
Amazing album . Wow
Still following mt hero !! I'm not a collector, but enjoy the shows !!
why is there English writing across the top on that marching band goblet ? that should be in German shouldn't it ? i've never heard of Goring being referred to as just plain "general " ..... just wondering
I found it to be fishy myself initially. It does read “Regiment General Göring” which was a flak regiment.
Also ,the silver hallmarks look English to me and if im not mistaken 'J DIX' could be for James Dixon ,a top English silversmith! Also the words Regiment and General are in English? Best ,(Ross ,England)
I think the goblet itself was made in England
If you look up "Krug, 925 Silber, J. Dix" on Google there was a pitcher that sold that seems like it may be from the same set.
Definitely not English, those are not English hallmarks. The crescent moon with crown is the mark for German silver. I saw a pitcher for sale from the same maker that sold online. Looked like it was from the same set. I would be highly suspect of any of these silver items. Fakers in Eastern Europe are very good at creating real back stories to provide provenance to a fake item.
❤❤❤as allways, Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany.ps keep Cool in Germany IT IS 33 Grad
40.56 flagman in the photo with a mustache worked as a lawyer in germani after the war
Nice Army daggers, where there no regulations for the colors of the grip?
Are the pics in the album original photos?
2024 MAX SHOW

York Expo Center

❤I apologize for being late ⏰ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thing is now a lot of big militaria collections will be sold off as the owners are dying and the families just want the money! Even poor old Tom here has probably only got about five more years left in him, he’s looking very frail?
I think Tom looks great! And still going strong!!
He’s very healthy for his age and sharp as they come!
