Keep the Nazi Eagle. It's part of history, don't let anyone destroy it. The Graf Spee can't exactly be lifted, even if it won't break - it would be insanely costly.
Let the Nazi Eagle of the Graf Spee be put in a museum, along with info, pictures and a small model of the pocket battleship. Either in Germany, or in Uruguay.
I loathe the destruction of historical relics, including that of the Nazis. Everything that can be preserved should be preserved.
You're right, when you look back in history you don't see who was wrong or right you only see what is there, history itself, something that remember us all the stuff humanity has been through for us to be here now
Sir yes sir
It's in very shallow water and very possible to recover but why would anybody want to do such a thing, it's a grave site and should be respected.
Shall we all wait for a comment wanting it destoyed since it has a nazi symbol?
I completely agree well said.
About Number 6, old WW2 bombs are found every other day in Germany. It's quite a routine find here and a constant reminder of the past.
I know it made me laugh, unexploded WW2 munitions are found all over the UK OK a weekly basis
Same in the Netherlands around the coast
If market garden was a success Then Churchill wasn't a heavy drinker
Your mom
@@oliverhauser228 😑
"Weren't much more than bones By the time they were rescued" by the time they were rescued? I hope if I ever need rescuing they come a little sooner than that!
It’s never too late to send a soldier home, is it?
@@vickit7149 No it is not! However, that would be a recovery, not a rescue.
Dictionary "rescue": save (someone) from a dangerous or distressing situation. A dead person can not be put in a dangerous or distressing situation. Only living people can be rescued.
@@purplehayes5718 I’m going to assume thats what the speaker meant.
@@vickit7149 of course that's what he meant. What he meant and what he said are two different things. Hopefully next time he will use the correct verbiage.
@@purplehayes5718 Katrina doesn’t make many mistakes but no one is perfect..
"Operation Market Garden was a total success" lol, I suggest you look up it's history.
Well for germans it was
@@Key-wg6dn haha correct
As a german this made me laugh
@@nicholasgallo3599 yup
SUHT up lol
operation market garden was one of the most famous allied defeats of the war, how could you switch it up so bad.
good job on the war
whoever said they agreed with the alies (joke)
I believe Monty said right from the start it was doomed to failure.
But Yanky General wanted to test state of readiness!
As none of us were there,we will never get the truth as to what really happened.
@@peterandrews6678 very true and it seems you are a Brit
@@colefrizzelloriginal l can’t remember who was commander in chief.
Was is MacArthur?
Even his own kinsmen said he dragged his heels.
But we were all on the same side, and it looks like we will do it all over again.
There shouldn't be any issue with showing Nazi items with something near it explaining about the item. It's best to not hide historical things, no matter how horrible it might be. It's better to remember the bad things of history, then to forget them and allow history to repeat itself.
But wen slavery is brought up som people say leave it in the past
Well said ..history is there to help guide the future if we have no history we have no future
I agree, you cant deny the past unless to want to lie to yourself.
If you survived a concentration camp would you like to walk out of your home to see a symbol of oppression and death camps in a city park...
Right? Just a bunch of left wing cry babys make a big deal about it
If there’s no large eagle found as the thumbnail suggests I will find you.
Lost all credibility when they said marker garden was a success. 😂
Who said she was in the side of the allies
@@NoNo-ub6gu lol that is a solid, but dark point
It was a success though!
For the Germans! 🤣
Yup
Like didnt even bored looking jt up ..
The captain of the "Admiral Graf Spee" didn't just "end up dying a few days after his capture..." He committed suicide. The Royal Navy didn't "destroy" the Graf Spee. It was badly damaged. The ship was forced to leave the harbor of Montevideo. But instead of facing the British Navy in a battle which the "Graf Spee" couldn't win because of its damages and the lack of ammunition, the captain ordered to sink the Admiral Graf Spee. Why did he commit suicide? He wanted to show that he wasn't afraid of dying going down in a "blaze of glory" with his ship in a battle against the Royal Navy but he didn't want to sacrifice his crew (about 1.000 men) in a senseless slaughter.
As far as I know NOBODY went down with the "Admiral Graf Spee".
By the way, many captains of the British merchant ships which the "Admiral Graf Spee" had captured went to funeral of Hans Langsdorff the captain of the "Admiral Graf Spee".
ikr so many mistakes in the video
Meanwhile, paulus surrenders the entire 6th to almost certain horrific death, and goes on to a nice retirement in east germany WITH HIS PENSION no less.
imagine putting so many mistakes about a so beautiful ship with such a great history
graf spee wasnt even a battleship, it was a heavy cruiser or called pocket battleship but it was a cruiser
"Operation Market Garden was a total succes" They even made movies about this "succes". Just another "faceless youtube channel" that only wants ad revenues.
Operation Market Garden was a complete failure. They didn't have their tanks make it in time and also they didn't or was able to hold all of the bridges of that they were supposed to hold. I don't know where you got your info on that but that operation was a failure. Just letting you know that.
You know they had other plans when Operation market garden was an failure.
You need to stop watching films. It was meant to be a mess up to put them off guard. 🤦♂️🤣
@@joeburrows6 Ah ok.
Also landed on German special forces
@@anthonybarfoot7745 Mhm.
It's crazy to think that there's so much stuff out there that still hasn't been found from pretty much every war we've had.
ya I now
The research and education of this video are shocking. Since when was Operation Market Garden a complete success? Co Down is pronounced as County Down.
It was a success....for my people :)
@@stomper1234 for OUR people
@@simonriley1981 im american so it was a loss
@@simonriley1981 for me anyway
they have been seeing the remnants of the Admiral Graf Spee since it part of the ship remained visible above the surface of the water where it was scutted.
14:19 Our narrator sounds way to happy for such a situation.
Over here in England finding bombs from WW2 is not uncommon, sometimes some very large ones due to the sheer amount which were dropped by the Nazis. We usually get two or three a year which the army do safe detonations on in fact a local metal detectorist found one on our local common a few years ago, we heard the army blow it up from my back garden.
Interesting fact about the so-called 'Bermuda Triangle', it's a very busy part of the world due to the sheer amount of ships and planes which travel through it however if you take the percentage of ships & planes which disappear and compare that to the rest of the world the disappearences are actually FEWER (based on percentage) in this triangle so it's actually SAFER there.
Germany even has significantly more British and American bombs. Around 5,000 bombs have to be cleared in Germany every year.
heh, Here in Slovakia in certain areas every time i go in to the woods i find few bombs, i just check if they have active fuse, if yes i call police if not i just left them... 99% of them are mortar bombs from ww2
Imagine finding a fallen soldier and all their stuff that would be fascinating to see something that hasn’t been touched in decades
I go hunting Arrowheads and get to keep my plunder. Hundreds or thousands of years old.
"Nazi eagle" it was actually called riech's adler or emperial eagle
Who cares about what the nazis called it.
@@redclanwool1590 history does
Still a nazi artifact.
Number 5 : flight 19
No discoveries were actually made, we're all still tryin to figure this out
I have made an amazing discovery! It is .....nothing.
And it's not even from World War II
How was #5 a discovery from WW II? She only briefly talked about the missing training flight.
it was never a discorery it was and still is a mystery
Operation Market Garden was an initial success but ultimately failed when armored forces under Montgomery failed to arrive on time to exploit the Airborne forces success. See the excellent movie A Bridge Too Far.
Band of brothers
It was disaster,listen historians allmost was destroyed by germans. General market garden,not experians soldier in battle with few ledars who hate each oder. And equipment was damaged they didnt have much of them in battle.
Thanks for the great info!!! I'll have to check that movie out!!!
i almost would say, come over to where i live. I give you an tour, bcause the bridge to far is in my city ;) can't get closer ;)
The inaccuracies pain me
6:41 That's County Down, it's not the village. You have them backwards!!! Hahaha
2:03 I live 4 kilometers from where the plane was found. It is a coincidence that he was found, an older man claimed that when he was young during the war, a plane crashed nearby. Eventually, someone took it seriously, scanned the area, and found out he was telling the truth. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
War is a horrible thing.
"Operation Market Garden was a complete success"
If we're learning about history, then make it correct. Market Garden was a total disaster for the allies and lost much more souls. For exmp. battle for Arnheim, British almost lost all their paratroopers
To make it even more correct, it’s spelled Arnhem
You never said what happened to the 'Reichsadler' or the German heraldic eagle from the Graf Spee. I'm really surprised ive never read or even heard about this before. Now I have to look it up lol.
the graf spee wasn’t sunk she was scuttled in the Harbour and the captain wasn’t captured he killed himself in his hotel room the rest of the crew wasn’t captured either
I think there's a magnetic anomaly that messes with their instruments
Operation Market Garden was a huge failure
Market garden was not a success..
Cannot ignore the faint sound of Turkeys in the background music.
Hahaha so I wasn’t going crazy then 😂😂😂
Where do you people get your facts from, and who is the one mangling many of the names in this video?
The Graf Spee was never attacked. The captain thought there was a much larger force waiting for him off the coast and took the ship into Montevedeo harbor where the crew was disembarked and the crew scuttled the ship right there in thr harbor. Its location was never a mystery. The local government forbade salvage until the law was counter maned, and the salvage company removed the eagle as part of their salvage efforts.
TH-cam sites seem to make up their own history
Yeah i wanted to write a comment to about that, but the Graf Spee got damaged after a battle with British ships... Graf Spee reached neutral port, but she had a small time for the repair before she kicked out of port... Hans Langsdorff had to make a choice, go into the sea and battle trough the British blockade or let the crew live and scuttle the ship.
Not to mention the complete lack of awareness about operation market garden
Awesome to see that my find is op the top 3 😁, yes I found him. Awesome video great job!
Was it actually you?
How can you get so much wrong in a single video? All of these "finds" are well documented and easily verified.
agreed. poorly researched and very shoddy. terrible
Almost EVERYTHING she said is wrong. good lord Market Garden was a total failure.
Thankyou someone who mention operation market garden
"operation market garden was a total sucsess" you dofuss it was a complete falure the paratroopers had to pull back after the german tanks came in from the forest. and then colonell sync said that I quote "It's just going to be kids and old men"
Number 6. Actually used by Luftwaffe dive bombers in ww2 during german campaign in air battle over England, so much of these unexploded bombs were found alongside England countryside
Dude its literally a mortar shell.
@@honis9254 true
Fortunes of war...
You got the location of Uruguay wrong. It's further north
Operation market garden worked for the first 24-hours and then was a complete failure after that I suggest you check out your historical facts looking at the movie a bridge too far
Hi how are you doing tonight??
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
You enjoy historical inaccuracies and oversimplified facts and terrible pronunciation?
@@tylerjerabek5204 leave me alone
I love your channel. Thank you
These are incredible!
mortars dont really just get "left behind" lmfao
I'm so happy you put the Winter soldier theme in it!
Are you related to Field Marshal Montgomery because Operation Market Garden was a total failure and it was his idea 😄😄😄
Flight 19 was not a crazy anomalous mystery it was that the crew were low on fuel which a airman said “We should head to the closest island or airport” but the Captain/leader told the airmen that they will continue while since the captain did listen they lost all their fuel and crashed into the ocean this could of been also due to the weather.
The Graf Spee was not destroyed by British fighting sea vessels. It escaped to port of Montevideo and to effect repairs having taken significant damage during its engagement with them. As British ships were outside the port and more were on the way, the Captain of the Graf Spee decided to scuttle the Graf Spee to ensure no more of his crews lives were lost and so the ship did not suffer the ignominy of being destroyed by the “enemy”.
For those who are wondering what was the C.O.D (Cause Of Death) to the captain of the Graf Spee, he was labeled a coward for scuttling the ship that 3 days after the loss of Spee, the captain was willing to pay with his life in honor of the flag so he said, he took his gun and kept his word, and then he commits suicide in his hotel room.
Interesting WWII discoveries. Thank you Katrina for the awesome video. Twice in one day.
Wow I love this
In germany every year we found some big bombs in our city’s, that’s totally normal here :D
Market Garden was a failure guys
The pocket battleship "admiral graf spee" or refered to as just graf spee did not have a swaztica eagle on its bow, also the battleship that you have shown is a british king george V class battleship. It was scuttled in a bay in uruguay when it was located by the british cruisers, ajax and achilles. it had already sunk a handfull of british, dutch and french cargo ships and heavily damaged the exeter and ajax. The graf spee surrendered to the two british warships and was towed by tugboats to be scuttled safely.
Gott in himmel help us if kids don't know a BOMB when they see it.
Correction:
The Admiral Graf Speed Sank (I believed it was scuttled) A Couple Miles Away From Montevideo, it is also Described as a Heavy Cruiser.
“SPEED”? POCKET BATTLESHIP
I thought it was a light Cruiser
Straight to the list already? I already like this
Good finds enjoyed the video
The Graf Spee was a Cruiser, it was scuttled, and operation Market Garden was a failure.
yep you are correct
No intro, straight to the point. Love it
The South Island of New Zealand has the most drinkable fresh water per person, per square mile, on the planet. It also has some of the most cleanest tap water, especially North Canterbury.
OMG, so many inaccuracies in this video - example - Market Garden failed in its most important objective: securing the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem. The Germans slowed and then halted the armoured brigades advancing from the south before they reached the Rhine. The First Airborne Division was unable to secure the bridge and was withdrawn from the north side of the Rhine after suffering 8,000 dead, missing, and captured out of a complement of 12,000 men. Historians have been critical of the planning and execution of Operation Market Garden. Anthony Beevor said that Market Garden "was a bad plan right from the start and right from the top."[11]
I'd LOVE to have that eagle. That's a cool looking piece of history.
In 2017 i bought a ww2 german photoalbum diary belonging to a lieutenant adjutant he was with erwin rommel and Herman goring in sicily and was one of albert kesslring senior officers he was in the afrika korps and was with the 7/71 Luftwaffe flak motorized company his story is incredible his diary weighs about 5kg and has roughly about six hundred fotos he had a german italian driver named arco who drove him around in in a black Mercedes-Benz to all of the high up meetings concerning the afrika campaign his diary was penned with four different inks i bought the diary from his great grand daughter for 200us dollars
Wow, I'm sure a museum would like a look at that. My grandad left me an album from the other side, when New Zealand fought Rommel in Egypt and North Africa. He was wounded so theres lots of photos of nurses.
@@icebergrose8955 it took three years to get the diary translated it was written in Prussian he talks about how the unit came together where they came from who they were there journey through germany down through the balkans through partisan held territory in Yugoslavia and belgrade onto athens greece air support to libya taking tobruk harbour with rommel special mission up the leg of italy to greet Herman goring in sicily setting up of communications for stuka night fighters defending tobruk harbour from allied attack with 88mm flak guns rommel continues to advance towards the gazalla line with the italian arie tank division they decorate a casino in the desert battle of alamien where he places his regiments of men he takes control of a radar unit with a encypted decoding machine similar to a uboat code relaying information about the height of enemy aircraft back to the flak mounts where they would bring down allied aircraft in enormous numbers the bsttle of alamien how it started the retreat of his men wounded with drivef while destroying records so they wouldn't fall into the allies hands continued to lead from the front lines even though severely wounded made it back 1100 miles back to libya collasped on the operating table plane back to athens greece his last entry caught a hospital train back to germany lived in America after the war under a alias i no both of his names his diary goes into enormous detail what i have told you is nothing that is just a little bit of the story being chsse by raf hurricanes desert storms that lasted days there is just so much
@@jeffodonnell9551 that sounds amazing. Im surprised the family sold it. One of a kind I'd say, I'm sure historians would be interested.
The photos are unbelievable there are only two civilian photos the rest are all military there are photos of rommel goring and kesslring in the album most are all afrika korps photos in desert uniform
@@jeffodonnell9551 you should get the British Imperial War museum to take a look. It's really a hard to find new sources after so long. Your album may have never been seen before, that's rare.
Great video
Don't ever, EVER, think about destroying anything of historical value!!!
Regardless of what its history is. If it was good, it proves we can progress. If its bad, it reminds us of our mistakes and not to repeat them.
All history is vitally important!!!
I think there might be currents in the Bermuda triangle and I am not sure how the planes would fall out of the sky but once they hit the water and sunk I predict that currents might have dragged the wreck away
I think its because bermuda tiangle has dangerous weather. That might explained ship and plane fall
The leader of that training flight was not very skilled and had recently transferred from a base on the other side of Florida or the Keys. He apparently forgot he wasn't flying in the old area and, becoming confused, claimed his compass and navigation equipment wasn't working. He then had them fly northeast to try to find land despite that condemning them all. Planes eventually ran out of fuel and ditched into the ocean.
Pretty crazy that rescuecraft went down as well though.
It really is such a tragedy that people can't appreciate history even if it's infamous. My family fled from Czechoslovakia during world war II because we were Jewish and I find all artifacts so interesting and it would not bother me at all to be on display. It's a history that must be known not forgotten. Seems to be the narrative though nowadays let's just take down statues and get rid of artifacts because it offends some people's feelings. It really is such a disservice and takes away from the importance of remembering history. That iron eagle is amazing and should be displayed. It's funny to me because a lot of the people who complain have nothing to do with the history that they have a problem with. You have white people 23-year-old privileged college kids protesting for black lives matter destroying businesses You have once again privileged white girls complaining about Confederate statues. Then you have non-Jewish people complaining about Nazi memorabilia. Stop being so sensitive It's really not doing anybody any favors.
To forget or erase history dooms us to repeat it. As we see in 11/2023. ❤
I don't think that Flight 19 can be considered a Discovery as no wreckage was found
And it was after WW2
The possible reason for the disappearance of flight 19 is that the planes and all 14 airmen had been struck by lightning and died and the same thing could've happened to the ships and the other 13 men.
your channel confuses me. do you include footage of the story in question or just photos that give representation? great stories tho.
Representative
A combination, sometimes they’ll show the actual artifact
Thank you for the update, Katrina..!! The discoveries remind me of a hidden and abandoned U-boat filled with treasures being found at the port, near where I used to live back in the 90s. The incident was reported in the local news, but quickly forgotten.
Source?
love how you jumped into the video with no bragging respect i subbed
So many historical inaccuracies
Love this channel
What was the 'Incredible Discovery' of flight 19?
They discovered that they still haven’t found it idk (although according to researchers they may have found one of the missing planes)
I’m still wondering how Market Garden was a success
Cool facts
Half of them are wrong
And then probably had a heartache. I think I would have cried
Didn't realize market garden was a success. Reading the memoirs of the soldiers that were there I'd thought differently.
I think "rescued" is the wrong word when they just found skeletons.
Well, better late than never...... 🙄
@@scottmcintosh4397 when skeletons are found, nothing was rescued though. They discovered that shit.
I did not see that coming! Out here, a lot of leftover junk from WWII is always coming up. I dug up a Q.M.C. fork the other day (Quartermaster Corps). I've found cartridges dated 1908-46 all over.
a couple of weeks ago my dad and i found a m.r.e packet
@@colefrizzelloriginal nice. The only thing I found here is a six pack box of used condoms...
The noise in the background gives me chills it’s like something scratching a metal pole
Friendly Brit here. Co Down is actually County Down. That’s what the Co stands for. Just in case you see it again in the future. Great video 👍🏾
Thank you Katrina for a terrific and entertaining “show” on WWII ❤️💝❤️🔥
@James Hama wtf
To bad it was wrong on so many facts
it's not Co Down it's County Down, pls do your research. I do love your channel by the way.
I live in Russia it’s really common to find ww2 items in 2020 I found a clamor luckily it was nearly empty but was still filled with 100g of explosive it was from a mk2 mine thrower I think I’m not sure though
I LOVE that all the tanks she showed of the amphibious tank was not the tank
It never ceases to amaze me. These people had all been warned with small children with them to be so careless. Yes Thankfully nothing happened. What is that all saying, "God protects fools God protects fools and idiot's!" And thankfully there kids.
Debbra, I think you meant "old" saying instead of "all" saying and also you meant "their" kids instead of "there" kids
i think it's God protects fools and drunks.

The actual reason why the Bermuda Triangle swallows things up is because of the methane that it has and makes it difficult for the planes to maneuver therefore they fall to their doom also the ships can go off the radar also because of the methane that is in the Bermuda specifically.
4:52 WRONG LOCATION POINT!
Hmm, Greenland didn’t have a choice about a base? So sad. Maybe we should have let them not have a choice about a being bombed and taken over by a bad man with a tiny mustache. It would have been nice if Denmark took care of it.
Omg i wish I could have the eagle with the swastica....I can imagine having it in my living room shit would be so badass
True story:
Me my parents and my grandfather
Took a nature trip to Washington it was this big cabin in the Woods near a river there a tiny bridge crossing between it,but on the next day me and my parents fished for fish around the river i spotted the bridge again i ran over there,my parents does't mine i mean what could happen?..well when i was on the bridge i was playing on the water with my Hands and then i grabeb something..it was really stuck i was pulling hard then it got unstuck..when i Saw it i instantly RAN to my parents and showed them what i found they took a second to realise that i was holding a Gernade!..thankfully the pin is not on it anymore that means it has been used this my crazy story' and yes this is real
I know u might not see this but when it shows u co.down it means county down we have others like co.antrim(county Antrim) just a bit ov help i love this channel keep up the got work 😄
So in your assortment of ' 10 incredible discoveries from ww2 ', is an old mortar, & the story of flight 19, that still hasn't been discovered ?, seriously, out of all the amazing things that have been actually discovered, these made it onto your top 10 list, that's just lazy.
I agree..
Germany thinks it can tell other countries what to do with found artifacts. The arrogance!
I mean, its still technically theirs...
@@enternamehere4124 Actually "technically" it isn't. A new republic replaced the Reich
I think bad weather is what caused the Bermuda disappearances… the weather turns in the blink of an eye there. That’s what makes it so hard to travel the triangle. But our ancestors did it for centuries carrying spices and other trades.
Honestly pretty interesting video good shit
I did found a bomb when I went to a picnic. Her personality was so explosive so I had to marry her😍
