The term "OST" during World War II can refer to several things, so without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning behind the arm band with those letters. Here are a few possibilities: 1. OST as abbreviation for "Ostfront" ("Eastern Front"): During World War II, Germany was engaged in a major military campaign against the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. Soldiers stationed on the Eastern Front often used the term "OST" to denote their service or affiliation with this front. An arm band with the letters OST could have been worn by German soldiers or personnel specifically deployed to the Eastern Front. 2. OST as abbreviation for "Organization Todt" (Organisation Todt): The Organization Todt was a civil and military engineering group in Nazi Germany, responsible for constructing military infrastructure, fortifications, and public works projects. It played a significant role in the construction of the Atlantic Wall, among other projects. If the arm band has a connection to the Organization Todt, it could signify a member or worker associated with this organization. 3. OST as abbreviation for a specific unit, organization, or location: There were numerous military units, organizations, and locations in Nazi Germany during World War II with initials or acronyms that included the letters OST. Without additional context, it is challenging to pinpoint the exact meaning behind the arm band with those letters.
I'm hoping for a really long video of the show or shows. Love that so much. I always look forward to it. I wish I can go there from Netherlands. Unfortunately, that is not financially possible. Have fun. Greetings from 🔰 The Hague/Netherlands 🇳🇱
I hope your audience can appreciate the time and workmanship it would take to inset those SS ruins into the Bakelite grip. Bakalite fissures very easily; I don’t know how they did it. It would be to expensive a task today to duplicate. Very nice! P.S-Hope you have a great MAC show! You should, your one of the guys who started it all up!!!
Morning Mr Whitman and Arb, it's 7.21am here on this great weekend. Always look forward to your videos and will be gutted I won't be getting up to your latest one next weekend as you n Arb will be away working, to sell and buy fresh stock for your punters. Have a great time father n son. Hopefully see you when you get back. All the best from Phil Colley from England.
The Imperial Japanese Flag with the Fringe That Deb helped to hold up , Is A Scare Imperial Naval Regimental Flag ...these were presented Personally by the Emperor Himself ... They were ordered destroyed so they would fall into enemy hands ... Super Rare this is the first one ive seen live ... It's Priceless $$$$
Greetings From FISHBURN Co DURHAM 💚 n peace always . Klitterman and Moog you say, and the 78 record early in the video, Moog were one of the first to develop the synthesiser ,GET THAT VINYL ON , Great video some collection of Luft's,wow how many tables,best of luck at the show,be safe and looked forward to seeing everyone next week end 👍😊👏👏👏
My understanding is when Klitterman and Moog picked up Jacobs RZM they were required to abide by the Jacobs specs submitted to RZM and were required to include the exclamation mark
Great video tom! So many different pieces this time and man beautiful things! I hope you guys do great at the max show you are the flagship militaria dealer,if nothing else bring back lots of good finds for the website.
The SS armband looks okay however there isn’t a makers code stamped on the RZM tag. I would get a second opinion at the Max show, maybe someone added the tag to an original armband? But being without a maker is a red flag. The fakes are so good these days!
great show Tom. alot of great items for sure. i love the dd police helmet which is actually ss too. good luck at max show you certainly have great items to display and sell.
A sidenote to the word Volkssturm. In 18th century HRE Landsturm/ Landmiliz/ Landfahnen ( Fähnlein was before Louis XlV era german word for company or battaillon) , or Landesdefension had been used for the nearly untrained and bad equiped levies of fightable men, mobilized to support
The pole top from the sports league; advertise it as sitting on the desk of Wilm Hosenfeld and ask $20,000 for it….they’ll be knocking your door down to get it!!
I’ve saw blue and white “OST” chest patches, I’ve never saw an armband tho but it looks unissued. The chest patches were worn by forced laborers and the blue/white “OST” badge identified them as being eastern workers normally Russian or Ukrainian and in 41 after the invasion of the Soviet Union they deported nearly 6 million into forced labor camps.
Geez If you paid any attention [before complaining] to the video of the jacket at 12:40 you would have known that it already them two tears in that location before he ever pulled it out.
Light mistake by you Arb on the silver tray. You said it was EWS, but it really spelt AWS. Sorry to pull you up on a genuine mistake Arb, or are you sure that was only your 1st drink of the day 😂
You're fresh out of luck. Money's too tight. 😄 In reference to the Japanese flag. Why can't you call it "Rising Sun"? People look at a SS dagger in a weathered condition and write it off, should realize that that dagger should be revered more than one in perfect condition as that one has a history, where the pristine one doesn't. Not a very attractive bust of AH. York Pa. also has the Harley Davidson Assembly Plant. (US made. Parts made elsewhere🤔🤨) Have a safe trip. PS: I've been watching for over an hour and I'm the only one commenting. 😄
Please keep one of those Japanese flags for me cuz I would like one of those I've been a fan of the Japanese culture a lot never owned a Japanese WWII flag

Great vid. The maker of the bronze AH bust sure didn't make a very flattering likeness for 1933.
My understanding is when Klitterman and Moog picked up Jacobs RZM they were required to abide by the Jacobs specs submitted to RZM and were required to include the exclamation mark
Your double decal police helmet Q64 is a later M40 production, because the maker mark is stamped over the batch number.
Great video tom! So many different pieces this time and man beautiful things! I hope you guys do great at the max show you are the flagship militaria dealer,if nothing else bring back lots of good finds for the website.

Wrong Button! Mobilized to support regular troops in case of Emergency.

❤❤❤❤😂 First.. Happy Weekend Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany an thank you Sir
Good fun at the show, enjoyed this one too, have a great W-E !!
People are now addicted to your videos. Naturally when you skip a week they think something happened to you.
Mr. Atwood has some interesting hobby related history.
Tom, great video as usual, but Sudetenland, not Saar land. maybe a big lunch before the video and imbibing? 😂😊 😅
Go easy with the blade Tom.😂
I’ve saw blue and white “OST” chest patches, I’ve never saw an armband tho but it looks unissued. The chest patches were worn by forced laborers and the blue/white “OST” badge identified them as being eastern workers normally Russian or Ukrainian and in 41 after the invasion of the Soviet Union they deported nearly 6 million into forced labor camps.
Enjoy the show gents🥃
Geez you put a tear in the jacket of that Horst Wessel record with your thumb at 13:10. You need to be more careful.
He's more worried about how much booooozzzz and cigars he gonna do in an hour.
Mr.wittman need realy be much more careful with some Items 😢
Geez If you paid any attention [before complaining] to the video of the jacket at 12:40 you would have known that it already them two tears in that location before he ever pulled it out.
@@darrinrentruc6614 oh you’re right, someone already used it has a pull tab to bounce the record into the sleeve. My bad 😏
Light mistake by you Arb on the silver tray. You said it was EWS, but it really spelt AWS. Sorry to pull you up on a genuine mistake Arb, or are you sure that was only your 1st drink of the day 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯 tuyệt vời

You're fresh out of luck. Money's too tight. 😄
