I have now watched a couple of Whitmann's Videos and i need to say : Thank you for taking care with so much love and passion of the german heritage. I am from Berlin ,my great grand father Was Obergefreiter der Luftwaffe- Infanteriedivision . I really apreciate what you guys are doing. Its more than a hobby , its responsibility
Collectors like Mr Wittmann are an absolute gift to history. The story`s he is passing on along with these items are pure gold. So glad he shares his collection and story`s with us. Great upload, many thanks!
@Oliver Aeternus Im in the British Isles. Ive got an Iron Cross that was liberated from the Reichs Chancellery by a British Officer in July 45. Agreed our soldiers didnt tend to really bring stuff home.
I have a watch, a Glashutte, that came from German ace Emile Claude who was on the mission that shot down and killed General Montgomery's predecessor, General Gott. That mission, most definitely, had an impact on the outcome of the battle of North Africa. The watch came from Claude's wife as he had died in 2010. She gave me a signed book authored by her Emile, she signed the book. I also received personal pictures, Emile's signature and all of his medals. The watch is in beautiful condition and it still keeps great time. I wear it often on a Bund band. I know it's not period correct but they go so great together!
Wow the cigarette case blows my mind!! Just to be able to touch that case!! This guy has a museum quality stuff!! And he deserves to own it all. He takes good care of it. And he tracked it down and looks after it! Bless his heart!! Your doing great work!! Thanks so much for a look into your superb collection!!
@@mikewest5529 and i DIT NOT say it was fake only i say its the most easly thing to fake so to me to one of the least inpresive things in that collecsion
Thomas, Mr. Wittmann, Sir, I'm following your videos for years, I'm from germany and a collector myself, but I have to say, looking at your older videos, it's still a delight to watch, seen this one so many times, and showed myy friends, thank you. So precious daggers, wow. at 4:25 the inscript on the chain: "gold zur wehr, eisen zur ehr" = "gold to defend, iron to honor" - another speech to make it cheaper :) As a watchmaker myself I'd love to have a look at the works.
I'm not even insinuating that my collection was even close to Mr. Wittmann's. But the best part about collecting those items is everything has a historical and fascinating story behind it! It makes showing people your collection come to life! I was fortunate to be able to purchase some of my collection from Mr. Wittmann. It's was always an exciting and ultimately profitable trans action that was always fare! Not enough can be said about what a fine and knowledgeable gentleman Mr Wittmann is! He's a true treasure to the collecting community!
i want to buy a few pieces from him, could you tell me where he lives or how do i find him? i know he has a webpage but i want to buy personally. Thanks
Great program an what a collection I love the history of world war 1 an 2 my favorite was the inscriptions in Mercedes cigarette case what a piece of history
This was just super! I love those old daggers. I saw my first one in the early 60s. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. This is a real treat! I love military history. You have a fine collection sir.
How sweet would that be if you did a genealogy kit like ancestry.com and find out he is your long lost grandfather or something. That would be amazing.
Imagine how awesome it would be to live next door to this guy I would love to hang out with this guy drinking a nice glass of 60 year old scotch smoking Cohibas talking knives and looking at his amazing collection...
Fantastic work you are doing. Thank you. For collectors your channel is the most interesting I have found. Keep up the good work and you are appreciated
What a beautiful collection sir, so much history behind these beautiful items, thank you for sharing. You must sit there alone with a glass of the good stuff and feel the history.
I think the blade being broken on purpose according to tradition makes the blade even cooler, I love blades and items that I can associate a genuine story with.
Kurt Wolff was killed in 1917, Richthofen in 1918. He took over Jasta 11 when Richthofen took Jagdgeschwader 1. But still a great story with that watch
Seeing the boat dagger made me feel angry at first. My mum lost her father in the North Atlantic in 1940 to a U boat. When I saw the broken blade and heard the story I felt peace once again. Fascinating.
Really enjoying these and have just subscribed. The watch and cigarette case are fascinating. Would love to have a cigar and drink with all involved. Thanks for sharing!
In the Hitler era, the gouvernement tried to use old designs, to show the german people, that they ( the Nsdap party) are keepers of german tradition. One of those things ,tradition keeping' had been the uncommon, strange soundig ranks of SS. Before the thirty years war the military words had been german, but after the war lots of french words came in use. A Hauptmann became a Capitaine, or a Feldwebel became a Sergeant or a Fähnlein became a battailon. So the Gouvernement tried to reintroduce german sounding rank names.
The chain on that watch says "Gold zur Wehr, Eisen zur Ehr" which means gold to defence, iron to honor. This was a patriotic donation deal, people could spend private gold for financing the war and they got nice iron pieces like that chain as a reward.
I saw a damascus SA dagger in an antiques store in Annapolis, MD many years ago. Can't remember what they wanted for it or who the maker was or even if it had the Rohm inscription but it was a beautiful knife. I could not afford it at the time. I've always wondered who wound up with that knife.
I just started collecting WW2 German swords and daggers...never had so much fun waiting to hold them and ogle each one. This site really is interesting, thank you for your time and determination to wake us up to the beauty of collecting.
Respects to Thomas Wittmann. A "heavenly" collection for those who love WWII-era German daggers.A "heavenly" collection for those who love WWII-era German daggers.
Wittman has been caught selling fakes multiple times. Every good collector knows to research every single item before he buys even if it comes from a charming, knowledgeable dealer like Wittman.
@@hellbillygoebig9446 you're CLEARLY new to collecting Third Reich militaria. Visit War Relics or Wehrmacht Awards forum & search Wittman's name and let me know what you find rookie. Dealers like Wittman love collectors like you
@@hellbillygoebig9446 I know you're a rookie for one because veterans know that 3R militaria is so extensive that no dealer can know everything and that every now & again, even the world renowned dealers have fakes slip by. The issue isn't an isolated incident of a fake here or there. The issue is countless fakes & dealers who do not remove them from sites when presented with evidence that proves the item in question is a fake. That said, if you're the type of guy who would buy a piece of ocean front property in Arizona because you easily get caught up in the charm put forth by the seller, then there isn't much I can do for you. At the end of the day, it's your money and your loss if you buy fakes because you didn't do your research. I do however take issue with lazy buyers who refuse to do research because they keep fakers in business & keep our beloved militaria hobby flooded with fakes.
Connor Richardson cause your pushing vids on the web with your collection. Your collectors talk page looks like a collectors sausage fest gossip page. Obviously you’re jealous of Whitman. Take up your issues with him. All in all the Hobby lacks common sense for surviving tactics anyways rookie. Hope u can carry your collection. I collect but obviously not on your level stain. Simply because of fakes. Lord knows I only have one head for my one m35 double decal. And it’s Luftwaffe bitch, so u know it’s a real double. And if I’m a rookie, then I’ve been a rookie since history class 15 yrs ago. This rookie is smart when collecting, buying anything cloth from those times is damn near a waist because of fakes, besides flags maybe. Hope all your arm bands are real champ? Plus I’d rather spend money on modern needs & wants for my family & I. Hope the fire doesn’t get your entire collection lame. Hey thanks for the websites. My guy is “Veterans Foot locker” look him up & tell me he’s a fake bitch
@@hellbillygoebig9446 Lol, seems I touched a nerve, "bitch". I get it bro, you bought shit from Wittman & you want to defend your purchase. You say you're a smart collector yet you buy the story not the item. There are not fake flags out there? I bet you think helmets are not faked either. You're such a fucking dolt that you think Luft dd's are never faked lmao. #rookie. I'm jealous of Wittman? Why? I'm not a dealer. In fact, I support dealers who have bigger collections & are more renowned than Wittman. Buying anything cloth is a waste? Do you not own any reference books? Do you not study your items? It's VERY obvious that you do not. Once again, you buy the story hook, line, & sinker. I can see why by your masterful command of grammar. Do yourself a favor & get educated, rookie. Post your Luft M35 to WA or WR. Let's see if it shakes out or not. Also, give me the link to your dealer. I would love to examine his collection.
Bud of mine in a military figure painting club in NJ in the mid 70s had a sterling silver presentation cup for a member of the short lived British Nazi party...he was in an antique store in NJ and saw the proprietor using it as an ashtray...my friend recognized it it for what it was immediately...didn't tell the owner what itvwas and bought it for 20 bux...he lived ina ratty old two story house in Jersey City in a really bad neighborhood...2nd floor...he was lucky his neighbors left him alone...his collection of militaria was large and covered much of the late 19th to 20th centuries....
I found a dagger that looks like the first one he showed but the handle isn’t wood at my grandfathers place in France (he passed away) and didn’t think much of it but now I’m starting to think about it
When placing diamonds in the swastika on the Naval Honor Dagger, how was the appropriate number of diamonds determined? Did the number ' 17 ' have a particular significance?
Hey, I had a Hi dagger from a bloke called Gregory from Poland battlefield but I sent it back cos it was Hallen to pieces, all for £15. Local Derbyshire plod, additionally, stole my found in Normandy infanterie k98 bayonet. It had salty damage but still drew from It's metal scabbard, twas neat but is gone.
The breaking of a defeated enemies sword goes all the way back to the bronze age. You still find such weapons broken in 2 in situ in the ground where they were buried or given to the water.
danielmc762 The cig case was clearly Carve signed by that entire unit & also signed by a TOP NAZI u Momos . Whitman as a true Collector who couldn’t stomach not paying that person some real cheese. If that item is authenticated which I’m sure it was, it’s flipping worth thousands. Flipping Herman Goering‘s signature, come on guys.
@@hellbillygoebig9446 Seems the other people asked a price and he gave them what they asked. But the cigarette case HE made an offer. So it was an offer he thought was fair.
‘War spoils don’t go back to the family, that’s the whole point’ is just childlike logic. If I looted like that in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would’ve lost rank and perhaps my freedom. We cannot claim the moral highground when we were especially known for looting and theft to the point where the British complained and asked us to reign it in. We eventually cracked down on it but far too late in my opinion Looting and theft (and ra pe…sadly we had the highest statistics in this field only beaten by the Russians) is seen as the hallmark of a highly undisciplined army and this in fact was our reputation both the the Germans and our fellow allies. We did many studies after the war and the lessons learned helped us to tighten up our act in later generations. Can you imagine the hew and cry we would’ve yelped if the Germans looted off of Prisoners and dead bodies? They were in fact quite disciplined in this aspect. POWs had their medals, etc placed in Red Cross bags to be returned upon repatriation or wars’ end.
Ok he ripped off a gun dealer. When you sell professionally you set the price. He did not rip off some guy with no clue. Please listen first to the whole video than comment.
Портсигар содержит подписи ведущих асов первой мировой войны,включая Красного барона Лотара фон Рихтгофена,Германа Геринга,Удета и др.это музейная вещь.My greatest respect to sir wittman
Really good at leaving items up for sale on website that have already been sold. Tried to purchase 4 different items 4 different times that were flashing NEW on website. After each email I sent about the 4 different items, I received emails saying items had been sold ALTHOUGH they were still listed as new on website. What a croc. Also I see he has been caught selling fake items several times.
