      I bet you it was because the computer systems saw all the Nazi flags and auto demonetized it, and ever since the ad-pocolips, you tube plays it safe and close to the vest and just ignores most requests involving demonetization. they don't want to invest large staff numbers to review it, so even if their system is wrong 25% of the time, that's still 75% cash flow to them, whereas upsetting the advertisers would mean a complete loss of revenue which they wont allow to happen.
      it's really sad, A lot of channels that i follow are dealing with this and some of the people who I would watch regularly have just stopped making videos because of it unfortunately.

    What an incredible collection. I'm so glad he is preserving it and showing it to others. My paternal grandfather was in WWI and brought back many a 'souvenir' including sharpnel from no man's land and his 1911 sidearm. He was too old for WWII but somehow got many an artifact from the German side. When he died, I managed to gather almost everything and hang on to it including the SA dagger with no trace of ever being inscribed on the reverse of the blade. Sadly the two things I did not manage to save were the two 'backpack frame' German generators. They were similar to the GG 400 portable Generator but had a much smaller fuel tank on top at least as I can fuzzily recall. I suspect given their diminished fuel capacity, they were for starting probably a jet engine. I also suspect he got them through Von Braun as Grandpa knew him through rocketry after the war and met him several times at Purdue's JPL.

    Amazing and very important thing you're doing sir. God bless you. I know it'll never happen but I'd sure enjoy seeing your collection in person. who knows perhaps I may be able to add to it. somewhere in Victoria BC Canada at my brother's place is a small brass box my father made to hold tobacco when he was a prisoner in Buchenwald. When you showed those photos it sort of gave me a chill. It's possible but against the odds that my father is pictured in one of them. Thank God for people like you who are preserving the history free of government who might want to bend the truth for their own reasons.

    That ammunition you were holding was the M 30 8x56R Steyr caliber, packed in charger clips for the updated Austrian M 95 Steyr straight pull rifle, updated from 8x50R caliber. Wooden bullets were actually blanks that could feed from machine guns, with blank adapted shredding the soft wood, rendering harmless about 20 feet from muzzle. Headstamps of most of those blanks indicate they are from once fired live rounds then marked to indicate releading. (Hydaulic process used to remove Bredan primers.)

    See, this guy ain't gonna live forever, naturally, and hopefully he's got someone within his family to take the same amount of care of all this stuff after he's gone!
    Too many times I've seen or heard about someone spending their entire lives building an exquisite collection of rare and valuable artifacts, only to have it all picked through, divided up, sold at auction, or just discarded completely after that person inevitably dies.
    And that's SUCH a shame!
    CLEARLY this man has made this collection his life's work, a life he only gets to live ONCE, and if the children and grandchildren don't carry the same level of respect for the collection, and all the work behind it, it can be more often than not scattered to the wind once that ultimate certainty called, "fate," comes.
    Recording the collection and uploading the videos to TH-cam is an ideal way to document it for all time, but the photographic evidence is no good without the objects themselves.
    So, as I was saying; Here's hoping that whoever the collection is passed down to will prove a worthy successor, keeping the collection intact and is even able to secure his/her own worthy successor, as well, so the items will remain in their current state of highest respect for the foreseeable future!
    (BTW; Trump is a fraud and a con artist. "New Yorker," or not, he's not going to get us into ANY wars in either North Korea or Syria, because it's not the President who declares War, it's Congress. He may be able to authorize limited cruise missile strikes, to pump up his dwindling poll numbers, but for the AUMF from Afghanistan and Iraq to be extended, the reason MUST be Terrorism-related. And, since it's the House of Representatives that holds the power of the purse, for all his blustery rhetoric, President bone spurs won't be able to send any troops to any foreign battlefield without America or it's Allies being attacked first.)
    (It's easy to be pro-war when your fighting days are over. It's our young American men and women who will be doing the fighting. You know, your grandchildren. The best conflicts are the ones we can avoid sending out children and grandchildren to DIE in.)
