Born and raised in woodland park Colorado, lived in the springs area 31 years of my life and damn it I never went to dragon man’s. Ima take my son when he’s old enough and we visit home. I loved the dragon bike at the parade every year
I went to Dragonmans back in 2021 and took the tour with the Dragon Man what a great day that was I would highly recommend it to any history of military enthusiast and if you can get the tour by the dragon man, he’s a class act and how many people like him around anymorehighly recommended
I’ve been to various military museums all over the world, but I have to admit this is the best I’ve ever seen genuine articles and I love. This guy’s enthusiasm it’s fantastic Well done🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸👌
Mel Bernstein (born 1945), nicknamed "Dragon Man", is the owner of Dragon Arms and a military museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Bernstein was born in Brooklyn, New York to a jewish family.
Good to know the Dragon Man is Jewish, I wouldn’t want to offend him if I ever visited his awesome museum. (I should have known because his name is Bernstein)It makes sense though because his collection is incredibly expensive and Jews are known for being successful individuals.
4:30 The Panzerschreck has "SA" printed in is so it means it has been in finnish military at some point, most likely bought there. Those things can still be found almost intact in lapland (fully rusted tho)
All this stuff is less than 100 years old. They're extremely easy to authenticate which he does before he buys them. And alot of it is from other museums
They're not called "Kaiser helmets", the correct term is Pickelhaube or plural Pickelhauben. The design originates in Prussia during the 1840s. They were used by Imperial German military up until around 1916 when they were replaced by the Stahlhelm. They were not used during the Nazi period, probably due to their Prussian origin and Hitler's hated of the Prussian military aristocracy. If you already have a WW1 exhibit, you should consider adding the Imperial German pieces there. It seems pretty sloppy to lump pre-WWII history into a so-called "Nazi room".
i love the dragonman and his exhibits but does does he just assume every german military artifact is part of the nazi regime? he has so many pieces in there that have to do with the german empire and not the nazi regime. im confused.
I took your tour last year, it was by far more impressive than I expected. It's impossible to absorb all the info and sights in one tour. I'm looking forward to coming back for a few more. Thank you for sharing your museum with us.
I showed my friend this video, who was a volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and he said, those gas canisters do not look like the ones the museum has, nor do those concentration camp outfits match what the Museum has. He said they do not match what they have at the museum, in storage and or on display. He wanted to be careful not to call them fakes, but he did said that 95% of these type of items are faked, especially the cans and uniforms. He said, their cans all look aged and handled, used, as where Dragonman's appear new, crisp, along with the very clean outfits that are not soiled, or appear worn. So that is very concerning. Maybe they are real he said.
Those cans are fakes. I wrote to his daughter showing why. Guess she deleted the email. To verify for yourself. google Zyklon B cans and then click on Images on top the search results. Look at the top and the bottom of real cans. See the wave pattern? Now look at Dragon Man cans. see the wave pattern? no wave pattern on his cans You can see this wave pattern on canned food items. Also note pristine condition of his cans
Does anyone here morse code on dragon mane museum Or type writer I think it's Morse code If you here please let me know if know what it's saying Or it's just me hearing things
Very interesting collection you have there in your museum. I thought about something, you might want to separate ww1 german stuff from the ww2 german stuff. They were different regimes and different wars. Maybe add some ww1 era german flags arround the ww1 stuff.
I hope and pray that your beautiful daughter keeps the museum going forever.🙏
daughters but yes I have no doubt they will. Its part of America. Dragon man one of the best Americans in history of America.
it wont come to that....but yeah, i hear that.

Both daughters both are beutiful there mother must of been very attractive , the dragonman though love him
He’s old school ,real man

How was the process for getting the appointment as well as getting into the museum? I feel like it'd be crazy high demand
Add this to my bucket list
I’ve been to various military museums all over the world, but I have to admit this is the best I’ve ever seen genuine articles and I love. This guy’s enthusiasm it’s fantastic Well done🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸👌
I gotta get there one day and see the Dragonman's incredible place - great for modelers like me so you can see what you painting is accurate

Absolutely amazing! Bucket list to visit the museum
Dragonman is just as interesting as his museum. Can't wait to come back!
Dragon man. You do have the biggest best museum in the country if not the world. You are an Icon!
Best of luck to you your daughter and your museum.
Bucket list DM, thankyou for taking the time efforts & cash to preserve this priceless history.
glad to see you doing good 🙏 and the channel thriving love rewatching your videos
Great video, cant wait to come for the tour !!
You have the best collection I have ever seen! Hopefully someday I can go out there
Best museum in the world
I worry about the safety of having so much history in one place, if there was a fire losing so many historic objects would be an absolute disaster!
Its amazing! Cant wait to see it this year!
This man deserves a *fortress* for all this.
Went in the summer of 2020, need to go back.
4:45 Your RAD flag is upside down.
No problem for the bats.
They were hung like that for a reason
yes... purposefully
This is just amazing, what a passion ❤ greetings from The Netherlands
Thank ypu for preserving history. Some of this is heart wrenching but its knowledge.

I miss going out there every year ! Dragonmans was great not only for the museum but the range and all the other things offer
I can’t wait to visit your museum sir
What an amazing archive. It should be preserved forever.
Respect to you brother. Much love from Texas! 🇺🇸
this man is a living legend
I’m in Denver so I’ll definitely be making a trip down there
going here and meeting dragon man is def on the bucket list
Cant wait to see the new stuff this year
3:20 There is a mistake on the sign. The right name is Adolf with f. greetings from Germany ;-)
I visited last year. I hope to make another visit this year.
Fascinating. Thank you for preserving our history.
FREDRICKSBURG! BUFFALOS!
I thought those were the Yeezy boots 😂
How does the dragon man remember all this history ? The guy is a walking encyclopedia of military history and hardware
Unbelievable museum dragon man
i wish i could see but i live in florida, keep up the great work man it looks fantastic would love to come see one day
the ending with the small guys gettign beat up in bars had me dying lmao
Hell yeah Dragon Man's back!!!
This is awesome man thanks for sharing
realistically dragon man could have an entire army if he wanted to
Hope I can make it out there one of these days
The history you got there is actually insane. Wish I could get to see that stuff one day but travelling would be pretty expensive
$10 million worth of authentic military gear and weapons just wow, I’d love to check this out one day!
Man I was in Colorado Springs last year I wish I could’ve gone to your museum. If I go again for sure I gotta check it out!!!
I wish this man lives forever.
Amazing collection
It was easy just scheduled to tour on their website. It was inexpensive and get there early so you can get the tour by the Dragon man
The legend himself
I wonder how much of these are counterfeit vs legit
All this stuff is less than 100 years old. They're extremely easy to authenticate which he does before he buys them. And alot of it is from other museums
@Bill-sj4fw it makes them easy to reproduce, he didn't tall about how he authentifies, others "museums" doesn't mean anything
@@Bill-sj4fw there are so many fakes within this collection. It is not even funny. No provinence to anything
@@hills8317 yet you can't prove anything is fake. Sounds legit
@@hills8317 so many yet you can't prove a single one is fake
That room must be haunted...
I've been to a lot of museums and never seen anything like this. I have to go here sometime!
One day I hope to see your museum.
See you in a few days!!!!
Leave it to a private citizen to assemble the finest miltary museum in the world .Very impressive. Salute to the dragonman !
Love your sense of humar! 👍
Would be a dream to be able to visit. Thanks for posting videos of this amazing collection. ✌️❤️,God bless America
I bet that place is riddled with spooks ? Love the museum very cool I have no clue how you found all of this what a great collection
"If you guys have any questions when im giving an museum tour just raise your hand"
I need to come visit!
Thank you.
Did Dragonman have Erwin Rommel's Tunic??
Amazing man! Can't believe how you got all this stuff....
Cool thanks I plan on going

Awesome video...👍
This would be Cartman's favourite place

would be a cool addition to do a snipers of the world section!
Great video thanks i was curious is the museum wheelchair accessible thanks
Fucking dope. See you soon, brother.

Love to go.
Good morning Sir....😀
I was recently given a Nazi Presentation Bayonet from the late 1930’s. I love it
When did they film the inside of my house?

It's known by collectors that he has a lot of fake stuff.

I would like to visit
I am going to come in 2 weeks.
I hate to say it he has less than a surface level knowledge on most of these items
3:32 this Flag is upside down
Anyone seen the father ted episode with this memorabilia?
That’s badass man
Does anyone here morse code on dragon mane museum

So half of that stuff is not "Nazi"? Please differ ww1 and ww2
You have any ANZAC stuff?
