I spoke to you many years ago as a kid and you were kind and encouraging in the hobby. 40 years later I still remember your generosity in advice. God bless you sir.
Simply incredible, Tom! Great message at the end about displaying these items. Too many collectors (myself included) spend untold money and time to acquire things and then we let them sit in basements and in cabinets until we can 'get around' to making space to display them properly.
As always- thank you for posting these videos! You offer tasteful and respectful ways to display pieces as well as encourage others to do the same. A true mentor for our hobby!
World Class! Such a beautiful collection. The stories of these items are incredible. As is the story to how you acquired them. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully BT
All i could think about was, ‘what a pain in the ass to dust this room..’ The other thought was; ‘His insurance company must be all on anti-anxiety meds’
Simply magnificent, Tom! I must say that I enjoyed your presenting the blade of the Seyss-Inquart piece to the tune of "Also Sprach Zarathustra". Added to the drama, I thought. And Strauss was, of course, Austrian so it's all appropriate. 👍😎
Fascinating really fascinating! I’ve never even seen a real piece like you have there let alone owned a bit of it. I can see you are passionate about all your pieces so thank you for sharing with us.
Wonderful collection! Especially liked your autographed frame of the Kaiser. I collect German, Japanese and American militaria and was astonished by your pieces! Keep it going!
a great collection TOM . I enjoyed seeing it. I believe you had a video a couple years ago of part of your collection in your home , but I cant find the video ? thank you terry schmidt
Thanks ever so much letting us have a look at your own personal home collection, and boy , what a collection you have,, à life times work, i bet you got many memorys of finding this wonderfull Tresure aswell,, i do excatly thé same at home aswell, i live with my collection, and every day feel realy good about owning this wonderfull world of German war time wonders, i have, porcelaine, flatwhere, Bunker items, lamps, Evan have an acordien, with DRP Drgm in a disc,, all found around thé north of France near thé Atlantique wall, Batterie Todt,,,
Thanks for sharing. So interesting history. I appreciate you showing your collection. I only have a couple of things original most my stuff is replicas but I love my stuff. Looking forward to going to a show soon think March 2018 in Los Angeles I live in Las Vegas Nevada. Keep your collection growing. Nick
If had a collection like that I won't even want to go to the restroom lol, just admiring in the video it's a wonderful experience I can't imagine what it must feel looking at it in person
I’ve watched this video a few times now and just realized; What’s behind those wooden doors )that we never see) in the double end-glassed cario cabinet? It must be something very special! Could it be your VCR collection of skin videos? Woo-La-La!
Good informative review. good collectible items. what is good in our country in Germany, it is difficult to find a good experience when your grandfathers cleaned our penates well.
I can personally attest that Mr. W is the genuine article (no pun intended). I reached out to him to thank him for his videos, and offhand mentioned a piece I recently aquired (that isnt particularly special compared to the amazing examples shown here), but he still graciously responded to me, and even gave me a little more info on my piece. I was really just sending a compliment on his knowledge, and didn't expect a reply. When it comes to knowledge and passion for Militaria- Wittmann is the real deal, Guys. But I guess that's obvious considering the collection seen here!
Mr. Wittmann I have recently acquired a 1933 poststuchze em 3rd Reich buckle Ifrom my research I have learned they are quite rare, I have never come apoum an image of one , only the later 35 aluminum postal police versions, I am trying to sell it, but is proving difficult because nobody can authenticate it . YOUR dissertation into this relic would be much appreciated. thank you
Bruce, If you could send some good quality photographs to: wittmann.militaria@gmail.com, I'm sure Tom will be happy to take a look at your buckle. And thanks for watching!
How do you leave your home without worries that it will all be gone when you return? I have a large Colt collection that i would love to display. But its locked away in a safe.
I've watched so much of these programs. That along with all the documentaries I have watched. I feel like I can almost read German.i have no idea what I'm reading but it is interesting. LMAO
I had a hell of a collection of third REICH military ..nothing like yours.. Damn nice collection by the way. I have nothing left. I had to sell all because hard times.. I would like to get another helmet. I had 8 with original decals. Had a rare 28th Waffen SS Belgian Walloon helmet with painted national shield .I kick my self in the ASS for selling my collection. Probly will never be able to build it again.
What an amazing Collection I have been collecting ww1/ww2 items for about 35 years & now & then buy truly amazing items, but your collection is The holly Grail I would dearly love to meet you sometime I am from a very wet part of the world Scotland United Kingdom brrrrr
I was repulsed by the fact this man said he was "honoured" to have the sword belonging to Artur Seyss-Inquart. Let us remind him that Seyss-Inquart was an outrageous nazi war criminal who was hanged in October 1946 after being sentenced to death for his crimes by the Nurembourg War Tribunal. The sword is of some historic value but one should not say "honoured" to possess it, as it represents a possession of an evil man, so evil that he was hanged as a criminal.
I spoke to you many years ago as a kid and you were kind and encouraging in the hobby. 40 years later I still remember your generosity in advice. God bless you sir.
Thanks for the compliments on my collection, everyone! I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my treasures, and hopefully soon I'll be able to show more.

Amazing collection thank you for sharing
I’m trying to get some badges from the SS Panzer division, then I saw this collection and thought “I’m never gonna top that”
I’ve watched this video a few times now and just realized; What’s behind those wooden doors )that we never see) in the double end-glassed cario cabinet? It must be something very special! Could it be your VCR collection of skin videos? Woo-La-La!
Very amazing as always Tom
Incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Jeez Wittmann that’s some collection you have there. You’ve snagged some impressive items
Now that is one seriously immense collection you have there.
Very refreshing! Actually ENJOYING one's collection by putting it on display, rather than securing it away due to concerns about theft.
Good informative review. good collectible items. what is good in our country in Germany, it is difficult to find a good experience when your grandfathers cleaned our penates well.
beautiful collection
Amazing collection! Priceless!
Amazing collection...None finer. Vielen dank
Excellent
Mr. Whittmann is a class act. I've done a bit of business with him. Great guy, great items.
Very Pleasant to look at
Tom thanks for charing you impressive collection!
I expected to see a full Damascus blade with gilt lettering with such a high end solid silver fitted sword. Interesting item.
Fantastic Collection :O Regards from Spain
Great collection, the cream of the crop !
Mr. Tom, can you make a video of Herman Goering stuff ???? It would be very interesting if you explain what each item is.thank you very much.
beautiful collections. my grandfather left some of these; souvenirs of SS soldiers he killed in the war.

I have recently acquired a 1933 poststuchze em 3rd Reich buckle
Ifrom my research I have learned they are quite rare, I have never come apoum an image of one , only the later 35 aluminum postal police versions,
I am trying to sell it, but is proving difficult because nobody can authenticate it .
YOUR dissertation into this relic would be much appreciated.

Hallo hier Amerikaner das gehört nicht euch. Das gehört Deutschland
