ldubb- You may not care for the black cap of an SS enlisted man, but it is fact. The human skull being used as a symbol is not unique to German culture. Does watching a pirate movie showing a death head upset you? The SS "death head" adorned both Allgemeine and Waffen SS personnel's headgear, and as a collar tab of members of the 3rd SS Panzer Division. What were you expecting to see while looking at German WWII Nazi era memorabilia? A death head is a common item found on old German tombstones. A death head insignia predates the Nazis era. It may have originated as insignia of German Hussars as far back as Frederick The Great.
I've been to this museum several times. It's absolutely one of the best medium sized military museums around and admission to it is free of charge. Donations are of course accepted. What's also interesting about the 45th Infantry Museum is that the building itself was used by the military for years and years before converting it over to a museum. It's definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Oklahoma City.
Funny story about that cloak, obviously it was AH's it was an american veteran that brought it back from germany when the war ended, his wife found it and cut it so it would fit her and she regularly wore it and she only found out 30yrs later it was AH cloak hahhaha, then it was sent to this museum
Think I'd take what you see in this museum, especially ''Hitlers personal stuff'' with a grain of salt. The German's not even correct. Such vague, terrible descriptions of these items
@@Sean-cz77 sorry for not giving more time this display. I was in a hurry and could not properly articulate my findings. Thanks for checking out the video.
I've been in museums all over the world in which there are misspellings of items descriptions. It's not just this museum. How detailed do you expect a museum description to be? Of course it's going to be a brief and to the point.
@@frenchfan3368 More than one sentence which is not barely describing the item correctly would be a good start. Museums have trouble finding funds these days
@Sean-cz77 This is the 45th division museum. These items were veteran bring back items. Veterans donated these items to the museum. I'm sure the items are authentic. Just whomever wrote the description tags didn't go into much detail and used basically generic terms for describing the items. For instance, listing the military badges and arm bands as Nazi items is technically incorrect. They were military items where as other items on display were actually nazi party items. A historian will know the difference, but the average visitor to the museum will not know.
the cap at 4:44 is sickkkk
They all wore them (Deaths Head) reason number 5 he had to be dealt with.

@@frenchfan3368 this is a great building. Sadly the museum is moving to a new location this year. Thanks for watching
@@brokelahoma1611 Will the new location still be in Oklahoma City? In which month will the museum move?
@@frenchfan3368 yes. They are building a new facility. I don't if it will still be free.
@brokelahoma1611 Do you know if the new building will remain in Oklahoma City?
