You can say what you want, but Boss did a great job with the German uniforms of that time, there is still no country today that has such dashing and impressive uniforms ☝️
I am pretty sure that WWII and especially the German relics are so popular because of rhetoric design, the colours, the symbols and moreover, the fear that it creates. It’s incredible how psychologically this items are just addictive when looking at them
Wow, seriously do you know anything about this subject? Most of these tunics were private purchase which means if you had the money, whether you were an officer or a private you could pay what you wanted. Some officers decided to just get very basic of the peg tunics some didn’t. Some NCOs decided to spend all their money on a well Tailored tunic so they could walk the streets looking smart. You haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about have you?
@@christianblake3997dude would you chill out. My god you sound like a toddler throwing a fit. “Do yOu nOt kNoW wHaT yOuRe tAlKiNg aBoUt” who the hell cares. If you’re going to educate or correct someone in this hobby, try to not sound like a complete jack ass
A treasure of unspeakable value. Both gentleman are knowledgeable and don't worry about the accent, you English is much better than my Russian and Italian.
@ agree, and on top of that it seems too big to have belonged to HH, but this wasn't my only concern…..but it's better that I keep quiet about these people 🤐
These people are the best In the world and I believe these tunics have been pictured and documented down the line,most of the people buying these items are extremely intelligent collectors and expect iron clad documents for these items.
What part of the presentation was excellent? Two men who can barely speak English talking about a subject Neither which are qualified to present? The Little Italian man could easily have doubled as a used car salesman, as all he interested in is his commission. The other lumbering Hulk would look more suited to working in some forest in Siberia making wooden shelters for the homeless! Neither of these men are experts in anything other than talking rubbish.
This auction was an absolute travesty for collectors half of the items in the catalogue were over Valued from the beginning and some of the prices for these items went far above what a dealer would sell them for? All the visor caps were an average size of 54 inches (just about fit my 14-year-old nephews head) One of the smallest actually went for €12,000 because everybody scrambled to try and get a piece of this collection for posterity. Once I had won my bids, I couldn’t care less and just enjoyed watching the whole facade of greed and stupidity play right in front of my eyes, the estate of Delich must be pissing themselves with laughter over the folly of some of these idiots who paid way over the odd prices for some of this stuff? They even had the gall halfway through to start increasing the minimum price on items when they knew they could get more money for them. This was a case of pure greed and nothing else it was absolutely disgusting and I’m just glad it’s all over.
@@christianblake3997 with clowns like jeff, Alex, Whittman and the sharks that came from the baseball card grift, what did you expect. i agree with you 100%
Incredible Himmer tunic. Saw it on WAF. Odd that its dated 38, read the white summer tunics were introduced in the summer of 1939, and basically only ever worn then. Could've been tailored before then, in 1938. SSTV collar tabs with the Sturm or Sturmbann number I believe were just ''NCO'' tabs. Enlisted wore bare skulls, for the early field grey uniforms. On the black uniforms that didn't apply. Embroidered skulls for the field grey uniforms, aluminum for the black uniforms.
Often many collectors will loan out their collections to museums for a fee, or sometimes they will do it for free if the museum pays for the insurance it’s also great kudos for the collector to have his collection displayed. By the way, the summer tunic went for €1,550,000 the bidding went crazy after 1 million personally I think people just lost the plot in this auction. Some of the visor caps went for stupid money (and they were all very small head sizes) I spent including commission just over £30,000 UK at this auction and I managed to buy nearly everything I bid on, but I knew what I wanted, I think some people were just desperate to buy something that was owned by David, which is why the prices just escalated?
The collar tabs on Himmler's tunic is not limited to Himmler! In fact Artur Axman ,the leader of Hitler jugend has the same collar tabs as the Reichsführer, tough Axman didn't wore an SS uniform
18:10 That is a light weight Allgemeine SS training tunic! *extremely* rare. Not VT. Yes, Allgemeine SS was a branch, and not the color of the uniforms. The value of Delich's collection is out of this world.
@@Sean-cz77 It is true that the SS-VT was not completely under control of the OKW(in the field) like its successor, the Waffen-SS was. Yet, it was still never a paramilitary organisation. From the beginning on it was created to fight in a war, and every member who joined the SS-VT was officially a Soldier, absolving their Wehrpflicht. They werent very good Soldiers, as seen in the early campaigns, but soldiers nontheless. And the Totenkopfverbände were also not paramilitary, but officially created for all sorts of police tasks. But as we know, they only were used for one task, guarding the concentration camps. The Allgemeine SS on the other hand of course was paramilitary, they were a civilian organisation of the NSDAP while having uniforms and a military rank structure.
It was an obergruppenfuehrer uniform not a gruppenfuehrer. No pip brigadefuehrer, 1 pip gruppen, 2 pips ober gruppen, 3 pips oberstgruppenfuerer, wreath reichsfuehrer ss.
Absolute fantastic collection, but was the cameraman drinking?? He couldn’t follow the items discussed. Saw the edges of everything or Alex’s stomach in most shots. Thanks for the great content though. Always good.
Ik serieus op zoek, naar een pet van de hitlerjugend, weet iemand, hoe ik er aan kan komen? en wat de gemiddelde prijs is?? Graag info, hartelijk dank.!PS,, interessant het kostuum jasje van, heinrich himmler.
At 18: 20 the seller says something like, "The first SS ...paramilitary... and not exactly the fighter we know... that everybody know". What a grotesque explanation that obfuscates the truth. All this fetishisation of SS artefacts is offensive. Remember the camps? Auschwitz-Birkenau. Belzec. Treblinka. Sobibor. Chelmno. Dachau. [A partial list] Not many "fighters" at those places. Enjoy your genocide memorabilia, but please be honest and more accurate when describing the deeds of the people who wore these garments. [And to head of any defense, positing that the Waffen SS were fighters does not dilute the essence of my argument]
Why would you say that? How many items have you bought from them? Only I think charging customers 29.5% commission is scandalous. I bought several items coming to £30,000 and paid the auction house €7000 for the privilege? I think that’s downright robbery but seeing I doubt you’ve ever bought from an auction house in your life and spend most of your time in your head watching TH-cam videos I’m not surprised?
Aucune armée n'a eux l esthétisme que les uniformes et autres équipements que du 3ème Reich. Aujourd'hui tout cela vaut une fortunes. Bravos les gars pour montré tout ces uniformes .
does anybody have a idea how many item of the Waffen SS General Major and SS Brigadeführer Gustav Krugenberg there still are left till this day? and how much his SA beltbuckle and beltloops would be worth? as i should have those two (three as there are two beltloops) items of the General major from his time in the SA (1932-33) as a Propaganda minister and funkkomissar... why do i think its his? because my great grandfather and his brothers had good connections to Gustav, even after the war, and as my great grandfather was a Waffen SS Sturmmann in the 2nd grenadier regiment of the Prinz Eugen division from 43-44 and his brothers were a Wehrmacht Unteroffizier and a Oberfeldwebel Fahnenjunker (both only fought till ´42 as one lost his leg and the other one died in leningrad...) ,and to my knowlege, he didn´t know other SA members... atleast not personaly (though their father was a member of the NSDAP and ww1 veteran as a pioneer of the 246th regiment with the EK1, but i doubt that he got it from there... if anybody wants to see a picture of it, then idk i guess hit me up and i will send ya a picture of it)
@Femboy_housewife You will never know or make Sure if it was his. But its probably not likely his. It would be good to know his Rank in the SA. But if He was there only for one year, he probably had to give his uniform etc back to the SA
No, most things donated to museums will sit in the back room, never to be seen. Later, whether they're being displayed or not, the museum will fold and the items will be sold off and scattered to the winds, or taken by the curators or other employees...Oh yes...
You find a cuff title from a concentration camp where hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings died slowly of malnutrition or were worked to death, both women and children, interesting? The reason they’re so rare is because anybody associated with working at that hell factory destroyed everything associated with it!!!
Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen das alle Sachen original sind … Anderseits falls alles Original ist ,wie kann es sein das die Amis etc. alles geklaut haben und nicht zurückgeführt wird und zur Ausstellung in Museen ausgestellt wird
I would need some provenance on these items, this is the most replicated stuff in the world…..DNA tests or something…….not to mention the ribbons are all messed up or missing……way overpriced. If it’s the holy grail I would think it would be better protected and not in some flea market.
Alex, I bought from this auction on Wednesday just gone, and spent over £30,000 that includes the 29.5% auction fee and I must say your standard of English when describing these items, (that I’m very passionate about) is extremely irritating! I have no problem with foreign accents, in fact I find them quite endearing. I am bilingual as I am half German and moved to England when I was very young, but you need to learn how to pronounce the English words you say, otherwise it becomes annoying to the point where I want to turn off your videos, which would be a shame. Just some constructive criticism and that’s all?😁
You can say what you want, but Boss did a great job with the German uniforms of that time, there is still no country today that has such dashing and impressive uniforms ☝️
That is one thing that I have always said myself. They were a cut above when it came to presentation. 👍

Very educational for a rare topic. They were hard to find even back in the day for me was 1963 to the eighties much appreciated Alex!
Fascinating subject with the SS, some incredible items you showed with the help of Stefano, Himmler's tunic 450 Euro , thanks Alex for a Great video!
It's interesting how the tunic design between the lower ranks and the higher-ups stays the same, but the quality is where the difference is

Excellent videos always.. Love the channel

Donate the items to a museum for documentation purposes, perhaps in Munich or Berlin.
