- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- In the Colorado Springs Military Museum, we have a room for every major war the US was in with from WW1 through Afghanistan. Today, I'm showing you guys the Japanese room in WWII. This give everyone an idea of what we show on a tour.
If you would like to see the museum, it's open every Sunday at 10am for a guided tour. Public tours will last through November before we close it for the winter. The building is 75,000 sq ft and too big to heat up, ha ha.
Any questions give us a call at (719) 683-2200. Hope you enjoyed the video have a great day!

"500 years old" that sword is literally older than the United States is
The USA is really not that old in historical sense. Even México was founded in the early 1500s.
@@angelgjr1999 he’s talking about when we started the US
@DIEGO PEREZ GENIS Fair point.
@Carlos Quezada passed down
@DIEGO PEREZ GENIS correct!
When you said the atomic bomb Nagasaki. I was like no way he got a piece of that.
Bomb was so strong that there is no existing piece of the bomb (vaporised).
Kosovo je Srbija!!! TAKO JE SRBINEEEEEEEE
As cool as all the militaria is I have met so many guys like this at shows when I was a kid. They always treated you like a moron kid who couldnt possibly know anything about militaria.......and would then try and sell you a highly overpriced item with a clearly bullshit backstory. ie. hitlers tooth for $50, a bayonet that has berlin 1945 scratched onto the scabbard for $750 etc

The family what?

Have you seen his nazi room his got the stuff that killed the Jews
Watched German room: Wow, nice advanced technology.
Watched Japanese Room: Wow, there are a lot of methods to kill oneself.
Japanese culture considers suicide as honorable.
@@angelgjr1999 They used to, fortunately they don’t nowadays, but sadly Japan still have a high rate of suicides

Meh the ATF are pretty useless anyways. Most of the guns the ATF collect end up in Mexico cartels.

Rick from pawn stars: best i can do is $5 and am taking a huge risk here.
“This japanese sword was passed on from a samurai family for over 600 years, best i can do is 20$ its going to sit for a long time and im not sure when i can recover that money”
I have to frame that flag..
"Let me get an expert down to verify authenticity...he knows everything about war stuff, and then we can talk price"
Pawn stars or any show like that just go around ripping people off. Stopped watching it.
😂😂😂 I been thinking the same thing them guys be ripping people off man stay away from pawn shops
"Over here in this cage I have a living 104 year old Japanese POW from the island of Tarawa"
Bruh 🤣🤣
*Speaks in Japanese begging to be released* - Japanese POW
"I got 4 of them"
"...see dat"
Japanese man* why am I still here* , dragon man* your here because you are part of my world famous collection* no offense to dragon man, I just thought this was funny. Lol
Everybody is fascinated until the mannequins break out the plastic and start fight each other
💀💀
The next night at the museum is gonna be based on that
i’d still be fascinated.
Just don’t hit the red button
Nazi mannequins this would make a great dr who episode
It’s funny to see people call an American War Vet a nazi... this man is a hero
They call him Nazi?! Why?!
@@totallynotahydraagent9489 Anybody they don't like is a Nazi. Because they are ignorant.
@@kvogel9245 facts,I don't care he and all vets are heros they had to go through the most with so little information and technology my generation(2000 kids which i am 17 now ) don't understand what its like but I'm learning.
Except he was never in a war
@enverhoxhaburgerist Are ya gonna tell me that all Communist countries that are suffering or evil are not practicing true Communism next?
The one's that called him a nazi for showing off his German room most likely don't know about all the other collections he has. This guy just *loves* military history and is just showing off his personal collection
do you know how hard it is to get nazi paraphernalia, equipment, and such? Very hard, and you need to know the 'right guys' to get it. It's quite alarming how much Nazi stuff he has.
@@strongfp alarming or not, it's still a part of history and is fascinating to see just how extensive of a collection of WW2 memorabilia he owns aswell as his knowledge on every one of the pieces
@@strongfp you don't need to know the "right guys" you can buy historic WW2 Nazi items on the internet on even eBay, antique shops, estate sales, etc. It isn't concerning in any way how much Nazi stuff he has because is a collector who is gracious enough to share all of his military antiques from all of these beautiful countries and cultures. This man is obviously not a nazi or anything so I'm not worried. He has the utmost respect for all these cultures.
@@strongfp you don't know how collectors work if you think all his stuff came from neo-nazis. A lot of these are auctions and family items passed down, maybe even treasure taken back from the war
@@strongfp the "right guys" ???? there are no real nazis left.. their family probly isnt selling off their parents military memorabilia

Yep that'S a discount,LOL.
Is that available at Wal-Mart ?

cuz schools wont

I want this guy to be my history teacher.
Same, me and every history but out there.
Does anyone know where this museum is btw?
@@evergreen88307 didn’t he say it like at least 5 times in the video
@@evergreen88307 its in colorado springs. My cousins live in loveland colorado. so im kinda sad last time i been to Colorado i didn't know this place existed until now
sadly he wouldnt last 5 seconds in the modern worlds ridiculous political standards even though there is nobody more qualified to teach history. go figure..
And in this box, I have an original atomic bomb that wasn't dropped on Japan...see that...paid $10,000 for it.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, HE'LL MAKE IT HAPPEN
"I got four of them"
“Outside in this lake we have a fully functional Japanese aircraft carrier”
When u sadly pass I hope that your kids or who ever inherits your collection keeps it going and dosent sell all of these amazing artifacts and don’t split them up
They're probably gonna fucking sell it all just for money i hope not
they'll sell that, it doesn't worth have kids if this happen.
stopped calling the atf on the machineguns so he can put them in his attic lol
They are better with him. The ATF just wants to destroy them whereas he would use them as a tool to educate people on history.
@@1deviousmama333 I mean the machine guns were used to slaughter and kill people, so maybe most of them where dirty
I really enjoy his museum, learning about WW1 and WW2 is what made high school so fun for me.
A lot of the things he be saying is wrong and mispronounced
And its still interesting
Word.
I have an WWII Japanese Semari Sword that my family member brought back from Iwo Jima.. been passed down to me
@Faisal Yousuf Osman too late for that.. no telling who the original owner belong to before my great great great uncle brought it home.. he took it off a dead officer. Lol
@Faisal Yousuf Osman no name on their. Not all the swords that were given to officers had names on the sword. Only officers were given swords..
@@0711boomer umm.. yes all the swords had some type of family name or marking on it..
@Faisal Yousuf 036 dude this isn't The Last Samurai lol these swords were mass produced just like guns were ain't no time for signatures lol
Shout out to my great uncle Jimmy “James” Doolittle ❤️ he died before I could meet him but I respect him so much for what he did
@Athens Greece the Japanese were comparable to the Nazi’s, did you ever learn about what they did to the Chinese and neighboring countries?
Love your stuff dragon man. Always watch from Odessa Texas. Best to you and yours.

A rare item to get regarding Japanese infantry weapons. An Arisaka rifle with the Imperial Seal still engraved.
Fun Fact:- Many soldiers in the Imperial Army after the Japanese surrendered to the U.S., scraped off the Imperial Seal in disgrace because it was considered shameful to surrender to the enemy.
I'd wager you have an Arisaka rifle with the Imperial Seal still intact......
Shadow is gonna kill ya They’re not really rare, it’s just not as common to find an intact chrysanthemum on an Arisaka. Many were defaced by surrendering troops, but most were ground off by the allies under the order of General MacArthur. I have a Type 99 with an fully intact seal all matching numbers.
Maybe hiro onoda the last Japanese imperial soldier to surrender after 30 years still has the seal in his well maintained arisaka rifle
scratched off mums normally go anywhere from 400 to 600 while ones that are intact are anywhere from 800 to 1500. I have a couple, one scratched/ one unscratched
@@PaPaCaKeZZ that price is unreal for something so historic in either condition... never lose, sell or give them away under any circumstances.
i wish it was easier to collect historic firearms in my country without having the barrel welded shut and destroyed.
I'm certain he does because I have one also. Chrysanthemum intact.
To tell a story about the Japanese in WW2, my grandfather was in the Royal Navy (british navy) and was serving as a cook on his boat the HMS Dovey, a river class Frigate, there was one day they were out in the Pacific Ocean where they came across a Japanese boat (unknown model or crew) that was full of slaughtered POWs now this was a common thing but unfortunately what they found was more uncommon and showed the true ruthlessness of the Japanese during WW2 this boat was full of mostly children that had been slaughtered by the Japanese, that's all we know of the story, I imagine this is an image that stuck with my grandfather for the rest of his life and no one should ever go through that, I salute him for his service forever.
Hope whoever reads this takes great interest in the reality of the war and the respect that war veterans deserve.
“Here we got the family pack”
Me: *p a r d o n ?*

What a great guy going out of his way to preserve all these items and seems to genuinely care about teaching history to future generations!

He's a hardcore collector
I actually have a Japanese flag from the war that’s written some stuff on and with blood stains on. It was given to me by a 92 year old neighbor and he made me swear to treat it with respect. Oh and he gave me a German Pamphlet That says the German soldier on it in German.
You should give that flag to the OBon society they find the families of the Japanese soldiers who had those flags, the writing is the name of the soldier and their hometown, it’s like a dog tag.
This guy must have unlimited money 😂 jesus
That's my question
@@Aloshzaxo same here
Makes his bones rebuilding Harley motors he’s a machinist by trade
Money! Unlimited Money!
He made tons of money when he was young, also he most of the items are donated by his fans
This man and his museum should be a national treasure
There was definitely a part of me that thought he was going to turn a corner and show a piece of both atomic bombs. It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if he somehow managed to get his hands on something like that. This guy has everything!
I like this guy. He is a real self made business man with high knowlege of history and a posesses a vast no. of original and hard to get items.
I´ve been to many war museus all over que world, and I can say that this place has one of the most impressive inventories I´ve ever seen. It´s a time machine. Congratulations! Breathtaking.
This is the coolest man EVER!
If this was my history teacher he would go down in the hall of fame
My father fought in the Pacific in WW2. He told me stories about when he was hit by a kamikaze aircraft and shipwrecked on New Guinea. And he told me about hearing Tokyo rose on the radio saying everybody on the ship that he was on was gone! Can't remember the name of the ship!
Great grand father had his head cut off by the Japanese in front of his family. They had hid all the gold in tins and buried them under coconut trees. The Japanese went around poking the ground with their bayonets and found the tins. Then made my great grand father dig his own grave then cut his head off and kicked his body in. His body was still standing when they kicked him in. My grand mothers said it was with a bayonet but I reckon they used a samurai sword. But all this happened nearly 100 years ago, so I don't walk around with stupid hate towards anyone. Also I use the cake tins the Japanese left behind to bake cakes in! Literally I use cake tins from ww2! Great tins!
This guys 's amazing , so passionate about his stuff ...One day hopefully after COVID if we all survive , i'll come to pay him a visit !!
Greetings from France
Gosh, man. You really don’t see private collection museums like this anymore.
I’ve been to a few of the big military museums before and they didn’t all have this much equipment displayed as nicely.
There’s just something wonderful about the commitment to preserving history it takes to build a collection like this by oneself in order for other people to learn.
Thank God for people like you who keep history alive. With all the disinformation and the bastardization of our U.S. history, people like you are more important than ever before.
When he mentioned Hiroshima I thought he was going to say he had the bomb
Me to. 😂
I hope it will be possible to create one day a proper big modern museum with higher funds for everything that he has. I admire his collection a lot. It's very important not to forget the past in order to not repeat prior mistakes.
When you said atomic bomb I thought u was gonna pull one out 🤣🤣
Me too
Thanks RUclips algorithm for bringing this channel to my attention, never seen such a large WW2 collection
This has to be the best private military collection I have ever seen! I went to Dayton Air Force Museum, and thought that was cool, but I bet this supersedes that!
do you see that? yeah that's right, its Admiral Yamamoto himself i bought him at a local weeb store for 1 mil yen
amazing collection...I want to get out there one day to check it out 😎👍
Amazing sir. Ty for preserving and sharing our history.
Thank you for the tour and education.
Watching from Sanford, Maine. Love the work you put into your museum
Love to walk through with just him and I.
Amazing collection 🙌🏼
I still love watching these thank u again for posting
Love this guy, I want to go to his museum so bad
Man he’s awesome.
What a treasure. Ty much!
Learning about history preserving it is so important ,the good and the bad your doing a fantastic job
I feel like he’s saying “evil jima”
As a German, I have to say that you would NEVER see such an extensive collection in Germany. I visited Dachau and didn't see nearly as much Nazi stuff there as in this private museum! I'm not proud of our past, but seeing such a collection in real life would give many people even more understanding of how terrible that time must have been. Likewise, one would certainly end up behind bars for such a collection here for some time, especially for Zyklon B.
amazing collection Sir!
Your collection is so impressive I hope it lives on forever watching on dec 7 2020. What an honour it would be to manage and keep this museum in pristine condition. Love your work
The part where he said "tbh i dont even bother with atf anymore" 😂 he's already got so many ww2 machine atf won't notice if he picks up a couple more here and there and he knows it 😂😂😂

HOLY MOLY THAT IS A LOT OF UNIFORMS!
Love the videos. Im curious as to how you approach fire safety? I just saw how much was made of wood and it makes me scared for some reason. I would never want such an amazing collection to disappear.
Considering he has what appears to be live ammunition on display as well as cyanide and Zyklon B. I would think he has to have regular visits by the fire marshal and the ATF to make sure his fire codes and handling practices are all above standard, so I’d assume he’s got an overkill auto fire suppression system
I really appreciate what you are doing! I just found your channel and so far I enjoyed all 5 videos I’ve seen! Thank you for what you are doing!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing.

This history is so beautiful. I know its November but I already lost seeing this majestic collection.
Amazing collection.
I thought he was going to pull out Kim jung un this guy has everything
His museum is so impressive I half expected him to say "and here we have a live nuclear bomb from 1945."
What a collection wow👍👍
I really appreciate your hard work, collecting great historical pieces from world war II. I am one who wants to come visit your museum. Thank you so much!
I never heard of Japanese cyanide. A lot of info here.

I think my little family needs to make an old fashioned road trip to see this amazing history. Thank you sir for saving the relics of days that shaped our world.
God bless you sir. Amazing collection. Hope to one day make it that way to visit your museum.
Great museum, beside Iwo Jima before Nagasaki& Hiroshima, I hope more Historians mention unit 731, a japanese unit who did more en masse evil experiments than the SS. Amazing we are all still here after so much evil was unleashed in WW2, seems the only way forward is universal treaties& vmuch respect to all those that made& enforce those Treaties.
Worry abt your own war crimes and let others worry abt theirs trying to cope just to make yourself feel better 😂😂😂
@@dayday6829 what are you on about?, you don't know me. Iam part ukrainian,polish& Russian& Putin+ Xi Jinping whom you likely are threatening WW3. Like most in the west I was against the invasion of Iraq which I was arrested protesting it as it was not UN sanctioned, but UN should have sanctioned it really as Saddam massacred 100,000s directly like marsh arabs,kurds& shia +his son Uday raped& murdered young girls.Afghanistan was sanctioned enough, even Russia gave its blessing after 911& civilians were not directly targetted in either except by small rogue units whereas with Putins forces its policy like CCP China with Uighirs,tibetans or falun gong who they kill quietly in camps& sell their body parts, Mao actually colluded with Imperial Japan to destroy ROC China now ROC Taiwan. Send me a postcard of you enjoying life in country under their authority without any free world culture like North Korea.
