  • Not really, but I suspect Tom would go for that if it was suggested to him at post time. Maybe send him your resumé, that might be good for laugh.
    In any case his abject misery over losing Johnny the Boy as his loyal box opening assistant is only (temporarily) assuaged by the excellent militaria extracted of this weeks pile of boxes.
    BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
    I'd like to thank each and every one of you who take the time to watch DtC, and am very grateful to everyone who takes even more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world Tom or Ob would be able to engage with everyone in the comment section, but alas the world is far from perfect. Tom doesn't know how (and refuses to learn) and Ob is something of a Luddite.
    FAQ & A:
    Q: I have a burning question about something in the video! What should I do?!
    A: An email sent directly to Tom is the best way to get your question answered, because while he most definitely reads each and every one of your comments, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of replying to them in the comment section, and is not likely to in the foreseeable future. Or ever. Seriously, he still calls RUclips "the U-TOOBZ".
    Tom's personal email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com
    You can also call him if you prefer (856-866-8733) between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, EST. This may be slightly more difficult because he's forever running around away from his desk, but it's worth a shot.
    Q: I have an amusing anecdote, scathing criticism, or heartfelt compliment that I deeply need to express and I require / demand / long for a personalized response! What should I do?
    A: See "A" above.
    Again, Tom's email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com

    I think I would get the white Luft vetted, guys. Insignia wouldn't be metal unless he was a flight officer aspirant. In any case, it looks way too new. Inside of the visor is suspect.

    Esslingen is the town right by where I am stationed at here in the Stuttgart area. The town has a wonderful mid-evil Christmas market. Famous town on the Neckar River. I might have to buy that dagger. I learn so much from you Tom.

      An uncle of me worked from 1970s to 2001 for Friedrich Dick company, famous for both files and butchers/ kitchen knifes. When he was alive, passed away last year, he told me , that one day he and a coworker had to remove old stuff from a rarely used room. They found an old box, filled with raw/ unfinished blades, my uncle had no weapons knowledge, so he was notsure If dagger or bayonnet. Today the company is producing no more their famous files, only butchers/ kitchen stuff .Only a knife called Stechmesser still looks like a dagger. Nowadays factory building is in Deizisau. The old buildings in Esslingen still exist, being used for other purpuses. The large chimney with ,Dick' is fun for english speakers.

    Tom. I don't think those collar tabs on that tunic are correct. They should have the same color in them as on the shoulder boards. These are white like collar tabs for infantry. Has anyone else noticed this?

    • @brittakriep2938
      @brittakriep2938 3 месяца назад

      Stamme aus der Gegend von Kirchheim/ Teck. Dort hat der Segelfliegersport auch große Tradition, die Firma Schrempp - Hirth stellt noch heute Flugzeuge her, und der Name des Segelflugpioniers Wolf Hirth ist bekannt. Neben der Burg Teck war bis ca. 1960 eine Segelflughalle mit Startrampe. Es wurde sogar ein Flugzeuglift gebaut, dessen Rede am Teckberg noch sichtbar sind.

    Something about the Oberst's Waffenrock insignia was off, firsly, his Litzen collar insignia did not correspond to shoulderboard Waffenfarbe, and the Waffenfarbe under the the Oberst insignia is a little bit crudely cut and is not proportional to the rank insignia

    I bought an original set of SA guards with a pommel nut that the seller said was all from an original complete dagger. The guards check out but the nut does not. It probably goes to another type of German dagger or sword ? Could you help me identify what it goes to if I send you some pics?
