- 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 more time out of their day to comment. In a perfect world there would be endless time for either Tom or myself to engage with everyone, but alas the world is far from perfect.
A few helpful tips:
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.
Q: I have a 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.

WE love you Mr. Wittmann dont stop doing what you do keep the vids coming very interesting indeed!!
Again, listening, learning and just fun, my hero in NJ takes the world by storm ;-) I'm not a collector of these items, far from it, but I do appreciate the finesse and knowledge as well as the historic background. So cheers from Europe !
Wow love the collection Great to see Rare items..Thank-you Tom and Team.. God bless
One can only imagine what that General sword must be worth, especially that Goring himself presented it to the generals. How much folks??
Another great video, I would happily pay an admission fee to see your collection and get time with you and your great knowledge. Hint hint… I am not to far away.😇
Great items Tom, Thanks and all the best!
One of your finest! Keep those drinks.. strong!!
Thanks Mr. Wittmann
Trivia regarding your 2nd Reich sword's owner: in German, the naval rank "Kapitan Leutnant" was abbreviated as "Kaleun" in spoken dialogue. "Ja, Herr Kaleun!"
Funny he didnt show the tip of the luftwaffe generals sword on the side of the goring panel. I had that sword in my hands about 3 days before he did. The son of the vet used it to play pirate. The nicks were very apparent and could easy been seen across the room. There was multiple nicks. Most of them were towards the tip. Which wasnt shown. Tom did a hell of a job cleaning up the generals sword and the Austrian sa. They didnt shine like that when I looked at them.
At about 2:23 there was a plain arm band, I believe it is a War Games Umpire band. Great video.
That last sword was beautiful.
I wonder if he’ll put it in his personal collection.
Some awesome openings and entertainment once again Tom, give some of these guys my address so i can get some of them daggers in my mailbox!! just kidding.
Wow. The amazing pieces just keep coming. Thanks Tom and Rob👍🥃🇦🇺
Another great video!
Wow beautiful daggers and the luft generals is amazing. RLB daggers are unreal set. The one fake was obvious to everyone I've seen them for years and year's. Thanks for posting the video I'm sure everyone enjoyed this video
Another great video just wish some of the stuff would end up on the website. Still like to move into your basement. Tho.
Lots of great items! Thank you for sharing
Mr Wittman you are a lucky guy, people send you Christmas presents every day!
Always wanted to know more about the German World War II and his collection of uniforms and Hamlet and daggers and other stuff as well we're also I want to learn more about the Japanese World War II as well
Beautiful sword. Another great show 👍👍
Great video...Happy Independence Day Tom
Us Brits are ok, May the 4th be with you Tom 👍
I have a question about those veteran armbands, how excited did a officer get one, they just retire during the rise of hitler?
Maybe they were ww1 and joined the party?
Very informative the the RLB,s and the luft generals degan great video
A sidenote from Germany. In our language the word would be written Generalsdegen. Degen is the umbrella term for rapier/ smallsword/ fencing epee/ duelling epee.
Those openers are great.
❤These videos👍guys, Thank you! The image left of the rubber chicken is puzzling, please explain.
A good white back Tom made an offhand comment about '... not knowing what is in these boxes ,there could even be a dead chicken for all I know' and around three months later one of his mates played the joke on him by sending the chicken you see on the wall, however there was never a mention of the comment made several months earlier.
@@rogerdee.926 you are correct.Tom seemed surprised when he unboxed it, i did see that, I did not hear his earlier comment. That explains that not the van Gogh 6" left of the chicken. ✌
Did the video get edited and a bit cut out at around 33:00? Tom starts talking about another Rohm straight after showing the 4 RLBs, which suggests we missed seeing a Rohm?
Sure seemed that way to me, most unusual bit of editing on their part.
Mr.wittmann again Sir,what IS your Favorit dagger.. Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany
PS PS what IS your Favorit dagger?????
Surprise Sir.. thank you again.. Gruß Felix From Düsseldorf Germany..PS.what IS your Favorit dagger?
Shooting association cutlass? This is a socalled ,Hirschfänger'. Before 1848, Revolution attemts in nearly every german state, only noblemen, forrest officers or professional hunters could wear such a weapon. In german hunters language there is still a difference between ,Hochwild'( high game), in HRE time only noblemen could hunt, and ,Niederwild' ( low game), which once in HRE also commoners with hunting allownes could hunt. The weapon was intended to give wounded game final stab, or in parforce hunt with dog packs, the dogs caught the annimal, and the hunters killed it with Hirschfänger or boarspear. After 1848 every hunter was allowed to own a Hirschfänger, and the Forrest officials got standardized models. Today german hunters use this ,old style' Hirschfänger only for ceremonies.
