WWII Metal Detecting - German Panzer and SS - Discover History on the Eastern Front
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Team WWIIMD visited last seasson the former battlefields of the eastern front, where heavy fighting took place in early 1945. In the search for war relics we discovered some amazing finds that we will share in our newest battlefield research video. We found items like German combat awards, German helmets, Waffen SS items, MG34 / weapon parts etc.
We also found equipment pieces and other interesting things that were left behind in the woods after the war.
Feel free to leave a comment!

I love how the items are put into context with the historical pictures.
I like the "respectfullness" in your videos. When you show the items in their original context it is clear that not everybody wearing a swastika was hardcore fanatical nazis. A lot were just ordinary men, brothers, husbands, fathers and sons.
Agreed! Good comment.
+Namtov
Very good comment indeed! you just said that right. It was a heavy fight for everyone those day's, soldiers and civilians, Allies and German.
WWIIMD
Well I'm into the WWII stuff and history and even if I would totally agree with you for the wehrmacht, I would be alittle more measured about SS troops... ( I don't say that you say the reverse, but the video is about SS stuff as well :) )
By the way, I love that channel.
The majority was just 18 or 19 years old boys who probably didn't understand anything about politics.
" When you show the items in their original context it is clear that not everybody wearing a swastika was hardcore fanatical nazis. A lot were just ordinary men, brothers, husbands, fathers and sons." who killed others men, brothers, husbands, fathers and sons who defended their families, wives, country from those "not everybody wearing a swastika was hardcore fanatical nazis. A lot were just ordinary men, brothers, husbands, fathers and sons." Come on, what a difference they did bad things.
I could watch these all day, just fascinating!
+UK Bus Dash Cam
Haha thanks!
WWIIMD
+WWII MetalDetecting Agree with UK Bus Dash Cam...good stuff.
Me too ya salame.
On the one hand, I find watching such documentaries thrilling, but on the other, it makes me depressed: my two grandfathers and my father were World War II officers, but despite their apparent external intactness, they returned with massive psychological damage (war traumas) which had a lasting negative impact on their entire later life.
Same with my grandpas. Besides that they were spat on when the returned home. Their traumas were also passed to my parents (be abseifend behavior) and they still impact even me. War cripples even the survivors mentally and generations to come. Never again.
Cool !!! Love everything about WW2 stuffs.
Soldiers were so dedicate towards their own respective countries.
The saddest of any war is death.
!!! Many innocent lives are lost !!!
Each and every person on this earth has a right to live.
Thank you again for your efforts uncovering these war relics. With the pictures of the young men, it shows clearly their innocence. Today they would be going to a soccer game not off to the war front. Thank you.
Great video ..much respect to you guys ..more respect to the fallen men that fought for something they believed in and a cause bigger than thierselves
One doesn’t have to understand German or Russian. The Honor and Respect are in your voices. I salute you gentlemen.
There must be thousands of items buried underground from WWII. So so sad. To think these young men died there and were just left. Forgotten. Awful to think what these Germans went through. May their souls RIP. Salute and Respect. Great job guys. Thanks for the videos. Facinating
Ich schätze eure Arbeit sehr ,ihr geht wirklich sehr vorsichtig und respektvoll mit diesem Thema um.Jeder Gegenstand wird von euch zugeordnet und mit original Aufnahmen belegt.Wir deutschen sind nicht stolz auf unsere Vergangenheit,aber dennoch ist sie ein Teil von uns.Es sind Väter/Mütter sowie Söhne/Töchter gestorben.Wir alle müssen dafür Sorgen, dass dieser Teil sich nicht wiederholt und unsere Kinder über dieses Thema informieren.Ihr tragt einen großen Teil dazu bei.Macht weiter so.
Too bad that no new videos are made anymore. I think this was the best WW2 metal detecting channel on RUclips.
dont understand a darn word, but minimum music, nature sounds and pics for context gives you a subscriber. great job on videos guys!
jason shacklesford ruclips.net/channel/UCIhrrXsnRiQB4tMzimIkDZQ
Awesome video, creepy pic on the end, in Normandy I made a picture like that from a gravestone which said: ZWEI DEUTSCHE SOLDATEN.
Great Work, Respectful as well...Relics are the best Mediums to teach about these events...Good luck out there.
Excellent find and VERY nice video work showing an example of most of the stuff you find. It really helps to paint a picture for us non-history experts.
+KTCobra
That's exactly why we do it for, sometimes it's pretty difficult to find a matching wartime photograph.
KTCobra ruclips.net/channel/UCIhrrXsnRiQB4tMzimIkDZQ
Awesome video! Loved all of the editing! You guys do a great job!
+Depths of History
Thanks DoH!!
Typisch, tof, gaaf man , knap, vet, mazzelaar, mega, cool, grappig, stoer etc. etc.
I watched all your videos. Very fascinating! I hope you make more.
+Nichole L
Good to hear. More video's will follow when we go out there.
waarblijven ze haha
Mooi om te zien hoe sommige items nog zo puntgaaf eruit zien. Het meeste wat ik vind is helemaal weggeroest.
Leuke en leerzame video !
Those badges are in amazing condition!
BRILLIANT VIDEO GUYS - loved it. The authentic footage really connects us to the relics.
+get in
Wow thanks! Cool to hear you like the old footage!
Greets, WWIIMD
+WWII MetalDetecting Yeah, and I'm not a guy which probably makes it even more odd. You really know how to put together a great video showing the history behind the relics you unearth. What more can I say, you're the BEST!
+get in
All I can say is thank you for the kind words.
We see you in the next video!
Please report the location of the dog tags to an organization or the Red Cross - many families still do not know exactly where their relatives have gone.
My two grandfathers also stayed "somewhere" on the Eastern Front. Nobody knows where. You can help.
we can never Forget those who fought for their homeland
Nazi or ally
+Sebastian Cardona prefer Germans/Axis or Ally
+Sebastian Cardona Not all germans were nazi's my friend. My grandfather was a panzer tank commander he wasn't a member of the nazi party just a man answering the call of his fatherland
+Kian Pilu Well said!, My uncle was a member of the Waffen SS and fought on the eastern front at the Seelow heights, he was only 17 and also not a Nazi just a German protecting his country
+Kian Pilu thats not what i meant we can not forget the even if they were axis
Your videos with the old clips and melancholic music within are brilliant. You get a very small touch of what happened in this horrible and pointless war.
The wind whispering thru the grass,bird song,the forest noises and wonderfull artifacts......the perfect combination !!!!! THANK YOU !!!!
You guys are incredible. Awesome montages, very knowledgeable, just a joy to watch!
Thanks for your and all team's please again films... Thanks
amazing how much this stuff is still buried out there
Well, I have watched many of your videos and all are very well thought out. Brillant finds... keep up the good work of bringing history to the light. Regards, Anna
I have a general question: isn't this digging pretty dangerous? What if you hit some mine, or old shells etc?
+Mark Kislich
They will have died doing what they love.
wat goed dat jullie vooronderzoek zoveel moois oplevert en dat jullie hier met respect mee omgaan. Binnen Nederland is het dan toch veel kleinschaliger.
Your channel and videos are the most addictive on youtube. Highly interesting, educational and enjoyable.
So deep in time, yet so close to the surface, you bring hidden history back to life in every film.......thanks so much.
+amc3
Many thanks, and good to hear!
If helmets could tell their story..
I cant stop thinking the same thing. Did the guy die wearing that helmet or was it just ditched there? it's really sad knowing that we will will never know.
yeah i know i have a old m42 helmet with a pritty big dent in it i would love to know what happened but sadly it doesn't work like that
Then they would have already been 'silenced' by the victor.
@@dronenoobFL the guy defiantly died why would he leave his helmet behind. Sad stuff I hope another world war doesn’t happen again so many people died
@@thatswhatshesaidbro ditching uniforms was a common thing. In combat could have left it to leave in a hurry...many plausible reasons.
Wow what a find. Got some nice items there.
Guys I absolutely love your videos. So fascinating to learn of the history of war. I often wonder about the soldiers who those things belong to, you know? Im currently binge watching all your videos! Great work!
I regularly dig the eastern front battlefields in Germany. These finds here are incredible.
Check my vids if you like ww2 relic hunting
@@DiggerLawyerwhere is the best place to dig near berlin in your opinion
I subbed to you btw you inspired me to go to halbe last year
holy shit you guys are back! I can spend hours for watching thease videos easily :D Thaks alot and keep new material coming!
+Aleksi Karppinen
He Aleksi many thanks for watching again, cool to hear!!
+Aleksi Karppinen ..I do spend hours watching these videos..sure as hell beats the reality bullshit..
Really like your editing on identifying your finds and then referencing them on period wartime photos, to see how the item was actually worn or used. Nice job and keep on digging.
+PDXbikeman Many thanks and cool to read your comment.
Increibles imagines gracias por compartir e instruirnos
I find this so intense to watch. I'm not sure what other emotions I feel but loss, sadness and awe come to mind. The helmet with the shrapnel damage is very moving. Is it eerie there in those woods? Thanks guys for sharing.
+Emma Golding
Thank you for your comment Emma, trips like these are always combined with some sadness and joy when we find the hardware that is connected to the situation of that time. In some woods it's so quiet you hear a pin drop.
+WWII MetalDetecting incredible. Please do keep up the awesome footage. Thanks for sharing. GL & HH
Bravo !! Vidéo agréable à regarder....
Montage avec séquences d epoques . Et music bien callé.... Et vraiment bien choisi..
Du travail propre.. Et documenté...
Bonne continuation...
It gets me is what's with the fascination in german rust....oh to be so proud of their past it was so honorable..........nice music thow it's so touching.
Very respectfully done and interesting to watch. I like the interludes with historical photos showing how the items were used. Nice video.
I am very glad that young Europeans are so interested in WWII hystory! Good memory is the best against new war.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
+Владимир Сыропятов Thank you, good to hear.

Absolutely fascinating.
+magicbus144 Thank you!
I just recently came across your channel but your video's are awsome! Can u show us a few clips of ur collection? Greetings from apeldoorn ;)
Wat een geweldige vondsten, en wat weten jullie die sfeer goed te vangen in jullie videos...super
Hi. Thank you for posting this great video and the historical photos/films so we could see what each item looked like at the time of the war.
The stuff you found might be the relics of the 9. Armee! The 9. Armee and 12. Armee were the last fighting Units of the Wehrmacht, the 12. Armee fought against the Americans in the West of Berlin and the 9. In the East of Berlin, the 9. tried to retreat to the 12. They were afraid of the Sovjets
superbes trouvailles ! et vidéo super agréable a regarder !
looks amazing, would love to go out and watch you guys
Nu
Thanks for preserving history.
+stevetam534 Thank you for watching.
i cried @ 2:53 my Grandpa was a tank driver in the ostfront he had one of that and an iron cross
Digging up the past that Germany wants to hide. excellent job. Germany today should show these things more to new generations. To really know how and why it happened.
There must me "millions" of artifacts there. Looks like a lot of fun.
I really like your videos b/c you text the item & show the original applications of each item with a period photo.
+Bill Simpson
Thank you for the compliment Bill!
Did you guys have to leave all that you found behind or somehow get to keep any of it?
This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips! What I would give to go on a dig with you guys! Keep the video's coming! GL&HH
+sabbathz
Thank you for the kind words!!
You make some quality videos. Showing these items on photos is really cool
+john doe Thanks, good you liked that!
Your videos are put together so well that I can feel emotional for those soldiers and what they went through. I'm not forgetting that bad deeds were inflicted by them though.
+Chuck Patton
Cool to read your comment Chuck, war has two sides.
Bravo , magnifiques trouvailles ! une très belle sortie.
+ligne bleue
Merci pour regarder notre vidéo, in our best france ;)
14:15 that coin is worth about €120 according to the sites I've seen it on.
If you mean the Danish 1 krone coin from 1930 it's worth nothing. But the context makes it interesting.
I enjoyed this video. Nice find on the tank badge in silver. Keep up with the good work!
+RickJZ1973
Good to hear Rick! That badge was our most interesting find.
It took me a while to find this video but I’m glad I did! Teriffic video. Thanks!!
very Nice cant stop watching. awsome content guys keeo up With the good work!
+Jon's WW2 collector channel.
Thank you for your comment Jon!
Great period photos and film to put your finds into context!
hi , thank youso much for showing all of these videos , its good to see how muchyo have put into history
+jason marriott Good to see your comment, thanks for watching!
great to see you guys back! it would be awesome to see a video of your museum or storage of all your findings over the years. thanks again!
+whitewolf8758
Cool to hear! We have thought it over but watching all the video's does show also our relics ;)
WWII MD
+WWII MetalDetecting yeah but do you do more extensive cleaning of all your relics? thats the part that woukd be cool to see in your museum.
@@WWIIMetalDetecting Lijkt mij dat jullie ook botten en schedels vinden, hopelijk doen jullie daar respectvol mee en tippen de organisaties die zich inzetten voor het vinden van alle gesneuvelden.. Als jullie in het noordwesten van Hongarije zoeken, graag bericht want daar is een oom van mij omgekomen… groet en blijf zoeken en video’s delen…
Your videos are the best! The camera work and editing is top notch. I like how you show the old photos along with the specimens you find. Don't change a thing!
+777JRyan
Thanks for the kind words JR! We keep on going this way.
WWIIMD
Surely there would be unexploded grenades? and dangerous stuff, have you found any and do you worry about it?
have you ever found something like a tanks cannon? or bullets from tanks or maybe a tanks it selfe?
Guys .. first, thanks for those videos! Metal detecting is an very interessting and sometimes dangerous hobby. It is often an important process of coming to terms with the past. Some founds are important for institutions like "Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge". With founds like the dog tags, you can solve the search for fallen soldiers, who are missing in action till today. I've seen a few of you're videos in the last hour and they make me very thoughtful. Every item you've found has it own story - every item belongs to somebody or a group. Many, many men killed in action of both sides - we should never forget. Brave men died in this sensless war.
Greetings form Germany.....
"Den Toten zum Gedenken, den Lebenden zur Mahnung."
+MrGedankenverbrecher Good to read your comment, thank you for that. When the situation is doubtfull, we report the information on the dog tag, so far it never concerned a fallen soldier. Walking on those places is something special and realy brings you in touch with those soldiers when you found some hardware after more than 70 years.
Best, WWIIMD
Real interesting finding a bit of history Lads.
Nice work guys, I really like how you refer to how the items were used. What a scary time it must have been, thanks for helping us not to forget.
+johnny gazinta Good to read your comment! Scary times it where..
once again great video very exciting to watch
Nice Finds, especially the PAB
+Phil Nuttall Thank you, the PAB was my favorite too.

I love this kind of Videos, i was in the Area of Köngsberg and there is so much German Stuff in the Forrest, unbelievable.Russians love it to detect for German War Stuff.The Area there looks like 1945, everywhere Ruins of Villages and Battle Traces.

The Germans should never bend over to not serving pork in their schools simply because jerks like you decide to take advantage of their hospitality as immigrants. Fix your own crap countries instead of telling everyone else how to live. You sir are a rude idiot and stink like an Al-Queda troll of the worst kind.
