  • What day is it? What month? Wait, it's not 2008?! What episode are we on? Why are these boxes so heavy? Oh well, none of these petty details matter in the timeless realm beneath the floorboards.
    There has been some terrible fake crap washing up down the cellar of late, so hopefully we'll be able to do a video featuring these awful things soon.
    BOILERPLA... ER, GENERAL INFO:
    Tom, Deb, and Ob would like to thank everyone who have been kind enough to send in gifts. Seriously, you guys are just the best.
    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 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.
    Again, Tom's email is: herrwittmann@gmail.com

    wow what a great show of great stuff. nice daggers badges etc. the 1901 naval dagger is a killer, then the boots wow. dated 6 44 on the bottom. must have been a high ranking killer for sure. boot dont come any nicer nor more senister either. thanks for sharing. great video. Larry

    That Olympic pin from the riker case grouping is a common "coffin" pin fake. Some of the other items in there I'd take a very close look at the pilot badge and SS service award. There are very good reproductions out there and it's not hard to artificially age and weather something.

    Hello Team Wittmann! Out of the gate, I would just like to wish Mr. Wittmann the elder good luck with the cardiologist so he can get his eyes fixed. I really look forward to new videos from you guys and always enjoy the unboxings and the banter.

    Those SS boots look like horse riding SS boots - not standard officer boots - so a nice set with those oak boot trees

    That badge at 35:38 is a WWI Austria-Hungary Field Pilots Badge - FJ1 - Emperor Franz Joseph. It's rare and I've seen this badge for $1,000 - $1,200 range. There is also some conflicting information out there. Some say this was actually made in the 1930's and presented to veterans.

    Ob. That Oscar Meyer joke went right over the old mans head.

    I have a Nahkampfspange in gold with documentation and picture of the handover by Hitler. Unfortunately, the brace is not in good condition, because it was stored for decades in a metal box. The staff corporal Kurt Rätzel was awarded this medal on 13.12.1943. Super interesting article !!!

    When my wife had eye surgery they gave her a pill to relax her and uses cocaine drops to numb her eye up. They must be afraid your heart rate might get to high with a murmur.
    Speaking of eyes, I could see dollar signs in yours on those 1st 3 daggers….very nice indeed!

      You heard correctly. Apparently Australia is very much against anyone collecting German WW II items. I haven't heard any updates so I assume no one was punished.
