    Great video with Eric Dorr, JD! 👍🏻🔟 Forrest Guth seems to be the most important factor who brings us together all the time. What a tribute to him and what a great find from the Dead Man's Corner Museum! The signed parachute is a perfect addition for the magnificent Gettysburg Museum of History and the spectacular Easy Company collection! 🤩🎖🏅🥇

    • @TheHistoryUnderground
      @TheHistoryUnderground  Год назад +3

      Yes. Guth really did us all a great service with all of the things that he collected and brought back after the war.

    Thanks JD for sharing your experience with us. Truly a remarkable show, and the the items that you and Eric got are amazing! Love what you do and appreciate it all very much!! (My Dad was Military Policeman right after the war, stationed in Stuttgart. He had many wonderful stories all the time!)

    The aging of the item's you bought to me show's the authenticity of the Item's , my father in law was a medic in the south pacific and his medics bag and 2 Japanese Rifles he sent home on a gun rack he made , the medic's bag had turned dark brown from the moisture he told of the jungle. I am putting this show on my Bucket list.

    Sold bill Shea a 1938-1940 1st SS great coat a few years back. 6 oclock at night and he gave me a personalized tour of what he had at the time. Unbelievable collection and Unbelievablly kind and knowledgable man. He had Dick Winters 42 jump jacket he jumped into Normandy with at the time and my jaw dropped. Man I love this community

    Thanks for "taking us along" who don't have the opportunity to actually go. I think the technical name for the Guth 'chute is "drogue"... at least that's the term for braking chutes on aircraft when landing

  • @Ronaldl2350
    @Ronaldl2350 Год назад +6

    Wow. That's pretty amazing the stuff they have there. It reminds me of my uncle who was a Navy Seabee on Okinawa in WW2. His family gave me complete sets of his Navy uniforms a few years ago. He told me some amazing stories Getting Patton's boots is pretty amazing! Thanks for sharing JD.

    You guys have made me realize that I need to spend an entire year visiting these museums and shows that you frequently feature. Erik has a passing resemblance to Johnny Depp (Erik is better looking). And Patton's boots remind me of Beatle boots. Great video.

    • @flouisbailey

      Don’t tell Patton! He would likely give you the spur treatment.

    Thanks JD for giving us a small glimpse into the world of military collector shows. I see there's a MAX show in September at the York Expo Center. I will have to try and get to that show. On another note, I visited the Gettysburg Museum of History today and that was pretty darn neat. Thanks for the heads up on that place JD. Eric has one cool museum.

    Very nice video of the 2023 SOS! It was especially cool to see the gold train eagle that I purchased from the museum!! Its interesting as I asked several people to find a train eagle for me at the show but it looks like Eric cornered the market! At least I know that the sale will contribute to future purchases for the museum! Thanks JD and Eric.

    True story.
    I found a very unique bowl made of iron in an antique shop. Paid 8 dollars for it.
    Turns out, that it was a battle helmet from Red China circa WWI.
    My brother now has it.

    As I'm watching this, I'm missing my late brother. He was into collecting artifacts and we did a lot of gun shows over the years. He would have loved this show, we would probably hit the place at open and close it down and it would be a big history lesson. My husband would also love it, we were watching it and he got really excited that Eric got Patton's boots, he's a huge fan of the old General. Thanks for the video and great goodies bought.

    You do an outstanding, aboveboard job of showing respect to Allies and Axis alike; much appreciated; My father and two of his brothers fought for the American side, and two brothers fought for Germany. While my mother's father and brothers fought for Fascist Italy. After all, all men deserve admiration and respect when they honor and defend their heartfelt beliefs.

My Dad was at Pearl harbor when it got attacked. He lost alot of mates. He didn't talk much about it. He definitely got PTSD from his years in the Navy.

    Wow J.D, the items that Erik has bought are crazy, even finding them on the open market today is a surprise. Fantastic items including the large eagle and the little hat that goes right back to the early rise of Hitler must be like diamonds in history circles?
    Never see you as quiet when around Erik when he starts talking. He is just mesmerising when talking about the stories and history of these items, he just silences you also J.D I’ve noticed more and more of the videos you both do together. 😂

  • @duaneb193
    @duaneb193 Год назад +1

    Seeing all of the items at the collector show, plus all the stuff that Erik has makes me feel even better about a scrapbook that I just sent to the Museum from the Occupation of Germany period (my dad was drafted and served over there for his term). Hopefully they will add to the knowledge and history!
