What Did American Soldiers LOOT From the House of HEINRICH HIMMLER??? | American Artifact Episode 25

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- One of the most evil men of the 20th century has to be Heinrich Himmler, who was the head of the SS during WWII. As one of the main architects of the "Final Solution", Himmler made it his life's work to see the Holocaust carried out. As the war was coming to a close, some U.S. soldiers made it into Himmler's house and got away with some of his stuff. Some of that stuff is now on display at The Gettysburg Museum of History.

Yet another American narrator forgetting that the rest of the war fighting nations had anything to do with Ww2. I think you’ll find it more considerate to change “when the Americans were closing in on Germany” to “when the Allies were closing in on Germany”. It may help to educate the rest of America that other nations were actually involved! I hear narrations like yours far too often.
@@MrTubbymarshall - This was a video specifically about Americans bringing back items after the war. Feel free to browse through my channel (especially the Normandy series) and I think you’ll find that your comment is rather unfounded.

I kind of understand what you're doing, in my opinion this stuff should have been burned to ash like Hitler.
Other comments here raise points that are perhaps of interest. I for one have subscribed. My only gripe with you is how you mangle the pronunciation of so many words (though not necessarily in this video), when perfect approximations can be made with the sounds available in English. Having said that, after having heard you say 'I mispronounced that correctly' in several videos (leading me to believe the phrase is intentional), I now just smile, when you do, mispronounce. Which you do. A lot. All the same, thanks for the content: always entertaining and often interesting. Take care!
My father spoke several.languages that included German. As a result he was in the CIC. An officer surrendered to him and as a jesture of the surrender, handed over his pistol. He brought it home. I had a gunsmith restore and appraise it.
Wow! That is amazing.
Don't accidentally shoot yourself with it please.
That’s amazing. Please don’t ever sell it.
Good job!
Wow
Your videos means a lot to me because there's no way I could ever visit historical places that you kindly show. Amazing great job
Agreed, same here
Agreed!
The nickname "Heini" was not just something Himmler had as a boy. It followed him as head of the SS. He was often referred to as "Reichsheini."
😅
Haha 😆
"Reichsloh"
I watch the captions and they had Heini as Hyena. Also very fitting.
Heini is a common abbreviation for Heinrich, like Bill for William or Dick for Richard. It may be sued as well beyond teen age.
“Let the worm go to the worms”… very fitting. Great video as always 👍🏻🙂
Thanks! 👍
Karma
I've never heard that.
Should be a famous quote.
Can I just say, as a Scotsman. I honestly find your vids entertaining, informative and top drawer stuff. Love it! 👍🏼
I agree, this is the first channel I go to on RUclips-
Many thanks! Can't wait to get over to your country someday.
@@TheHistoryUnderground The way you guys produce your stuff, I have no doubt you'd be able to teach even me a thing or two about Bonnie Scotland. And would be our absolute pleasure to welcome you over here. 👍🏼
I really like the host. Why? He is doing this from the heart and out of honor to the dead and the stories that need to not only be told but never forgotten. This is the type of man you want presenting these stories and preserving history. I hope he can visit this National Holocaust Museum and do a segment on that place as well. I would urge ALL of you to support this man via his patreon. There are only a handful of men / women and organizations doing this type of very critical work and it takes resources for these stories to get produced. Believe it it or not, these stories are a foundation on which we can rebuild upon moving forward. It educates us, it shapes us and we are stronger and better for it.
@@all.day.day-dreamer I support JD on a Patreon, for all the reasons you just said
I've got no doubt that I could just sit there for hours and hours and listen to Erik as he goes over and talks about each and every item that he has in the museum. I doubt that he would enjoy it very much though, lol.
My father landed on Juno Beach D-day. He brought back a 9mm Luger numerous badges he cut from dead German's. Two SS death head silver rings. A huge Nazi flag. Solid gold SS cigarette pack and lots of other stuff. I have the gold cigarette pack and the Luger and rings in a safe
Wow!
Men like your father are part of the Greatest Generation! Men like him saved us!
@@philipnestor5034 Saved us from what?
@@royroach5328 You have the Internet. Look it up on your own. Lazy non-thinker wants everyone else to do his homework for him.
@@philipnestor5034 thank you
My Grandfather was a Merchant Marine and was bringing back a sack filled with daggers and Lugers he had acquired…..He sold them on the ship on the way home…..He always regretted that
Omg...!!!!..he could have made a fortune..still .I say he had some stories to tell ....
As a former US Army Soldier, I was notorious when stationed over seas in Europe for getting drunk and deciding I wanted something out of a pub, bar, club or restaurant we'd be visiting one evening- I ended up with a Bittburger Bier chalk board (4ft tall x 3ft wide x 2in thick wood) out of the famous O'Reilly Pub in downtown Frankfurt (right across the street from Frankfurt Am Main Hauptbhanhauf (train station), a Guinness sign off the wall from An Sabin Irish pub in Darmstadt, a glass Newcastle Beer pitcher and 6 matching pint glasses from an Australian Restaurant, 5 heavy pewter Marlboro Ashtrays (each cost about 40 euro at the time) from a latino club... my point is- if soldiers want something bad enough and decide its worth it, they will get/take it- most of the time alcohol being involved.
Hey, I had a pretty good collection of ash trays and beer mugs for this same reason lol
@@emptybeerkann lol- my point exactly.
So in other words he was a thief.
US military are always good to have a beer with, we usually drink schooners or middies, but pints are not uncommon. I believe our pints are based on Imperial measurements and are 478ml. A schooner is 425ml. When I was in the ADF and got stationed in the Northern Territory, we hit the piss with some US Navy personnel and they ended up being called back to duty, that would have been a funny sight trying to watch them stand to attention while pissed 😂
On my bucket list…visit the Gettysburg Museum of History. Love the artifacts and the stories behind them. Once again great video!
you really should. I am fortunate enough to live about 90 mins away. I am in my early 40's and haven't spent time in that area since a High School field trip...shame on me. Make sure you also get on a Battlefield tour if you haven't done so already. There is a mysterious aura to that place that can certainly be eerie and emotional at times, but it needs to be experienced by every American.
You will enjoy it greatly. I visit Gettysburg often as I live not distant.
Erik is a legend. Love listening to him.
👍🏻
There were so many narcissistic, psychopaths in the Nazi ranks your video would have been a series that would have taken a great deal of time to complete. As you stated previously, you just can't wrap your mind around what these men and women were capable of. Agreed his death was much to kind.
Agreed. A person could have a whole channel just on these sadists and authoritarians.
Not really much concerned about his death, easy or hard. Death is no more than the policeman who takes the criminal into the courtroom before the judge. And as Jesus said, "... do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." And as it is written: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!
Why can't you wrap your head around it? There are plenty of people in positions of power who are right now doing similar things that the Nazis did but just on a somewhat smaller scale.
You can't wrap your mind how they didn't want germany to end up like it is today?
Deep in politics US UK didn't really know who do they wat to support Hitler or Stalin. Only when they saw USSR was winning they decided to help in 1944.
And it was done for $$$ and gold. Russians stopped paying US in 2007?
Even after WW2 Churchill had a plan to attack Russia.
Now look at Biden who started a proxi war with Russians using Ukrainians. Shameful merica!
Who need enemies if you have friends like this?!
Thank you as a native German, I respect ur world. It’s amazing and well planned and produced magnificently. Thank you
Thank you. Much appreciated.
As a German how do you feel about the Americans looting German P.O.W.
Or just citizens?
Great episode! I love how you say it’s a bit “uncomfortable “….I should hope such evil is never comfortable in my life!
Agreed.
The more I watch you and Erik, the more I gotta see the museum… great video.
It's quite the place. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Me too! I would like to purchase a few things also! Wow the stuff that is there!!!! Only problem I don’t think my wife will get into it
@@Jim-op3kg Amen to that… my wife wouldn’t either…lol.
I had a chance to visit it last year (I'm from iowa) It is nothing short of phenomenal!!!
@@Bam_Like_Dat very good thank you. Traveling to Iowa this September… beautiful state.
This foul, evil creatures name will forever be associated with atrocities committed by the Nazis. Having items taken from this creatures home is a reminder that evil lurks and that evil can manifest itself in ways that can change the course of human destiny.
Agreed. These things remind us that evil exists.
🤣😂
Some artefacts, however macabre are purely intriguing from and historical view point, i had the dubious honour of looking though the glasses that Himler was wearing when he died!!! They are kept in a private collection at Longleat safari park of all places, along with part of Hitlers marble table from his bunker and chair carved with swastikas
The 4th Earl of Bath was a collector of many things! Including a partially smoke cigar that belonged to Winston Churchill
Interesting and intriguing but never sensationalised or admired
Holy smokes!
@@TheHistoryUnderground zinger!
Yeah, ok.....
Field Station Bad Aibling, Bavaria West Germany, 1969. I am sitting at a beautiful oak desk in a hanger at an old Luftwaffe Air Base that had been taken over by the US after the war. I drop my pen. I bend down to get it and see a Wehrmacht Eagle ink stencil on the inner side of the desk. The "appropriation" of war materials was widespread and in this case probably sanctioned. I loved that desk.
Wow!
my dad lived in an old ss barracks the first time he was stationed there. he said there were still several ss symbols all over the building.
@@emptybeerkann 😦
Fascinating presentation. The focus on what US soldiers were able to get home is very interesting. An uncle of mine demonstrated that mindset bringing back things he “collected” from Ardennes area combat remnants.
Tip my hat again to JD, and Eric, for the presentation and especially JD eloquently explaining how some may feel about showcasing such historical items from an evil person as Himmler.
you also have to include Mengele as a candidate for most evil
Definitely not a nice guy.
As the school year winds down, I don’t have much left to do. So, I will do what we were all thinking, let’s watch this fantastic video.
Ha! Hope that the students enjoy it and learn a thing or two.
“Let the worm go to the worms”. Very apropos.
Another very interesting episode. Thanks.
Hello from down under. Amazing episode. Some enterprising GI'S in what they took. Who would think to grab a chair? I feel that his end resting place befits an evil man. No truer words spoken over his grave.
I do admire the man who spoke those final words over him.
WOW!! Incredibly interesting. I wasn't expect that chair to be metal!! It is beautiful despite its history. Thanks for sharing another well done and Incredibly fascinating videos. 👏
Glad that you found it interesting!
when i thnk of pure evil I think of this guy before anyone else. Thats saying a lot
Interesting as always. War trophies were just that, trophies. Whatever they symbolized before they were taken doesn't reflect on the soldiers who took them. Collections like this keep the memory alive of the evil that once walked the earth.
Completely agree. Wish that everybody thought like that. If you'll notice, I made sure to repeat that Himmler was evil about 500 times just to make sure people knew where we stood.
Agreed. Think of all the guntos taken from Japanese troops. Some were used for HORRIFIC war crimes.
My grandpa started out a a gunner on D-day on a Haft track. By the end he was driving officers around to surrending German officers because of all that he brought back a lot of collectibles. Like an artillerymans Luger. A bunch of Hitler youth stuff like the whole mauser set up from pistol to K98. Even a White beater with a swastika on it. W still have a lot of it. But he got rid of a lot of it through the years. Like this M1 and his 1911 but just the whole story is cool.
I have Himler's head in a jar that my dad brought home. It scared me as a kid!
I personally would not want any negative energy attached to those items in my home. I’m not judging though, I’ve never been in war and can understand why they would feel justified taking something.
That’s why they’re war trophies for a reason
there souvenirs of war
Looting like in Iraq or Libya... simply merican thefts...
Stop being a wuss. Reality is not pretty and war is ugly. Much respect to our fallen heroes of all our wars 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating stuff. Just the fact that there is so much stuff left after Hitler and his henchmen. A reminder of how times change. What is the truth and the correct way of living or politics do change over time. Democracy has to be protected to all costs all the time, before it is too late. As shown in the current state of affairs in Europe. Times change fast...
Pretty fascinating to see these objects. Certainly some evil men.
I bought a German photo lot from an Estate sale that came with an original uncirculated photo of Himmler at an Airfield with Ace Adolf Galland and an unnamed pilot. It was a fantastic find in a box containing hundreds of War Photos.
Wow!
What strikes you when you look at Himmler, is just how unremarkable he was, a former chicken farmer in uniform.
I remember watching an interview with Orson Welles, who said the same about Hitler, who he encountered at a dinner in the 1930s. 👍
From 2008 until 2019 I came to Gettysburg for the annual Greyhound event in April and never once made it into Mr. Dorr’s museum. What a mistake. I am now out in Nevada. I am a huge history fan. Hopefully I can come back and visit someday. I love your videos!
My grandfather was in WWII in Europe. He told me most soldiers had "loot bags".
"May the worm return to the worms." Well said.
Who knows if you read these things or not, but I really like the Music that you guys use when producing these videos...
Thanks! I appreciate that.
I think I just figured out where the amber room went to
It does make you wonder if the amber on the book came from that.
Ha! I need to ask Erik if I can take a look in his storage closet.
@@TheHistoryUnderground it would be tragic but the idea of parting the place out into gifts like that seems not outside the realm of possibility
The postcard from 1917 is signed "Dein Vati", which means "Your dad". It is addressed to the family´s apartment in Munich, Amalienstrasse.
Good morning my friend. Always a good day when i get a new video of yours to view 🙂
Good morning! Appreciate that.
This channel is outstanding. What a fascinating episode.
🙏🏼
My Dad was at Dachau when liberated US 45th Inf Division That stuff is sickk
Oh wow. I can only imagine the stories that he must have had.
Family friend and WWII vet must have been in that same unit. He gave me a huge Nazi flag that he claimed came from the railroad station at Dachau.
No leaves today lol great work guys loved Eric's comment about the wife would just love the chair... thank you for including us on this little piece of history
Ha! Thanks.
Would love to have you collab with Dr Mark Felton. His WWII videos are excellent.
you have a great gift for making these video.mad respect,and safe travels good sir.
Thank you kindly
Good morning history underground
Good morning.
Great Video, educational, and before anyone complains, I just want to say I loved the harmonica playing! Great Music Choice ;-)
Ha! Thanks. Appreciate that.
It seems to me that he kept the decent stuff at Margaretes place, and the macab and creepy stuff at Hedwigs. Where the oldest of Bormann kids saw very "heinous" pieces of furniture during a family visit.
Always informative and so we’ll done. Thank you JD & Erik for your tireless work to share the truth even as ugly as WWII could be at times.
Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich.....evil comes with the letter H, I guess. Great video, as usual, with very rare and interesting artifacts.
Sorry, should be spelled Heidrich, I believe.
Pretty interesting to see the objects that the soldiers walked away with.
I kinda laughed about the chair. When you were wondering why. My Dad went to a auction and bought a wooden chair. Just for something to sit on during the auction. A guy came up to him a little later. Who was a railroad collector and told him that. It was from a caboose on the old Illinois Central. And he was going to buy it. But missed it when they bundled it up with a couple other things. It was stamped on the bottom. Dad had no idea, But he had a place to sit for the rest of the auction.
Fascinating channel! This museum is on my bucket list!
It really is something else.
The SS were fascinated with traditional German folklore, imagery and symbolism. I expect the decoration on the chair is to do with that.
It is kind of interesting to know that these Soldier picked or looted famous Germans we got to remember they we're human beings that did go evil and didn't care about human life
Agreed.
Thanks for another great video!
🙏🏼
My wife’s great grandfather sent back a beautiful shotgun with insignia on it. Not glorifying ideology, just admiring a beautiful hand engraved shotgun. Hopefully it falls on this side of the tree.
Not that one should ever sell off a family heirloom but, for entertainment purposes having such a shotgun appraised would probably be shocking as most guns produce during the third reich are worth quite a bit…
Hopefully it’s stored in a gun safe to keep sticky fingered thieving family members from helping themselves..
I want to know where all of those ⚡⚡Death's Head rings went that were at Wewelsburg Castle.
My Dad was with the US Army Air Corps and after the war he was stationed in Linz, Hitler's home town. Dad found a rubber stamp with Nazi insignia on it, found an ink pad and stamped the stamp on a piece of paper to take with him. He had a very heavy box of tools used to repair aircraft and he simply couldn't carry any extra booty with him, so rather than the stamp itself, he took the stamped paper. Which, of course, we still have along with his war diaries and all his letters home. He did not keep letters he received til the end of the war because, again, it was too much stuff to carry with him. He has all sorts of stories from the war. He was not really in combat, but was a bomber armorer, who loaded bombs and serviced the guns in the bombers; he was in north Africa, Sicily, Sardinia, France and finally in Germany and Austria. About six months after the war ended he was finally allowed to come home by ship, of course.
I once read a story that he was beat to death by a couple of the American interrogators that were questioning him. That the cyanide pill story was provided to protect the two staff sergeants that beat him to death. Post mortem close ups show a lot of face bruising. I like the beaten to death story better.
US soldiers were NOT there. The British 'captured' him and within one of their rooms he took poison.
My great aunts husband raided one of himmlers homes. Had a few of those postcards, a signed telegram from hitler to himmler, daggers, huge nazi flag, a complete photo album and more
An amazing documentary of what U S troops had taken from Himmler's house.
👍🏻
My Dad was in the Pacific during WWII. He brought home a Japanese Rifle w Bayonet and original bullets, a Japanese flag, and several coins. He said there were stacks of rifels and mounds of coins. The Army told each man they could have a rifle and coins. The rifle has its original papers issued from the military, to bring into the US. It hangs in my family room. Not all souvenirs we just taken.
Himmler wrote in a journal all his life. Imagine children of such intellect?
It would be interesting to read that thing.
Wonder where that journal is at??
Wouldn't call it looting. I'd say, self gifting.
Like the russians do in ukraine?
Ha!
Himmler was caught at a cross road in Bremervörde. By coincidence a friend of mine many years later brought a house by the very crossroads but never knew the significance of the location
Wow!
Wasn't something the locals talked about for some reason. After I told him he asked a few locals who were a little vague about the story but the postman filled him in on the story. History and people at it's best
Himmler was about as repugnant a figure as can be named (although Heydrich might have deserved the distinction equally). Does he still have a living daughter defending his legacy? But what I wanted to say was- to your closing comments- we are never the final arbiters when it comes to history. We are all custodians; we respond to it ourselves, live out our own roles in it, and pass it all to the next generation to learn from. Thanks for all your excellent work.
Gudrun Burwitz (nee Himmler) died in 2018, age 88.
@@aerlial360 Thanks.
Interesting choice with the prog rock! Enjoyed : )
I'm a huge history fan and I'm actually a huge fan of this channel and the Gettysburg history museum and I'll be comin up there one day,I'm only 6 hrs drive away so I'll be up there one day and I very much hope that I'm lucky enough to shake both yours and Erich dorrs hands,I love you guys
That's harsh. Most evil man who ever lived? Evidently you haven't met my uncle
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your channel. From London 🇬🇧
A translation of the inscription on the photograph and of the postcards would have been interesting.
I am glad those soldiers took whatever they could get! The crap they had to endure was horrible! “Glory to the victor”!
Agreed. So much better than being destroyed.
Himmler will stand before the Almighty! The way he died will look like a walk in the park compared to what he will suffer for all eternity.
The photo with Himmler and his staff cars took place at the bottom of the steps at the Berghof
Let's be truthful everyone, they didn't loot these items as "souvenir pieces" or "conversation pieces" - THEY DID SO FOR MONEY.
My granddad was a kid during www in Brittany, saw the destruction of st malo by allied bombers living just the other side of the Rance inlet in a place called la richardais. There was a bunker and cannon in the field behind his house. When the Germans left he went in and found a 7.62 bolt action with a swastika on the cross. Later him and his friend accidentally blew up the bunker as loads of explosives had been left behind. He kept the riffle for years, sadly passed away last October. I looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it so I expect he burried it. Hopefully some archeologist along the way comes across it 😀
Oh wow. Interesting story! Thanks for sharing that.
When you have unwanted guest don’t you have the right to evict them?
Hermann Goering would fall right through that "Himmler" chair.
😅
Rick from pawn stars wouldn't have anything to do with nazi artifacts because of the creep factor. I don't agree because it is very relevant history.
Completely agree.
From Chicken Farmer to Architect of the Holocaust...what an Ideology will do to some people...
just another amazing video thanks JD
👊🏻
Cool chair very different, hell I would have taken it home too look good on the patio
Ha! Yeah, seems pretty normal until you learn who it belonged to.
Love you’re posts buddy..this one very intresting
Just think if he could have looked into the future and seen a guy in the states with a ponytail and goatee handling all of his personal photos 😂 👍
Very cool stuff. ♥️🤘♥️. Love history.
Great channel. Thanks for sharing 🤘♥️
🙏🏼
Himmler was a WEIRD dude.
"Let the worm go to the worms" indeed.
Very interesting episode!
👍🏻
I don't know if I would necessarily take souvenirs from himmler's House I definitely would kick holes in every wall he had so they had to be replaced and I know how terribly inconvenient and tedious that could be.
he was never going back there
I really need to visit this museum
I love the tunes your playing in this one
Another great video 💪
Appreciate it!
brilliant story - learn everyday
Glad you mention the uncomfortable feeling.. I always feel torn, on the one hand I am facinated by history and historical pieces but on the other (particularly with Third Reich Items) I feel a bit... dirty for want of a better phrase.
Differently people are going to come away with different feelings. I try to acknowledge all of them. Regardless of how you feel, it is some interesting stuff though.
@@TheHistoryUnderground It is. If I remember correctly Himmler decided to watch some executions of Jewish victims, went pale and almost threw up/passed out - the horrible little man couldnt even face in the flesh what he had ordained.
That chair looked like an evil entity..
I've enjoyed your videos of Germany. One thing I've always wondered about was where did Him led hide the cyanide pill??!
I would say the camp guards and commanders are beasts
I wished Erik had showed the photos more closely! Very interesting.
I was expecting to see his uniform, visor, medal shown 😀
I read a story in WW2 magazine where the U S troops raided Hitler's wolf den. One soldier took Hitler's toilet. It sold for I think $210,000. Funny story.
Saw his Walther at Ft.Jackson
Wow!
