Researching and collecting World War II helmets, identification tags, badges and military souvenirs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- World War II military souvenirs are often still found today in old houses, attics or basements. All too often I hear that such items have been thrown in the garbadge or sold off at pawn shops or flee markets for a few dollars.
If you have such WWII items (helmets, identification tags, badges, souvenirs, etc) that you have little or no interest in, please contact me at the email shown in the video or in the links below, and I may be interested to buy it for a good price. My point is not to earn money, but to find interesting objects to keep and preserve them on the long term.
If you have WWII relics on which names or serial numbers of soldiers are written, I can also offer free help to try to research the soldier the item belonged to.

I had a US army helmet liner given to me by a friend. My grandson wore it playing army in the back yard. It had a name and serial number written on the inside of the liner. I went to the internet and typed on his name and several names came up. One was in his 90’s with a phone number. I call d the number and a man answered. I asked him if he had been in the army and read the serial number to him and asked if that was him. He answered yes. I told him I had his helmet liner. He was very excited and said he hadn’t seen it in over 60 years. He had been in the army in Korea. I told him I would mail it to him and I did. He offered to pay me for it and I refused. Sometime later I received a letter thanking me for sending it to him and he inclosed $50.
Wow fascinating incident ❤
amazing thank you
in joy see your youtube page and the work you put into researching the diffrent items i wish much success with finding a vice for those no long here.
I am impressed and grateful for all that you do, I am looking to research members of my own family who fought in WWII wondering If you can point me in the right direction for this task.
Send me an email with a bit more info on them.
good job
Brilliant your work..putting name and face to that forgotten relics,the human touch..
Really interesting seeing those items returned to their original owners or at least relatives!
My grandfather still has a piece of uniform and Iron Cross (1st class I believe) of his great uncle who was kia in 1917
What do you mean by a "piece of uniform"? You mean a piece cut off from the uniform?
@@CrocodileTear Exactly, the part on the shoulder showing the rank. Both were sent back by his superior officer
@@size1985 Interesting and unusual.
@@CrocodileTear There was a letter at some point, describing the circumstances of his death. But unfortunately it has been lost several decades ago
One day I WILL own a genuine “GOTT MIT UNS” Wehrmacht belt buckle 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
JaWöhl!
They can be found very easily and are worth about 50$
@@CrocodileTear wow, thank you for taking the time to personally reply!
i had badge of General De gaulle from ww2
I have a lot of ww1 items I have to look at them see if I can find some name on it
Very sad 😢
What do you know of the Bulgaria front? Also i have a bag i bought as a teen its beat to hell now but it has a name and number.
I know next to nothing about the Bulgarian front. What country is the bag from?
I've always wanted to find him and thank him.
@@turtleofpride4572 SEnd me some photos of the bag and the inscriptions.
Recently i have found a registration number plate with metal detector that belonged to 15.ss police regiment of 3.battalion which was stationed in Trieste and was later killed in Slovene partisan ambush near the villages of Branik and Komen. After the ambush the number plate in visible on the ground near the truck( crime scene picture, 3.2.1944).I found the number plate about 5m from where the picture was taken.
90 german polizei and italian black shirts were killed that day in 15min and only one escaped.
His name was Bruno Benedetto and i was told that he is not researchable because he was from an orphanage, and i cant find nothing about him, he was in GNRMDT - 1° Rgt. "Trieste".
Cascarones?😳

Hello! Thanks for your work. can you help identify the name of a German soldier by his badge?
Probably not just by a badge, no.
@@CrocodileTear I wrote incorrectly . according to his Erkennungsmarke
@@CrocodileTear The translator did not translate correctly. not by the badge but by its Erkennungsmark
The translator did not translate correctly. not by the badge but by its Erkennungsmark
@@ЁЛДАШ-з4ъ Yes, the Erkennungsmarken can be decoded in Berlin now. Here is an example: ruclips.net/video/vqKUvmCnd9g/видео.html
I have a wallet with a soldbuch and some letters and photos that was taken from a dead German soldier in WW1, by an American soldier. There is a note with it that says "Taken from a dead German soldier by (American soldier's name), he needed his shoes, God rest his soul". I plan to do further research and try to locate the soldier's family members.
i have a british helmet
