Some history may not deserve to be celebrated but all history deserves to be remembered
-
History, whether you think it bad or good MUST be remembered. We learn the most not from our successes but our failures.

This is a great episode. I’m a WW2 nut. There are some really cool finds. People need to come off the mountain when it comes to German/Nazi war relics. Cause one displays these type of artifacts doesn’t make you a Nazi or support a Nazi cause. It is history plain and simple. I served in the army overseas in Germany in the 80s and had the pleasure to tour a lot of the battle sites. What an amazing walk thru battleground history.

I own a few nazi coins and a nazi stamp from Poland ONLY for the historical value. I’m from Polish ancestry and have done some research on the Nazi in Poland during the war. I love owning my pieces because I’m holding history in my hands instead of looking at it through glass at a museum. I do not support nazi ideals in any form, I just love the history of it.

"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." Let's not ever forget......

It's to bad that you had to keep apologizing for enjoying looking at historical artifacts. I guess that is the kind of society we have become now. I remember the good old days when you could freely speak your mind and not have to think twice about everything you were going to say so that you didn't offend someone. I miss those days.

History, while appalling at times holds countless treasures of humanities indignities and triumphs. WWII memorabilia should not disappear on behalf of hurt feelings. I would love to visit this museum someday. What a treasure trove of knowledge and education. Thank you for preserving each and every item.
-
History doesn't need a disclaimer. What a fantastic collection.
-
The cloth from the couch maybe the most powerful artifact I have ever seen. Just the sheer importance of the moment, it's confirmation of his suicide...just blows me away. As someone with a degree who focused on late-modern history, especially 20th century, I would love to actually put my own eyes on it. Thanks for sharing this, JD.
-
You had me absolutely glued to my phone screen on this one. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the next item would be shown and prove me wrong. Such an epic collection of bring backs! 🇺🇸
-
Reinhard Heydrich’s grave was recently robbed in Germany for his ww2 artifacts including his dress sword. Another Amazing video never apologize for history you are displaying in the right way 👏🇺🇸

My great uncle served in WW2 and was in the Battle of Normandy. The only wounds he had was he lost part of a thumb and index finger from a gun shot. He used to tell me stories about the war but I think he embellished them to make them more exciting. He died when I was about 11 so I never really had a serious conversation about his experiences in the war. He always said it was an honor to serve the country. He always said that after telling a story.

We moved in our house in 1987. I found a German device hidden in the basement that turned out to be (in German) a 'Mutter Kompass'. A device used in the navigation system in a WWII German bomber.
-
I have been to Gettysburg about a half dozen times, and every minute has been spent touring the battlefield. I had no idea this wealth of history has been in front of me all along. Next trip I will be sure to schedule an extra day or two to see everything I have missed in the past. Thank you JD for helping bring this priceless treasure to light.
-
Those artifacts are incredible. And it's really important for museums to keep and display these artifacts because they're physical reminders that these events took place otherwise it's just a page in a history book
-
What an exhibit. We MUST keep these items for others to view years and years from now. Great video and great artifact’s.
-
Not all history is pretty but it needs to be told. This is a case in point.
-
One of the reasons I love your channel is just here. Uncomfortable? Yup. Crucial to tell the story? Yup again. You never shy away from telling about...or learning more along with us..all sides of the story. Bravo.

I’ve watched many of your Normandy videos now and I must compliment you on the content and particularly your presentation. Your ability to impart knowledge to others in such an articulate manner, whilst conveying your sense of awe (a feeling I share whenever I visit sites like these) at what you’re experiencing really holds the interest of the viewer. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
