The reason the video was from far away was due to the covid restrictions.

Old Abe was the mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War. The original 101st patch was a blue wool shield sometimes I have seen it in black as well. I t has the eagle head & below flames to symbolize Old Abe being consumed by fire in Feb 1881.

I got an email saying there was a comment by 'K-Nyne' "Nice how you're nitpicking stuff you have no idea about yourself" Unsure if they deleted it after posting, or if it doesn't show up, it certainly doesn't show up for me, so to to make sure it shows up for everyone,I thought I repost it for them. OK, so how would I address this comment? Well, we can assume that K-Nyne either knows either nothing or very little about the topic as they have poorly assume that I know nothing myself. Despite commenting on plently of videos with actual facts are reasoning. OR, their comment is a pathetic attempt to troll... which will fail, sociopaths literally don't care at all what people think. You'll have to google that long word K-Nyne and do some reading to understand what that means. The question is really do I know what I'm talking about... if this K-Nyne wants to defend what these guys are doing badly, then great, teach us what they could do better and amazes us with you knowledge on the subject, please oh wise one... please go ahead and justify all that I pointed out wrong with these guys based on my lack of knowedge; with your superior knowledge...

First of all, I really like your videos (and the MissDrop44-Website) and I learn a lot! I'm trying to create a 502nd Airborne uniform myself, but I'm still a bit afraid of decking oil. ;-) Even if the "reenactors" presented here are really a funny bunch, maybe they have the Schmeisser story from Wikipedia. Here it says: "The MP 40, a further development of the MP 38 from 1938, was produced from the beginning of 1940 and was the standard submachine gun of the German Wehrmacht in World War II.Because of Hugo Schmeisser's involvement in the production company and the imprint of his name on the magazines, the MP40 became known as the "Schmeisser", especially to the English-speaking enemy." "Erfurt-based Maschinen- und Werkzeugfabrik Berthold Geipel GmbH (ERMA) continued to make design improvements to its Erma EMP submachine gun, and the result was an MP36. ERMA's chief designer Heinrich Vollmer used its basic design and developed it into the famous German submachine guns of World War II, the MP38 and the MP40. 1.2 million of these weapons were produced, and they became known internationally as the "Schmeisser-MP." This was also due to the fact that the bar magazine of the MP38 or MP40 came from Schmeisser and was marked as such." In fact, Hugo Schmiesser was not involved in the development of the MP40, but kept the patent on the magazines. As far as I am correctly informed. Best wishes from Germany!

You complain about no CC2, why don’t you try wearing CC2 M42s in 90 degree weather with no shade, same as why they wear the T-shirt. We actually care about the well beings of our member and don’t want them to have a heat stroke.

For when you want to appear smart but can't remember the actor's name...... Gary Cooper, you dolt.

Gary Cooper played Sgt. York?

Was it the M 18 that preceeded the MP 38?
