Early pipes like yours have vulcanized rubber stems. When they get old, they turn a unsavory yellow/brown. You can polish it with something like VIM (liquid abbrasive household cleaner) to turn it back to gleaming darkbrown/black. Nice set of kit!

The two white stripes on the socks which you don't comment on were, as with issue gloves, an indication of their size. For example two rings, size 5 - 7, three rings, size 8 -9.

big news. epic militaria have aww2 German pocket litter section of the store now. good for any UK reenactors. might be good for international reenactors, but postage and import might be very expensive. great video

I like how you displayed the items

As the war progressed, I bet the average German soldier could consider himself very lucky if he could keep 20% of what we're seeing here! If you have the chance, try to visit the Kyiv War Museum in Ukraine - maybe it's wiser to wait first for the war to end - in which you will be able to see all these items in original condition plus many, many more Wehrmacht and Soviet gear. Possibly it will be the very first time you see these items in color! Worth a visit. The Museum is located inside the base of the gigantic "Motherland calls" monument, located close to the river. Outside there is a large display of Tanks, military vehicles and combat aircraft, and a very short distance away there is a dedicated Afghanistan War Museum. You'll be impressed.

Lovely cleaning kit!

Never thought of that before. A spoon with a fork on the other end. It would be useful even if it weren't foldable.

its missing some "Pervitin" tablets.. they was issued but later soldiers was asking their relatives to send some with the next packet from home also a german army/trench lighter - there is 2 different models.

Very nice and keep up with the content and the videos

Eidelwipe toilet paper?!? Awesome! Thanks for these awesome videos, bud.

I was hoping to see an original box of Pervitin again.

Love this kinda stuff.

World war guy I think you forgot the fat container

That chocolate tastes fantastic, and can still be gotten from Germany

One thing People sleep on is a Mess Knife, a simple captured GI Mess knife will help tremendously when you have to cut some food item you dont want to come in contact with your breadbag knife that has been cutting wire, dirt, clothing, bandages etc etc

I think you would be missing somthing, the Cristal meth tabs so they would fight all day and night

Nice video good job

Great video! One of the things I plan on also carrying when I build up my kit (Grenadier Regiment 914) that I don’t see done often is a bible

Awesome video. I’ve taken a near 3 years off re-enacting but hopefully will get to one in PA this sept. What unit are you in?

You should check what pipe maker that is. I see a white dot on the stem. If its a Dunhill its highly sought after. Especially if you clean her up a bit. 50s and 60s Dunhills go for 300 plus easy once polished up.

Very nice kit, for the period.

5:22 Haha!

So regarding the lemonade packet, they were around during ww2 that part is true but the packet I do not believe is original.

What I keep in my pockets is: A linnen towel to wipe your hands with etc, Pocket knife, Cigarret tin(I don't smoke though), And some other things ofc but you already mentioned that.

Nice

Great video its too hot to do my german impression where i live

Russian stuff could have easily been used in Normandy, a lot of divisions saw action on both fronts. Also lots of goods that have been captured was re-issued to the German army, so I'd say its highly possible.

Mate that little bag you keep your shaving gear in, In short my great uncle was in the Wheremacht, he told me it was used to tie round your neck to eat sausage and hard tak in to eat while on the march.

I have the same shaving brush

This isn't really related to the video but I could try to make you a channel art because currently yours is just a picture, if I do where could I send you it?

Where’d you get that roll at? Like the grey thing u keep it all in?

I never see nail clippers in kits

Where did you buy the shaving brush?

thats nicee

Try to get a Rotbart Mond Extra DE shaver and a Palmolive shaving soap stick that would be period exact.

I gotta know where you got that journal at 3:30.

add a few American or British souvenirs. Especially period currency, propaganda leaflets, looted pin ups

If you’re reenacting maybe scribble a few things in German (and in pencil) on your various pieces of paper (like the goggles)

I hate esbit because when I open my foot locker it makes my room stink Also for us personal hygiene do you like wash rolls or ditty bags

You forgot a h in the "Schütze" in your Soldbuch

Where did u get the hold all

At least as far as though the Americans had lemonade powder during work and came in there rations sod the Germans probably had them as well

What about DAK can u make one for DAK

Where do you keep that fat toilet paper roll lol? Everything else is small or flat so they could fit somewhere, but the toiler paper roll is neither small nor flat

3:30

They barely ate. They were on speed.

You sound like you need a Delta Dresden

The Wehrmacht issue Toilet paper is a complete fantasy item. I hope you didn't pay too much for it.

Código de barras en la lata de scho Ka kola 🤔

The personalized book you have, isn't it a bit scandalous?

Hello, I don’t know where to promote my ww2 gear on eBay

Most likely not see. I saw what you did there

Where is pervitin?

Ditch the toilet paper.

No Pervitin?

Head ache powder and condoms are missing

Toilet rolls?

Soap in russia we say tontaso

you have ww2 candy but not any ww2 money so? you spent your money on candy

Are these all original?

historically correct wallets are sold by "Verlag Kopf", in Europe: verlagkopf.com/product/leather-wallet, as a reproduction of "Ersatzledermaterial" (a leather copy material maybe due to shortage of actual real leather at the time).

Condoms???

Scho-Ka-Kola was a little bit different. But great job.

You are talks about nazy soldiers, who killing civilians, kids? Who destroy thousands of villages and some burning with people? Who bombing cities up to burning to ashes?

If you ignore it's all American made......
