Does being around Nazi memorabilia all the time mean that my brain is somehow absorbing Nazi ideology?
No.
Does sitting next to a bust of AH on my desk mean that I idolize the individual?
No.
Is collecting items belonging to one of the most infamous military organizations analogous to subscribing to their beliefs?
No.
Is having a massive 15 foot long Nazi garrison flag badass?
Absofuckinlutely.

I agree.
no
they sure did know how to make nice shit
hello fellow collector.
I don't have much nazi stuff, though I do have a panzerfaust and a stick grenade along with a few other items.
I used to post on Jow Forums a lot, was also a tripfag (solleks), though those times are long since gone.
Most of my stuff is US, ww1 and ww2 with a focus on demilled ordnance, though really I just buy what I want.
My collection ranges from a japanese blade from the 1300's to modern equipment.
I can post more if yall want, but il just stick my fancy nazi pic here.
oh also my old man owns a K500 Zundapp with sidecar made in 1937, has holes drilled for the MG34 and has a few military specific features.... which means i have access to a nazi motorcycle lmao
^the bike in question.
>collecting the medals instead of doing what the medal holders did to deserve them
absolutely disgusting. you dishonor these men by wasting your time collecting painted peaces of metal when your race is being genocided. copout.
you're absorbing Uncle's spirit tho
i think men are fascinated with German armed forces during ww2. it's normal. History channel shows used to consist of 90% nazi germany.
Hello, also fellow collector. While we’re at it, how about a memorabilia appreciation thread?
>a bust of AH
>15 foot long Nazi garrison flag
plz show
Nah, as long as you know the “crazy Uncle” is crazy, he’s mostly benign.
I already did my military time, friend. Can you say the same?
forgot to note, the stick grenades in that pic are a ww1 wooden practice and a ww2 metal with sand practice, I did more recently get a demilled real one with fragmentation sleeve.
Pulling pics off my phone, il be home in like an hour if you faggts want the good ol timestamp pics.
>an NSA agent and FBI agent walk into a thread
shure.
Now, I know you all prob don't like imgur links but honestly I don't feel like posting all of my pics in this thread, my album is 103 images long after all lol.
I post it all over the fucking place.
also better pic of the zundapp.
kek, naw, I just like things that are simply shells of their former selves.
nice collection
Exactly. They are relics of an important, but unfortunate, period of human history. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nice collection, mate. Is the AH cuff original? If so, wow. I have a small collection of arm bands, infantry assault badges, iron cross's, helmet etc mostly sourced from the good folk at wehrmacht awards. Where do you get your stuff from?
>15 foot long Nazi garrison flag
repops?
if not those are hella nice.
Thank you, maplefriend. It’s not just German. Aestheticism knows no boundaries.
i'm jealous
Doubleya doublya 2 shit is too rich for me at this point. Kinda want to pick up some reichsmarks to throw in the coin collection though while they're still plentiful, but as far as guns go, even mosins are $300 now and that fact makes me sad I didn't buy a crate for $1,000 back in the day.
Nice collection guys! I love the condition the bike is in, very well taken care of, shows the love and care you put into it, good job
MFW im in a naiz thread and I don't post my nazi flight helmet, just the ww1 US flight helmet =/
MFW im a foam head with a nazi flight helmet on.
Thank you. Everything in the OP is 100% original.
>is owning things because I think they're edgy badass?
Lol no. Nazi shit is great for collecting if you like history. It's not "cool" in any way.
fuck off fag
Also, sorry for not answering your question. I source mostly from private collections, but I do have a small network of historians and curators where items pop up occasionally.
These are reproductions. I like to have fun too lol
>very well taken care of, shows the love and care you put into it,
my old man got it a few years ago, it has a fun story.
First, it was given to taiwan after the war, painted blue and used as a taxi.
Then it was used in some chinese ww2 movie, painted (very, very poorly I may add) tan.
Then it sat in his neighbor's shed for 40 years after he bought it and imported it (he was navy)
Then our tree fell on said shed and my old man offered to buy it from him.
We then took about 2 years (still technically not done but it is repainted and got it running) restoring it, also got proper paint and was able to save a bit of the german grey / green coloration in a few spots, but overall sand blasted it to get the rust off.
and now we just take it out ever so often (always with a chase bike, save one time I did a beer run in it lol) and plan on using it for displays and shit.
Cry more, tubby.
National socialism aesthetics were amazing. We will never have banners flying around gates, bridges, public buildings with symbols representing our countries. Why even live.
haha, I have a repro practice stick grenade I'v thrown a few times.
[I have a lot of demilled grenades that are real though lol]()
What was "crazy" about him?
I did my time, and that guy is right. You're a faggot coward collecting other people's medals while America dies.
It’s a good thing I’m a professional historian then, friend.
MFW I have posted on reddit too much lately....
I feel like a faggot now.
Real nice. I envy you guys in the states with a solid collectors market and the power of the $US. The state of the $AU (south pacific peso) is not conducive for buying and hasnt been for awhile.
If no one collects and preserves them, no one will remember them.
What do you contribute to your cause?
gib panzershrek, I NEED IT.
no really, I would love to get one some time.
It would go great next to my PIAT, M29a1 or any of my other items in pic.
also, how does one become a professional historian? I just buy shit I like.
the ratte would've worked, too many haters
also the only way to win was mass producing gustav cannons, debate me
hey im waiting for the war to start
>What was "crazy" about him?
Defending yourself and your nation against the jew, apparently.
What do you think of Viktor Vusorov's work?
*Suvorov
this so fucking much
t. former sergeant infantry
First, graduate degree in history. Then, get hired by a historical institution to conduct research and build a network. Then, firesale :)
Nice. Keep collecting then. My gramps "collected" a lot of Nazi shit back in the day.
heh, I guess il stick to IT because there is no way in hell im going back to college.
also, my ww2 stahlhelm has a bullet hole in it, while my ww1 one is just missing a ligner.
The one in your pic is obv dug, I just wonder if it is a ww1 like the helm's age suggests or if it was one of the few used at the start of ww2 before production was up to par.
gustavs deployed as anti-aircraft weapons could fire in volleys at 200km range turning most of the bomber formation into a kill zone.
It took krupp a few weeks to make them (dora and gustav) so over the war a substantial arsenal could've been accumulated. A rail network setup along the border to transport them to intervention sites during attacks would increase fire density too.
Not necessarily crazy, mentally (but there’s significant evidence that he wasn’t all there at the end). But most students of warfare would agree that holding tactical control at the strategic level is crazy, militarily speaking.
is this a r60 bmw?
got one from my father but got stolen..
fuck paris
no, its not a BMW, its a K500 Zundapp...
shit, remember when arasakas were $25 guns?
my T38 is a $700 rifle now... hell my T14 is a $500+ pistol and those used to go for under $100 all day.
I'm also sad that mosions are so expensive now. Never owned one, I did not like em (old man had one he sold, was meh to shoot).
lucky K98k's are still fairly cheap in the $400 range, at least for a shooter. Most other ww2 long guns do start at around $800 for shooters and just go up from there though.
god damn, that fucker ran head first into a machine gun lol.
holy crap thats some nice condition
It’s certainly a family tradition, on my side. Collecting is a great way to keep history alive. Props to your gramps.
It just makes you a complete idiot to worship a closet gay who was used by NWO and bankers in Washington to collapse west and enable multinational NATO UN Federal Reserve takeover
If you have Roman stuff nobody would accuse you of being pro-slaver etc.
Why would having WW2 German stuff make you a Nazi?
And i will see how you will worship Nazis,or anyone else who sold out to Federal Reserve elites,when all of USA is sold out to China.
They are selling you out,and you are worshiping people who sold their countries out(in this case Germany which was taken over by financial elite and whole of Europe thanks to Nazis)

Nobody’s perfect, friend.
I think it’s just perception desu. Rome (real Rome) is just too long ago to be relatable to the going ons of today. Quickly skimming my brain, the farthest back I can think of that has applicability today is calling someone a Crusader. That’s just off the top of my head, though.
Side note, I’m going to stay out of Jow Forums‘s lane in discussion, but I’ll start to post what I/we have in the weapons department.
No, but it does make you a larper that collects memorabilia from a nation that your country did everything to first destroy physically, and after the war neuter the remaining people living there mentally.
Also most of your collection probably got corpse fleddered.
Should I get a Waffen SS dagger or a luftwaffe dagger.
I'm looking to buy an Iron cross personally, how much is it? Honestly i wish to have a 1st class cross but I know the price of theses one are really high so I want to start with a second class like you do.
>implying its not 50% replica
Americans are an invenitve people
As I said earlier, I am a professional historian with an undergraduate and graduate degree in history, currently employed by a historical institution to research and collect items with provenance to the early 20th century. Call me a larper if you wish, but I take satisfaction in being paid to do this.
Went to buy a Garand stock from some old guy, he had all kinds of nazi shit, including this weird "shrine" With some hitler head thing, some armbands, kives , a few pistols, etc..
I said "So, you collect this shit?".. he said. "Naah, it just helps me remember all the sons of bitches I killed in order to collect it. ".
Everything that I’ve posted except for the three grenades are verified real.
That’s badass. The greatest generation was the greatest for a reason.
Well, i believe you.
But to me it feels like with the amount of memorabila you can find in the US we should have won the war.
It would depend on year, condition, class, and device status. A lot of people underestimate ebay. The people born between WW2 and Vietnam, who are the main population selling their mementos, usually aren’t aware of the professional networks and markets that exist. Do research and figure out what you need to look for. If it’s too good to be true, it is.
Believe me, if you knew how much US memorabilia is floating around out there, you would know why we finished out on top.
Gibs me dat. Fucker im always fixin on japbikes, britbikes, i love fixing bikes. Gimme a nazibike to wrench on.. plox.
>this guy
>that guy right there
Goals desu
you say the wrong thing on twitter and the police come round to caution you only to find this is where you live.
DAMN your toys are way better than mine!
>Why would having WW2 German stuff make you a Nazi?
Rome was 2,000 years ago so no one cares anymore. Nazi Germany is still somewhat recent so it still matters to normies.
First rifle I ever owned, I’m still finding waffen marks
