Nazi memorabilia collection

I am not an expert on German small arms, but I did listen to what he said. He never said the FG42 was the fastest firing machine gun of World War 2. In fact, the FG 42 is not a machine gun. It is a select fire main battle rifle used by German paratroopers.
He said the MG 42 was the fastest firing machine gun of WWII. Most knowledgeable people would say that or something similar, as its rate of fire was far higher than any other gun used by ground forces in World War II.
You said the MG 34 variants mounted In aircraft fired faster than the FG42. Thus you fail to distinguish between a rifle and a machine gun.
A gun called the MG 81 was used by the German airforce. It was a variant of the MG34. But has a distinct name that you got wrong, as you also wrongly asserted that the FG42 was discussed in the video. The MG 81 did have a slightly hire rate of fire than the MG42
There is a difference between making mistakes and being a fraud. I like the old man. I think the internet allows characters like this to entertain and educate. But the internet also is a platform for petty people to defame others, while asserting expertise and self righteousness.

My mistake on the FG/MG. I misheard. Almost the rest is nonsense. Just cause youre amused by misinformation doesn’t mean we all are.
And regardless, the Mg42 isn’t the fastest shooting machine gun. It’s fast but not as fast as the aircraft MG.
The internet is also a place to butthurt over a strangers comments. Lol

Yeah. He’s got lots of fake and suspect stuff. Wish he was a little more knowledgeable when discussing his collection, but I wouldn’t complain if he gave me all his gear! Lol
Definitely not a “Neo Nazi”, as he is Jewish.

Wow, a guy spends his life in an attempt to chronicle aspects of WW2 but that' not enough for some. He should also have an iq of 180, and never be wrong with his stories of events. That's a high bar for most basement dwellers. Despite some inaccuracies and questionably authentic artifacts. his collection and the story it tells can not be dismissed casually. OMG those canisters are fakes therefore.........................those mg's were not near as lethal as those uncles, fathers, and grandfathers mowed down thought they were.

Jaylegger, you're likely to young to remember much of the mainstream media's efforts to make sure people never forgot the horrors perpetrated on humanity by the Nazis. There are many "Holocaust Deniers" out there, thankfully not enough and they aren't highly respected.
Some people recoil in disgust or fear at anything that says "NAZI"
It's all part of how different people react to certain stimuli.
That collection isn't for everyone. As for Museums, I see that many repositories of historical items, such as WWII memorabilia have removed those items from their displays. I'm thinking that the only REAL references that will be left will be in "Private Collections"

Pretty ignorant statement. You can have a interest in something and possess items without believing in the philosophies behind it. My interest in WWI items and firearms doesn't mean that I am a supporter of the Tsar or the Austrian-Hungarian empire, simply that is the history that interests me.
To show how stupid your argument is does that mean if you own Soviet firearms your a Communist? If you believe so then you believe most firearms owners are Communists (thanks to the Mosin Nagant and SKS).

because i don't ! I don't know why someone would want ice tongs that dragged around dead bodies or cans of zyclon B sorry about offending you
Have a nice day
A lot of collectors AND reputable dealers won't touch WW2 Nazi/German articles not for moral reasons though. The fact is that there is such a fascination with it for thousands of people for a variety of reasons that fakes and doctored up originals are widespread in the market. Unfortunately any time there is money to be made from collectors there will be a cottage industry in fakery.
I think that if collections like these are not accessible - and most museum collections are not - people will forget. If they are "edited" and limited and manipulated by politics, the truth will eventually die. When the facts are there to be seen the truth can't die. His collection should be front and centre in a museum, but there are some incredibly unpleasant items there and most people don't want to see what our species is capable of, so it isn't. If he donated it all to a museum, they wouldn't display it - they'd catalogue it in an archive and it would never see the light of day. That's how we forget history, and that's how we repeat it. Ask the average 17 year old about Nazis and WW2 and all you'll get is a bewildered look and probably a reference to Donald Trump.

I can agree with that
LOL not offended. Just find people like you silly...older folk who are set in their ways. He has an interest in WW2 memorabilia and has an amazing collection. Who gives a rats ass if he has cans of zyclon B? Some people collect weirder ####. And if you dont have an interest in it why even watch the video? Have a great night
Seriously??? I see no problem with these sorts of collections and that's your reply. whatever. Not sure how you or anyone could completely misinterpret my post but read it again with the from the perspective that theses collection good, those who complain about them bad.
