All I found in my barn was a BRAUN razor blade.....

The vehicle with 3 headlights is a Tatra, also known as the General Killer as it had terrible handling at high speeds.

Schwimmwagen...

The best barn find story I read was a collector out in Eastern Europe. He was following rumours of vehicles in storage, and went to a farm, expecting a lorry, or maybe a Kubo. Sitting in the barn was an intact Panzer 4 Ausf H, intact, complete with the crews' personal kit, just the way it had been parked to get out of the weather.

Every episode of Dr. Mark's is like an historical barn find.

in NZ hundreds of universal carriers were used on the hill country farms stripped down to a flat bed utility, while Sherman tanks were used into the 1990s as winch cable platforms on forestry.

Thank you Dr Felton. As someone who’s owned, repaired and restored 3 VWs (1960s models) this was both fascinating and entertaining.

I am 62 years old and had several motorcycles from the war period and after it. Thus, the oldest was a DKW from the war period and a BMW from 1948. We loved those motorcycles from the war and post-war period. We also had a Norton 500cc from which a tree grew 😃. When we opened the machine, it was like new. Days of polishing and brushing and the engine like lightning. We made the engine frame out of pipes and when we put it together it was like new, almost. I also had a Hercules (Hamburg motor werke) of 350 cc. But it was big, I don't know if bigger engines are made now. Yes I enjoyed restoring those antiques on two wheels.

My neighbor here in SW Ireland is a French man from Normandy . He told me stories of his childhood adventures back home . Small arms , hand grenades , explosives were often used in a disused quarry . Old farmers had stored lots of munitions from the War .

I have not thought much of the clean up process after a battle but now that I think about it, I am glad that these once war machines were used to help the people get their lives back on track after the war. Thank you Dr. Felton for another great video!

Mark Felton is a superb war historian.

My uncle had a friend who at age 16 after the battle of Halbe encirclement, simply drove many abandoned vehicles home to his farmstead.

On a road march northwest of Kaiserslautern in the summer 1989 I spotted a tubular built hay cart sitting near a fence line with Sd.Kfz. 251 roadwheels. They still had their war colors and the rubber tires read continental tire. Waiting for the rest of my platoon to catch up I stood by the cart wondering the history of the wheels. An SS armored column had been destroyed in the valley westward approaches of Kaiserslautern but that was too far away from this farm.

sigh, discovering a barn-find STUG would be awesome

As a German who loves History (especialy the one until 1945) I couldn't be more happy to See this German maschinery still existing and restorabel today! Again a Video that Shows History that is to often forgotten, Thanks for all your hard Work!

Mark, go find a man who used to live in Bitburg, Germany who restores Germany military vehicles, he moved to Hungary about 10 years ago and is active with production studios and supplies German vehicles, you saw him and his vehicles if you watched the movie “Valkyrie” in 2007.

My granfather built a body for his model T in New Zealand from shell casings but I only have a few pictures of it and never saw it in person. My father's boxing trophies are engraved shell casings which he modestly keeps packed away. I did get to see the two room house with a bomb shelter in the backyard my grandfather built from packing crates which is probably where I get my ability to see and use resources other's see as trash. Thanks again Dr Felton from New Hampshire USA

The opel blitz was super common in Europe, after a short break to re build a new factory (the soviets had dismantled and stolen the old one brick-by-brick) it saw production all the way up until 1975 in west Germany, and in fact 1987 under license in the UK by Bedford. (Commonly used as everything from a Fire truck to a light city bus to an ice cream van

beautiful to see these machines restored ,relics and pieces of history.

I never imagined post war vehicles used on farms. Amazing what a person can learn when you open the treasure chest of Mark Felton Productions. Thanks again Dr Felton!
