You showed the proper historical content of the medal. My mother’s family had members who were Jewish and were officers in the Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine. They were by no means Nazis and were persecuted when the purges began. You did a great job saving a piece of history… and you did it by explaining the historical context. We must always remember the past and the facts to have a brighter future. Thank you for your work. I am the son of Catholic and Jewish parents and appreciate how people have survived their lot in life.

There was no context. There was just restoration.

Amazing 😮 beatiful 👍 restoration...Congratulations👏 and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪👋

Outstanding! 👍😎👍

I have mixed feeling about the final finish. In the photo you referenced the badge had a bright finish. I was expecting something along those lines. In any case you did a wonderful job of preserving a piece of history.

Even if it had a bright finish originally I would be that any soldier wearing it in 1944 would have darkened it down. You do not need a piece of bright metal on your uniform attracting the attention of the enemy.

What a unique find, great job on preserving it!

Incredible work ❤

Great restoration 👏👏

@@ReXtorerI thought that’s what that was. I thought it was unsalvageable at first glance- guess I was correct.

A great find 🎉, despite the dark symbols it carries 😐.

Quel est l’autre objet ? Celui qui était accroché dans la fermeture de l’insigne ? Merci

Hey, great work! Just a quick question. How would you take off the rust out of zinc, if there was some? Is there any method for that?

You can use acids or do it mechanically. But part of the badge will be lost forever.

Zinc does not rust. Only iron rusts.

Hello everyone from Armenia ✌🏼🇦🇲✌🏼

Красота!!!

Fascinating! I really enjoyed this. No different finding confederate stuff from American civil war in Virginia, you dig where you live. :)

Супер 👍💪

Vraiment très hot !!👍👍👍

It looks great and you did an excellent job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel

That’s a property relic.

You covered a relic in soot and beeswax…. You owe me 10 minutes… awful… and the superglue was stupid

Very disappointing. Scrubbing with a toothbrush and then applying a wax coating??? Big deal. Anyone could have done that. Was really expecting more from this video.

TRASHTORATION. 🤦🤦🤦🤦

Infanteriesturmabzeichen. On one side I am fascinated, on the other hand I hope you respect the fallen soldier if you find one. The name tag is intact, so he probably still is MIA. Please don't be a souvenir hunting coward. Young guys who never had the chance to enjoy their lives, dying and lying somewhere in foreign soil, fighting for idiots and criminals. Lesson not learned still today. How sad.

Dogtad was found elsewhere. Maybe the soldier lost it. All the soldiers we find are reburied in military cemeteries.
