The SOS Show Louisville 2024
In this video we visit U505 the German Uboat stationed in Chicago Illinois. Then on to the worlds biggest Militaria fair, the Show of Shows in Louisville Kentucky where I managed to pick up lots of new items as well as buy and sell a fantastic German camo Fallschirmjager Double Decal helmet. Finally we go to Washington DC to work on the new Military Mode Book ‘Afrika Korps’ Volume 1. Whilst in town we visit Various historic museums.

Exactly that! Cheers mate
Great video of the 505! Back in the 60s as a child we visited the museum when we were on vacation visiting my dad’s brother and family. My uncle George was a machinist mate on the Guadalcanal when they captured the 505. He was one of the guards during their stay on the carrier. He was the only one who would turn the fans on giving the prisoners a break from the constant heat being below decks. After he went off guard duty, they turn the fans back off. German NCO Hans Goebeler was an artist and drew my uncle 2 prints for his kindness towards his crew members, which I still have copies of, since the originals were stolen when he was moving to Baltimore, Maryland. Back in the 90s I was able to contact Hans Goebeler which at that time was living in Florida. He remembered my uncle and gave him the phone number to correspond with my uncle. I still collect World War II German memorabilia. Thank you again for your video.

thanks a lot! That is amazing!
That wall of helmets and visor caps is amazing!
That U-Boat display in Chicago is incredible, so well presented. The Americans really know how to put on a show! And what a collection your friend has, must be worth £££m's !
Years ago, at Groton subbase there was a post war German diesel sub that you could walk through. Closest I coud get to an actual U Boat. I would put the U 505 in the same category as the captured Tiger 1 tank at Bevington England.
Good on ya for not letting them bully you in to getting the jab.

Thanks so much mate😀
I believe the producers of the movie Das Boot, came to Chicago and used dimension specifications and artifacts to design their sets for the movie. I first saw the U-505 when I was a small child. It was outdoors then.
I visited the U505 on 20 May 2019, at which time the wound badge was oriented correctly. I have a photo of it.

Is that Matt Tredwen at the top of the meal table ??? !!
Danny, which video did you do previously on the Chicago collection, that you mentioned? Would love to view. Thanks.
Dan - Was there much 19th Century (Napoleonic or Victorian Wars) stuff at the SoS ? Looked to be mainly WW2 and German, US & British.
Hello Regimentals Are You Going Military Odyssey This Year?

Aren't we getting a little tired of the story of the silverware taken from the Eagles Nest? I've seen probably 50 of them claiming those huge silverware sets were from there. How much silverware did they have on hand?!
