WAM Show Journal - OVMS Show of Shows, Louisville KY, February 2019
It's the first Show Journal of 2019, and what a better place to start off than the Ohio Valley Military Society's Show of Shows in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky.
This time around we've got old friends, new friends, a lot of great militaria, and... horse mannequins.
Many of you asked for longer videos, and the squeaky wheels are about to be greased; this one runs just a hair shy of an hour.
Many thanks to OVMS! If you are not already a member of this fantastic organization I suggest you join immediately:

Either going this year in November for my birthday or next year in february. Being a youth collector this is like the holy grail for me, especially for my birthday. I live in Louisville so having this here is awesome. Great time for me and my Grandfather.
This made me choose what I would like to start collecting as my family is of Prussian decent!
An impressive display of items once again, terrific job job and keep it up.
Impressionnant ! une part d'histoire, très dur mais justement à ne pas oublier ! merci pour le partage et longue vie à vous ! Best regards from France.

I really enjoy these videos.

Karinhall Was blown up on Goerings orders in 1945. Thx for a great Vlog Mr. Wittmann.
Really enjoy watching these. Tom is such a fun and knowledgeable guy. I loved Tom's reaction to the kid telling him about his 3,000 dollar helmet. 😀 Lana's website is one of the best on the internet btw. What a beautiful classy lady! 58:17 "made in 1833 wow! Plainly says 1863 😁
Wonderful video, it was my first time going to a show like this and it was amazing. Thank you so much for taking a look at my luftwaffe dagger also and giving me more information on it, pleasure meeting you!

Absolutely and any time.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
I live in nyc will definetely come to the next one in february
Nice Video! best regards from Germany
Love your videos Tom. I’m pretty much an expert on WWII history but I never collected any militaria. I have learned a lot from you about all the German knifes ,dagers and swords. I collected handguns for many years but non military. If I was younger I would love to collect some of the German and American WW II handguns but living in CA with the screwed up firearms laws we have here now makes it almost impossible unless I still held a FFL,even getting another now is a pain in the ass. ,
I hear Marge Schott had quite a collection.
🤣😂 gotta b quick💰💨even with old friends
That marine sa.... 😍
Karen Hall was destroyed when I don’t no but there is only rubble & footings and the cellar left. I visited last year FYI ...

Ugh; that sucks and I'm sorry. Tom is always (and I do mean always) talking about these videos being done mainly for the guys who can't make it there. Hopefully it helps.
First time I've heard a man of Whittman's knowledge question Carinhall being blown up. Everything I've ever watched or read stated that they demolished it. Was it resurrected in some way? Carin Goering was entombed there. Her body was exhumed and was moved there from its original location to Carinhall in a bit of a ghoulish ceremony that Hitler took part in. I don't recall whether it was moved again since the demolition, which was apparently done so it wouldn't fall into Soviet hands as part of their scorched earth policy.
Anyone know what make of break action revolver that is at 19:43 ?

Asking price for items?
The inscription on the mayor chain of Leipzig says "The common good is the highest law". BTW Alexander Coppel, the founder of ALCOSO (Alexander Coppel Solingen) was of jewish decent. Fun fact.
3:55 the blued SA MARINE 👍👍👍
When I started, I knew exactly what I wanted..... flags, banners and some dishes & cutlery.

Actually, these things are to be treated as looted art. They belong to members of the German army ... or their heirs. But in the entrance area you justify yourself with cardboard signs: "their Victory their Souvenirs" and tell something about: we preserve history.
The Political leader(Nazi party) rank is Oberabscnhittsleiter or Senior section leader, Above middel high rank .But I am not sure about the color on the insignia - only seen it in grey and gold ??? A quite rare uniform and very nice. If it is an original and no fake ? And the blade on the Marine SA ..... just wow....
M1 helmet 3000$ ??🤔 i think he is lying😂
Your cameraman Doesn’t know how to focus the camera up close sad
Wacky walter !
I represented the US Artillery display
Objetos de valor só do 1 escalão ou famaso😣
I hate to think of the amount of resources they used making this stuff. No wonder the Soviets won!
May or may not have accidentally crashed this video twice, in the background 😀
Can anyone attend these shows?
