THIS STORY:
In November 1945, three American Army officers stationed in Germany pulled off a dramatic jewel heist when they stole the Hesse Crown Jewels that were concealed in a German castle occupied by US troops.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Intrepid Ron!! Through rain, snow, wind, noise from lawnmowers, tree trimmers, airplanes, trains and now dodging sprinklers to bring us another fascinating story. Thanks, Ron!! You are an amazing story teller! 💜
Could it be under the wall? Or 22:58 statue Or she might be without the headstone
💯
IMO, this is not a case of spoils of war. This is a case of disobeying direct orders given by Eisenhower. Great research and story telling. Thank you.
All hail Ron Carlson, The Sprinkler Gauntlet Champion 🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆
I am sorry but im laughing hard at all the sprinklers
😅😂
I am too! He’s just great!
He didn't have to worry about getting to hot...
She's no more guilty than the rest of the military who brought home "treasures." Our higher-ups drank the wine, lived like the richest of the rich in that castle, and enjoyed the spoils of war while their underlings were being shot and killed for them. Unfortunately, war is greed, plain, and simple.
She stole and dismantled important historical jewellery belonging to the Royal Family. Its still a war crime.
"...no more guilty than..." still means guilty. Right? If your neighbor steals something from your garage and I steal something from your garage, would you say it is okay because I am no more guilty than your neighbor?
Family heirlooms that was stolen from murdered Jewish people? She & all of them were absolutely wrong!
Herman Gohering was notorious for looting art museums to enhance his collection. If memory serves correct, there are still pieces that were never found. His daughter actually had the nerve to sue the German government in an attempt to keep some stolen art that was presented to her on her birthday as a child. She lost.
@MichaelJones-rn2pq various levels of guilt. It's like you are saying that everyone is a reckless driver because everyone violates speed limits. There is a big difference between those that go a few over and those that go a hundred over.
Also, if you took a nail from my garage, versus someone that stole my bass fishing boat, I could give 2 shits about the nail. Sure, I would have appreciated the ask, but I have bigger fish to fry.
Mr. Ron,
Would you look into the story of a lovely hometown young man, who in my opinion, died a hero.
His name, Paul Edwin Carey. He was the kindest soul.
Whenever I see a military plane, as the one you showed on that headstone, I think of him. You see, he was flying a plane with military officials on board.
Something went wrong, and Paul managed to guide the plane away from a populated area and crash-
landed it in a clearing.
Not so long before that, I had received a wedding invitation from Paul. When I learned of this tragedy, all I could do was think of his beautiful wife and young children.
That has been so many years ago, and I still think of him when I hear about/see a military plane.
Paul was raised by amazing parents and you were blessed to know him.
His last act in this life was to steer that plane towards a clearing to avoid killing who knows how many people on the ground. 😢
I’ll keep it in mind thank you
Declassified information on him says the plane was hit and disabled during a bombing mission over Osaka Japan. The plane was still able to fly, they attempted to land on Iwo Jima but the plane exploded about 60 miles away. Only one person survived, he was the person who gave the classified report.
Sprinkler gauntlet😂😂 go Ron!
The road not taken...if they had turned in all the jewels intact would someone else higher up have kept them? 🤔 That was a beautiful tombstone for Peter Koury. It's always so sad to see the graves of military men who lost their lives in combat. The very nice photo made me wonder what his life would have been like and what would he have accomplished had he lived.
lots of people lied about their age to join the war. Women during world war 2 are often under valued. As grandson of world war 2 veterans one that served as cook here for a general here and and one that served on a battle ship overseas i thankyou for telling these stories.
That was an intriguing story..the looting and thievery of the war was another horror we must never be allowed to be forgotten..it seems like this woman is being purposely hidden from being found..even in death..the family descendants may know why..when you panned out the camera view, it seemed like a rectangular outline was faintly showing in the grass growth. someone knows! Someday a gem or two could show up at an Antiques Roadshow lol.Great story and scenery.
Glad I wasn't the only one to see a rectangular outline in the grass. Why it would have been dug up is anyone's guess. There is money in selling the metal, possibly brass, on it but doubt a reputable scrap dealer would risk buying a grave marker.
😂🤣😂🤣 Between the weed whipper & the sprinklers, you went to battle telling your war story!
It was like the battle of the bulge 😀
What a fascinating story!!! On so many levels . Also think it's spread out through the family. Seems like if Eisenhour said don't do it - they shouldn't have started "Splitting Hairs" to make it OK. Looking at it that way it makes them all kind of a disgrace. Maybe that's why the exact location has become "lost" over the years? Not sure I would have left a flower...
Ron's cemetery adventures: trains, wildlife, sprinklers, and more. LOL. Always an adventure no matter where you go. This was a great story, but my feeling is at the heart of everything it was theft. Spoils of war, or not, things were taken that weren't theirs. As far as where the rest of the things are, I'm sure they are "hidden" among family, who may or may not know what they've got. Thank you, Ron, for this story. I hope someone can find where her grave is.
😂😂😂
Great work telling this tale.....throughout all my cemetery ventures in life I've never encountered a sprinkler gauntlet menace!!!.... im diggin in on that fallen airman grave you encountered very interesting
What an incredible story! I'm surprised this hasn't been made into a movie, because it's so dramatic and has all the elements - greed, lust, adventure, history, etc. Maybe someone will option the rights, if available. And, yes, thanks Ron for enduring the sprinklers and the lawn mower sounds!
thanks!! crazy walk!!
Great story Ron! I'm mixed on this one, but leaning more towards they were no more guilty than the ones who drank the wine and lived in the castle. They all disobeyed direct orders but I'm sure ole Eisenhower drank the wine, too!
I’m guessing Eisenhower did not drink that wine. He was trying from the get go to show human decency and self control. Good man
Good to see you made it home safely
ha - this was shot 3 months ago. but ty, I did make it back in one piece.
Ron dodging the sprinklers reminds me of a character on a video game trying to time his jumps and sprint to get to the next level.😄
Love your stories on history it's always interesting on the past and how life was like for them everyone gets greedy on jewelry and wine especially since it's free❤❤❤❤
I was stationed in Frankfurt. So many castles around there! I don't remember if I saw this mentioned castle or not.
She is no more guilty than the others because they all participated. Too bad you couldn't find her grave, but she knows you came. I think your right about the rest of the treasures. RIP Kathleen 💗 💐
I agree
"...no more guilty than..." still means guilty. Right?
I always love watching your video's Ron, they are so interesting.
Where ever those jewels are, they may never be found.
Makes you wonder though if some of the later decendants of the families that had those jewels, if they had sold them, pawned them, or just kept passing them down to younger descendants of their family. It would be intriguing to somehow find out.🤔 A person would spend a lifetime just looking for them though.
Keep yourself safe out there Ron.🙂💟
Heard the weed whippers again ...they must follow you around. Ha ha ha ..
Cant imagine hearing those up here in Detroit , Michigan area for quite awhile. Our big warm up is happening now. +39 degrees. Not complaining after being ftozen last week.!!!
Go DETROIT LIONS 🦁
great story again Ron ..I always look forward to your stories !!! U honestly can write another book and talk about each video and how you and your " team" research these old stories that hardly any of us have ever heard about!!!
You mentioned two Clint Eastwood movies: Kelly's Heroes and The Gauntlet.
Ron, I finished Into The Unknown a few weeks ago. I must say, I'm surprised you are alive! The part where the wolves would freeze like rocks every time you looked had me laughing. I swear I saw the same scene in a cartoon. Its a fabulous book. I'm so glad I read it. There's nothing like playing in the sprinklers! Boo on Edward! A movie needs made about this story. It would be a good one. I don't think that stealing anything is right even in war. Just because everyone else is doing it, are you going to jump off the bridge too?☺
Hey thank you for getting the book I’m glad you liked it.
Watching you battle against the sprinklers, I kept hearing the theme from Mission: Impossible in my head.
Sounds like they can make a good movie on all this!!!!
Hard to say what has happened to the jewelry they got out of there. Since they destroyed it before mailing it out, it quite possibly be other jewelry now. Like you said will never be found. Makes me wonder, with eyebrows raised, some of the inheritance items on the Antique Roadshow. Some of the items they’ve shown came from grandmothers, Aunts….etc. gorgeous pieces that apparently were purchased or had made during that time frame. But are they relatives of these people? Maybe. Wouldn’t that be interesting??!! What a story that would make!! Were they justified in taking it? I’m on the fence with that as you are. Everyone took something home from the war. If it possibly belonged to the Nazis, justification would be (possibly) sticking it to a horrible man for injustices inflicted upon the people. Who really knows? No one still alive I’ll bet. Great story Ron!! This one makes you think a bit. Take care!! ❤️❤️
Wallace Simpson married Edward
We love you Ron 🤣 And the story that you’ve told us thank you you always bring such wonderful stories to us
Fantastic story Ron maybe her resting place should remain uncertain,she’ll R.I.P for sure then,safe travels take care,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
Stealing during war leaves a bad taste . If it doesn’t belong to you leave it alone .
Thank you Ron, for all your hard work in researching this subject. I do so look forward to each episode every week. You deserve
a medal! Stay safe and keep well.
I love your stories and the history behind it.❤
Great one Ron! Thanks for the story and putting up with the sprinklers to finish the story! ❤😊
I feel like if they took a couple of things nobody would notice but they got greedy and stole everything. Great story btw. Got me reading about this on wiki and a couple of newspaper articles
So fascinating. This was such a great video. So much history! Thank you for sharing this.
great story !!! keep em coming!!
Hi Ron. Very interesting story . Disgrace for the military but there can be a lot of that by men too. Where is the treasure.. Thanks for vlogging. ...duck ... Deborah 🇨🇦
What an interesting story. I think they were fairly prosicuted. Its one thing to bring back a momento like a hat or knife etc but jewels thats a bit different. But they say all's fair in Love and War. Sprinkler hopping a new sport. Will it make the Olympics ? Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Really though, stealing is stealing no matter if its jewelry or a hair brush.
Loved you dodging those sprinklers! You’ve definitely been through some obstacles during your cemetery journeys. I also remember you climbing under a fence & leaving your phone behind during a live stream and another time trekking through an overgrown jungle-like cemetery, just to name a couple. Never a dull moment here!
Amazing video Ron. I knew that people bought stuff home but never heard of this story. Like swords, flags etc.
This was such an awesome story! I love WW2 history, especially what went on beyond just the fighting. Keep em coming Ron.👍
This is the first time I’ve heard about this and to be honest I don’t know what to say. Times were different then. Thank you Ron for sharing this with us. I enjoyed it. That monument with the picture of the soldier and the airplane was magnificent. There’s an old saying All is fair in love and war. Something like that I haven’t heard said in a long time.
Thank's for sharing ron...
The jewels didn't belong to the actual nazi's, so I would say they were illegally taken. They were not spoils of war in the true sense. They were personal family items just like the jewels and art that was owned by the Jews and pillaged by the Nazis. Flags, weapons, uniforms and Nazi stamped stuff - yes, legal war loot. Love your videos Ron x
That castle looked beautiful Ron! Also, interesting T-shirt you have on there. Love your videos!
My dad was a bomber pilot. Flew lots of missions over Germany.
What a great story this was! I enjoyed it very much, it was hilarious watching you dodging the sprinklers! See you Sunday night!
Great story! Thanks Ron
Very interesting story!! War is sad on so many levels! Thank you for going through the gauntlet of sprinklers to bring us this!😂 Love your channel!
Always fascinating tales! This one really made me think....and yes giggle too! Just by watching you trying to outthink the sprinklers! 😊 Stay safe!
Hi Ron, Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾. Thanks for uploading this video. Love this one 👍
Looking forward to your next video and take care. 🇲🇾😊😊
Always Enjoy Your Blogs!
Well, in my opinion, like treasures from many other stories, it more than likely will never be recovered. If it does exist, it was hidden in a place that will only be discovered quite by accident. I really do think that whoever hid the treasure, took that secret with them to the grave.
Hi Ron!!! Such an interesting story. Never heard or read about it.
INTERESTING story, Ron!! XXXX 🤗👍❤💞
You have a better track record than my post office Ron! You finish a video through just plain anything. Thanks for sharing another good one.
Ha. Thx!!! 👍
I would assume the stone might be totally covered
yep, good thinking...agree.
Great story thanks ron
Ron I’ve got a story for you to explore.
I grew up in Benton Harbor/St Joseph Mi. There was a huge colony that some called a cult. It was called The House of David City of David. It has a amazing history! My dad and granddad would speak for hours just on the baseball team. They were world famous.
The man who I believe is the leading authority on it is Chris Siriano. I believe he lives in Benton Harbor and as I recall he’s been trying for years to rehabilitate the City of David. The story of this place is so crazy it doesn’t seem real!😂
@yaykelley7771 Awesome, Email it to Ron at facesforgottentoday@gmail.com
My female intuition says she was more than friends.
Edit: Yep….there you have it. Not hard to figure out.
Fascinating story and investigation Ron. Really got me thinking about that spoils of war argument.To me this seemed to be disobeying a direct order. On some level didnt they know destroying the settings to steal the jewels was wrong? Sure they went through a cellar of wine- but this was way beyond. Glad they were caught, but the jewels aren't showing up anytime soon. Thank you for bringing us a thought provoking story❤❤
I live om the other side of the wall there and have several family mermbers there and the people that work there only do the bare minimum and if they dont want you to find somene for some reason they wont help , I enjoy your story time and appreciate all that you bring to light. Thank You.
Actually-they did try. Some commented it is probably buried. I agree.
She's no moe guilty than her higher ups who got away with their gifts because they were not under the same scrutiny
Agree!!
Stealing is always wrong.
Love mystery of the missing jewels great story ❤
Good afternoon Ron and great video and i enjoyed this too.. Mary M H..... Arkansas 😊❤
Amazing story. RIP 😢 😔 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌
When l saw the title, l thought you meant the crown jewels of England, l wondered why I'd never heard about it 😂
Hi Ron. Glad to see you
Theft is theft, and to distroy something so precious is sad beyond belìef. Greed is not a pretty thing.
Hi ron love the channel keep them coming you are so sweet
I need to go to an old building and look for wires sticking out of walls, knowing my luck I'd get electrocuted 😂
Funnily enough I was just watching the full wartime story of this first thing this morning
Love this so much. The gauntlet of sprinklers
Thanks,Ron 🪦
Dodging the sprinklers sounds like fun. I’m sure the jewels are around maybe a lock box in a bank who knows. Maybe buried and recovered. Great story and I’m sure the army did what was right. Thanks Ron ❤️
I always love hearing your stories. The history and the information from your research is always interesting. It is such a mystery about her stone and her not being in the office records. Maybe she took it (the loot) with her. 😉
I so love your stories Ron…
I really enjoyed this story interesting as always
So fascinating!
I couldn't help but imagine the Mission Impossible theme playing in the background while you were dodging the sprinklers.
lol. Love that JK!
Loved the story Ron especially drinking wine and then finding more wine again and again then the jewels. Which the Queen Elizabeth was wearing the strawberry tiara of the Hesse in a picture when I was Google the jewels. The tiara is so beautiful.
I’m not a fan of some people starving and other accumulate unbelievable wealth…I wonder how they did it…usually not with honest work…so my theory here is…that wealthy family may “steal” or “used” people to accumulate those treasures …one of a proverb is:
“stealing from a thief is not a crime”…😜
I’m not a jewellery person…however I’m jealous of those fine wines!😂
This was a great story. The sprinklers dodging was the best
A big hallo from Frankfurt.i live near Kronberg. Never heard about thus Story. So thank you for this Story.😊
I was born in Wiesbaden, my family is from Frankfort!! :-)
Interesting story Ron, thanks for sharing, great narration. I always love how you tell the stories. Take care ,I'm going to try to check this out and see if I can find any info. I'll let you know. I'll send you whatever I can get on her grave.
cool, let me know, ty.
You make the videos you do so interesting.
What a guy. Taking on the sprinklers to bring us an incredible view of interesting stones and story.
What a great story, Ron❣️
I have to say, in my opinion, it is all wrong, from the Germans, English & Americans. The horrible atrocities that were done to the Jewish people alone. I am of German heritage & I have also been ashamed of that time in history.
To me, it is a clear statement of what horrible things humans do to one another.
I hope the stone wasn't removed
Did you take a dive into the sprinklers Ron after the video ended?😅 I know I would have done in that heat lol! Great video once again 👍🏻
Ron, I couldn't help but laugh throughout this sto 2:03 2:04 ry as I watched your complicated and ever changing path through this video! You did very well at the task of telling this wartime story while dodging a barrage of sprinklers ! As for the theft of all these gems, I do think it was wrong and suspect alot of the motivation was simply greed. I'm sure they weren't the only ones that did this type of thing during wartime. The artist in me felt sad, I tried to imagine what type of settings these jewels were in, the intricacy of such work had to be breathtaking. Oh well, its fun to just imagine what everything looked like.
13:28 Omg ❤ rip sir
Why didn’t they just leave those ppl alone…They found it…let them keep it
Ron, I found the obituary, 11/17/1971 Arizona Republic, for her son, R. Burke Nash. Says that he is buried there in St. Francis Cemetery. Says his mother, Mrs. Kathleen Durant of Las Vegas, survives him. Any possibility she could've died in Vegas? I posted his obit on your Facebook page.
I'm leaning towards the spoils of war.
Very interesting
Interesting case. My cemetery. Lots of great stories and interesting people buried there. I think it was stolen against orders. If it was a ring or bracelet that is one thing. I loved the sprinklers. Perfect! Dodging them wile telling a story about fugitive soldiers.
