Many of the items here are reproductions. We thought this would be a different way of presenting an example of what the soldier may have carried.

What happened to this series? Why the sudden stop? It's great!
@@MatthewHeraghty could it be they're now having to resort to selling their collections?
@@derrickstorm6976 I was thinking that might be the case, but it was only 3 videos in the series
I love how you do these videos, narrating in character. It's so unique. This should be getting a lot more views.
Yea
It is pretty unique he has good charisma and personality
Needs more recognition
It's very interesting 😂
The tone difference between these videos is truly amazing, you're an amazing actor
Yeah this is great! It’s always hard to determine what personal items to bring when reenacting. I love seeing WWII reenacting content, especially as high quality as this. Keep up the great work!
“Keep that smile pearly white!”
Liked the presentation of the video. Hope to see more like it from you
Thank you
Really great presentation - consistent with the British and German versions. Accents and slang seem about just right for the period! Great job with these videos!
Just watched all your videos. Amazing stuff mate. You nail all the accents and idiosyncrasies of the time. Love it
man his character is on point! the laugh just ties it all together as some freshly graduated boston kid.
Sounds like half-Boston and half-Brooklyn.
I've watched all three WWII soldier's personal kit videos on this channel. The commonalities across the three different kits is not terribly surprising. All three soldiers were facing similar hardships and privation, and had limited carrying capacity on their persons. Even today, a soldier's personal kit would look very similar. I carried a lot of the same stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan. Different wars in different times, of course. But an Infantryman's basic kit has changed very little.
Just found this channel and I'm loving the concept of going through the gear in character. I'm a reenactor too, but my accent needs work.
I like how you keep extra items in your mess kit I'm doing that
In the 1940s, these items were pretty modern comparing to Brtish, German or Soviet ones
I absolutely love how you stay in character
0:48 "Everybody smokes, everybody wants these" Not me...
Yet.
We used to get Charms in the MREs in the 80s.
This is so underrated these should be getting way mor3 attention
You make great videos. I hope you'll pick that channel back and gib us more reviews like this one and others. Also, thanks for making them. They're great time
Thank you for making this
Thanks for watching
I always wondered what they kept in their packs. Thanks for the well done info! Please keep making more of these.
F'n beautiful example mate. This is the best video on YT.
I’m telling Uncle Sam about the chocolate!😅😂
'And British Money, however that works.' It's really simple, Mate. 240 pence to a pound, also called a sovereign. 20 Bob (shillings) to a pound. A Bob is 12 pence. 24 pence is a 2 Bob Bob bit, 30 pence is half a crown, also called a half dollar. 60 pence, is 5 shillings, also called crown or a dollar. Ten shillings is 120 pence, and is called a half sovereign. Half a shilling (six-pense) is called a tanner, 3 pence is a joey, one pence is a copper, half a penny is a Ha'penny, and 1/4 penny is a farthing. If you are the upstairs type, you use a Gentleman's pound, which is 21 shillings (256 pence).
Nice!😊
Please do more videos please. I love them and I think you should do more.
I’m hearing some Walken in here!🪖🇺🇸😎
hold the phone how the hell would a soldier in the 369th go to paris if the 369th was in the pacific ha ha ha just busting chops great video though love it
Very on point characterization! I really enjoyed this one, you sound like Packie from GTA lol. Cheers!
dude these are awesome!
I could talk to this guy about ww2 forever
A camera and film. A wallet with show tickets. A sewing kit he hasn't used, and given the US supply chain a replacement shirt or trousers shouldn't be hard to get. Real handy stuff, huh? What about carrying spare socks? Foot powder? What about a mention of the entrenching tool? A blanket, pancho, or shelter half? The German kit seemed more practical, with mainly a mess kit, shaving kit, spare socks, and spare iron ration.
That was awesome! I would do a lot to have old Luckies and Camels. Legendary sh.t
Very cool love seeing this pieces of History
Your nice voice man warm cheerenup thank you
It’s been two years please uploaded again❤
These videos are great.
Well portrayed, this was good.
I love how you speak like you where in the war
Holly love it man!
1:31 - 1:37 christopher walkin 😂
It's interesting to see someone taking the German flag as a souvenir. I didn't think that anyone took flags as souvenirs, except the Japanese Rising Sun.
Many were taken,I've seen some.
Make a Korean war one and Vietnam War please also great video
ON SALE!
How did u get these items?
I was wondering. Can you make an airborne one for this?
Well done buddy
Well done.
I'm a collector of WW2 items, are these on sale?
What model of the camera and the name?
you forgot the german language guide it helped the american soldiers in ww2 to speak to the germans i reckon all of the soldiers had one i’m not sure but some soldiers had one
Where do you get that vintage food?
My kids love to play soldier too.
How come the comments for the German video were turned off?
I think I met you in a pizza place about a month ago. I was wearing a green uniform like a vietnam war one
Wow !
MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!
Got brass knuckles?
No prophylactics?
Where’s the lifted Pervitin?
Excellent & Funny [the latter half of being a soldier at war] Girlfriend's photo? The era hair & clothing a must! The Brooklyn accent, like every other guy in the military, according to Hollywood !
Camera: "If I make it to paris-" 😅
Letter: "-my newborn son-" 😮
Flag: "-the sniper opened up on us-" ...
Damn, clicked for history, got a great performance to boot.
This is awesome. I like the way it was done. But is far from packing light. That thing is packed! Lol
Are you from Bushwick? Only guy's from Bushwick talk like that.
No way those Hershey bars make it to France un eaten 😂
I got the British Wash Roll.
This kit looks awkward and heavy compared to the British. Even the way it opens up instead of just being a bag looks bad. The shovel is cool though, did every GI have one?
That's an entrenching tool
Nice set up, but not the razor. I suggest a pre-war or US issue Gillette period Tech, on Ebay, even a 60's Tech would look more period authentic.
Why would soldiers at the front carry civilian id? If there captured thell have a problem
Swell.
I miss the WW2 german equipment video, can you unprivate it
Fr👍
No Actual rations?
What of german ww2 flag?
Wonder what happened to these two?
It's always the same,you really enjoy and appreciate someones work making great vids,then ,💥 they disappear.
Well, I hope they fare well.
Next video Japanese WW2 Soldier's Personal Items
this is amazing lol
You got no black crackle?
A possible reason is that soldiers tend to keep lighters in their pockets. (Not to be RUDE.) He probably didn't have one on hand to show.
@@alexfogg381 ah thanks. I did not know that
Any Marine will tell you, get rid of the CHARMS! lol
i need a max win
Never understand why folk who do these otherwise excellent videos insist on holding the camera in one hand thus making holding and showing the the items awkward.
Get a camera mount - !
Lucky strike is best
Luckies are gross, Camels where it’s at. No contest.
ASN starting with a 6? There has to be a story....
After about 10 minutes on Google I've come up with a percentage of Americans that would have that accent. It's way less than 1% .
It's in the Daniel Day Lewis territory at least 😂
Ww1 american please
What is the German flag doing there ?
It is meant to be a souvenir taken by said " American G.I." the practice of taking souvenirs was common during ww2, even my grandfather brought a few things home from the Pacific during his time in the US Navy during ww2. NO Samurai swords.
what? no latrine tickets? always gotta have some toilet paper with you. keep it nice and dry in your mess kit.
Repo
yeah ,,Dats louie gianelli from da bronx in new yawk,he was at anzio, a mug among mugs
howould I know? dated his sista angie,,heheheheh
Where condoms?
Im not sure what to think of this as a Veteran myself of multiple tours of Iraq. I find reenactors to be distasteful.
Hershey's. Yuck, tastes like puke
OMG.... I'm so disturbed and I'll need therapy and a hug after seeing, oh-the-horror, a German flag!
So good
