Feel free to watch any of my other videos :)
thank you for the RAF pilot story. that really puts a human element to your adventures.
Glad you watched and thanks Joseph
Taking the time to tell the story behind the buttons really made this one worth watching.
Thanks for watching Nederlander
Greetings from Texas. Your finds are part of the micro workings that get over looked in most videos, yes it's exciting to find the helmets, guns and bayonets but your finds are the internal workings that make the bigger things work and how that excites you is a very good thing. keep up the great work. PS. when you do get enough part to build a plane I get second ride lol.
No proble TEx , will put you in a good seat :) Thanks
WOW All of your videos are a hugely interesting contribution to history!Way better than many TV shows.You could _ should your have your own show.I sure love your show.Please keep up your great works.Many Enjoys.Thanks!
A poignant find and thank you for your patient research. This is all the more touching today (11th Nov) as it is Remembrance Day and we pay our respects to all those who died on all sides. Rest in peace brave men and women.
we 2 history hunter you may not know but British buttons have in some a compass. for escape it comes in two pieces so yours may have been one such button 💪🐻🐗🐺🐾👌👍

Wow pretty astounding button finds. Sadly the history behind the buttons shows the horrors of war.
I'm sure you'll treasure them with reverence and respect. On the bright side you almost have enough plane parts to rebuild an aircraft ! 😄 I want the first ride !
Thanks for taking us along and the large amounts of time you spend to share this with us ! It is much appreciated. That's it ok cool see ya !
Thank You for that and greeting Your way.
As an ex RAF Cpl injured and disabled in Iraq back in 2005, I cannot thank you enough for your research and appreciation of what these young men went through and telling their story.
To have found the buttons is a story on its own, but you took the effort to look into it, discover why they where there and tell us about it.
It may have been many years ago now, but they where men just like you and I who where treated terribly.
Per Ardua Ad Astra sleep well my brothers.
Thank you
To piece together the story behind the buttons must have taken a lot of patience and determination on your part. Well done!
It sure did. Thanks for watching Paul
What a fantastic story behind the RAF buttons. Thank you for your dedication to finding the details of the events behind your finds.
Many thanks and i agree , very interesting story it is. Thanks
Some amazing small finds! What some people just see as rubbish (like the button back) can tell us an amazing story, yet another reason I love your videos. We get to hear stories that would otherwise go untold and forgotten. Amazing work as always WW2HH! :)
Glad you watched and thanks.
We must never forget!
I like that you have a game plan before you get to the location. The tablet box is a nice unusual find. You don’t think about these items when talking about the soldiers equipment. It’s amazing the history that the button can tell you. A lot of research you did on that one. A lot of great items found at this location.
Yes love to find small details like that and appreciate you taking time to comment and watch SO MANY of our adventures :)
I knew what that cap was. Your videos are paying off for me. I’ve noticed you’ve found many of the tablets containers. Did the soldiers ever have to use them. What a very special piece of history you told us about the prisoners of war. That’s the stories that need to be told. I saw a documentary about the liberation of concentration camps were the British made the Germans that were there gather up the prisoners that died from typhus and bury them. They would not allow the Germans to use gloves or mask. Many of the Germans died after being exposed to typhus. I don’t care if it’s a nut, bolt or a toothpick. I find all your items fascinating. It’s all history.
yes the soldiers did leave a ton of different tablet containers etc. Always finding them out there. Appreciated Anthony and greetings from us.
Love the format! Getting up, getting the equipment ready, the travel!! Feels like we're on the journey with you!
Wow, if you go on like that, you could exchange parts with some museums, like Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin, which has a huge storage of WW2 aircraft parts. Great findings, great video. It is always a pleasure to watch them.
Thanks Polyboy
Really liked the introduction! Would each German plane only have a single oxygen bottle? How many minutes of O2 did they provide? Was the RAF plane a bomber like a Halifax, Stirling or Mosquito? RIP to the RAF crew. Hitler issued many orders to kill captured air crews. Though the Luftwaffe was favored by the Allied POW's because they treated said crews as professionals and with honor and respect.

bottle could be for life raft or for pilots , couldnt tell for sure. Crew came from special mission Aircraft. Thanks for watching. and greetings
awesome finds..my Opa was Gõrings bodyguard from 1935 too 1936..i have a few cool things from him..
WW2HistoryHunter
If you know precisely the story of the murdered allied pilots you must know the identities of them. Maybe you should endeavour to find any living relatives and return their property to them

That location has a lot to offer. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you for the work you put into obtaining the historical information and explaining the background with the WWII relics you manage to find. Please continue. Thank you again
Will do Our best and thanks Ted
Awesome story
You Rock
Once again thanks for taking us along with you
👍🏻👏🏻😀
Thanks Peter
dear history hunter, I really enjoyed this particular video. I thought the way you brought the story of the pilots full circle from just a few buttons was brilliant. Thank you for your time and effort in bringing this era to life for the younger generations who are history enthusiasts as well as explorers.
Appreciate it Vince
Another Outstanding video and presentation like always. Great discoveries.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for telling the story of the RAF crew, they and many others should never be forgotten.
Really enjoying all the effort you are putting into editing. You have improved the production quality 10 fold. Thanks for the adventure!
Thank You.
The cast iron lid you found is from a pot bellied heating stove. Probably from one of the repair shops or billet huts. Blessed relief for the engineers on a cold wintry day. I can see them now with their hands wrapped around steaming mugs of what passed for coffee. great video my friend.
cool . Thanks for watching
Some very nice finds....and the story about the British Crews, the buttons and the explanation of the area...one of those untold stories we may have never found out about!! Very nice indeed and thank you for taking us along.
Always happy to see you
Interesting detective work regarding those RAF buttons you found.
What a place for WW2 Luftwaffe artifacts. Yes, the Milchkappe was quite a find and the pilot's O2 canister from previous explore. The place was full of artifacts including the often present German barbed wire. That area sounds close to a busy highway/roadway. Thank you for the personal touch in relation to the British RAF buttons. We mustn't forget the human factors. Thank you for your hard work. Oh and yes that one pumpkin did look like a cat.
Thank you su much Laura for being here.
I am ex RAF groundcrew aircraft engineer. We all heard about what was done to many aircrew in WW2 so sad, they were not treated kindly. Captured German crews were never treated like this. Our buttons on our tunics were just like these.
There you go and thanks for being here my friend.
Small findings, big stories, I just love it! great story!
So glad you liked it Edward and greeting Your way.
Thanks for working on this for so many years. Researching the operation given by one of your commenters I've read the names of those executed, assuming that is indeed this mission. One of them lied about their age to serve and had just turned 18.
Thanks again for watching.
I am most impressed with you taking the time to answer the viewers comments. that says volumes about you.
great video. thumbs up given and I subscribed.
If People take time to watch and comment i feel i have to take the time to respond. Thanks Bob and greeting Your way. WW2HH
another fine video, it's nice when you explain the circumstances around the find
Greetings from Scotland, interesting pieces you've found there. I appreciate the explanation about the history of that button piece, it really makes the viewer understand how significant that little button was when they know the story behind it and what the brave men who wore them went through! I've been hooked on your channel since I stumbled on it a few days ago, keep up the great work !
I love all your videos but these older videos are great too ! All of your videos are great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you like them!
Love the new start adds a nice element of personality to your videos... keep up the good work
Thanks man.
I'm from the UK and thanks for showing the raf crew buttons rip boys
Gone but not forgotten...reality coming into focus...one man at time. Some day write a book about these adventures,In spite of being an avid reader of this time frame,there is still much to learn. These secrets must come to light better late than never. I applaud your dedication,thank you...november 11,2016.
Huggs,silky
i would like to Write a book one day yes. Thanks for taking interet Silky and Greetings. WW2HH
Sad story about the buttons 😢. You found lots of cool machine parts. Thanks for sharing. 💖
You are so welcome
While I am not familiar with lufwaffe parts. The plate with the recessed piece looks like a recessed tie down part for a plane, or truck bed. I have seen these put into concrete as well on flight lines in the modern US army and most of this kind of tech hasn't changed a lot over the years.
could be that. Thanks my friend for taking time to comment and watch.
As always, a fantastic video and another learning experience (for me anyhow). After 20 years in the U.S. Navy, I recognize some of the basic hardware. Just for information sake, the holes in the various nuts and bolts are for what we on this side of the pond call "safety wire" and was used to prevent the hardware from loosenng up. Thanks again for all of your hard work in researching, finding, and presenting these videos. I, personally, very much appreciate it.
All my pleasure and appreciate you taking time to watch. WW2HHH
You're knowledge of things makes it very interesting.I love military,the stories and all aspects.Im taking of an Alzheimer's patient whose name is Steven Palfey.Seeing his room I knew he was military and then I googled his name and a pic of him showed with a very interesting story of him one night in combat.I had chills after that and I was honored to be taking care of him...It's just sad to live such an interesting good life and then end up with Alzheimers...Thanks for the videos
Thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching
Great research and story about the RAF pilots , but to have buttons that were once on their uniform is Amazing ! Great find my friend ! Dirt Hawk !!
Glad you watched DirtHawk and Greetings to you.
Just had to mention that you didn't finish your blueberries HH. Was the tablet Losantine to treat skin exposure to poison gases? Thank you for taking the time to track down the story connected with the British RAF uniform buttons. It draws some comfort knowing that their bodies were retrieved and that they were given a proper burial. Unfortunately, many unnecessary losses of life on all sides of war involved.
yes Losantine they are. Appreciate you watching these Laura :)
Wow...what a story, thanks for putting the time in and investigating it.
My pleasure. Thanks
Incredible story, sir. The time and effort you put into research paid off immensely. Bravo to you! I loved the intro as well. It reminded me of the old WW2 movies. "Gentlemen, this is your target." lol! Thank you so much for sharing.
GL & HH, my friend.
Brian
You've again done an excellent job. Thanks for respecting our English RAF pilots and their history.
I am always shocked at how the Gestapo and Germans in general treated our soldiers. Again and again I hear, 'but it was war'...... and yes I understand but there were conventions. I also hear that the Allies bombed the German cities, Hamburg, Dresden Leipzig Berlin etc and that none of the Allies were held responsible! Then I tell the same people, do you know who did the very first one thousand aircraft raid on a city????? They look at me as if I were an idiot and reply, the Allies. You see I answer it was actually the Germans and their Luftwaffe bombing Only civilians in London, Coventry and Birmingham. Thereafter they hit the airfields and then the factories and then again the civilians. 600 RAF aircraft againt 1200-1500 Luftwaffe aircraft and this was before we Brits had any Allies fighting along side us. Poles, Czech and then the Commonwealth pilots helped to defend British civilians. It very nearly ended in a catastrophe for us.
Thanks for watching and for commenting.
Great story good research on your part. eventually you will have enough parts to build the whole plane. :)
Who knows , i might fly around in it soon :) Thanks
You are getting your research into the vids. Outstanding!
I was in the USAF as an Aircrew Life Support Specialist. The Care of pilots equipment was one of my duties.The air bottle you found looks very similar to a high altitude bailout or ejection air bottle. The bottle is used for surviving after separating from the aircraft. above 15,000 ft. It is too small for extended use at altitude.. One other thought, it could be a life raft CO-2 cartridge / bottle. Just thinking.
It could be for sure for a live boat. Thanks for sharing and for watching. WW2HH
Very Nice to See The Start of Your Day at Home. Thanks so Much for Sharing all this Wonderfull History.
Thanks Dan
Thank you for the explanation about the buttons. That was something I didn’t know.
No worries!
The story about the buttons is great. keep up the great work.
Thanks Jon
Very nice finds and awesome job cleaning them up
So glad you liked it. Thanks
Awesome how you put together the story of those soldiers piece by piece button by button really...thanks a lot for that and I hope you keep on doing your videos
Will do and thanks.
I realy like all Your stories About the items you Find..thanks again.
The small stories are a part of the big Picture i think. Thanks again for kind Words and for watching Dinie. WW2HH
Fascinating perspective on the RAF buttons.
small details can og a long way. Thanks for watching.
Loved your graphic of the crashed RAF aircraft. Thank you for more history
My pleasure and thanks,
Your dedication to research, and presentation of history are inspiring my friend.
That is greatly appreciated and we shall soldier on :)
Wow, fantastic story, great investigating. A forgotten story about some brave young men who died disgracefully but you have honoured them. Well done. ( I do accept that there were brave young men on all sides and bad things done by good people for the wrong reasons)
Thanks Lewis
Just discovered your channel, all I can say AWESOME!!!, oh and the fact I'm jealous but maybe someday I can visit and search in your part of the world. Keep up the great work and the history lessons are greatly appreciated. If you ever make it to Texas there's a whole different kind of history hunting here. L8r and keep making finding fun.
Your gonna be able to rebuild the entire plane at this rate ! lol thanks for sharing :)
who knows :) thanks
Your videos are great ! Thanks for your hard work . RIP RAF guys .
Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.
Very nice !! Good story ! Nice Renault megane ;-) .
Thanks for watching.

Thank You Carl
Great video-----I love the story of the RAF crew.....buttons were beautiful....as always thanks for taking me along. 11NOVEMBER is Veterans Day in U.S........ as a Navy veteran WWll really interests me...thanks my friend
@ww2historyhunter it is always amazing how the smallest items have the biggest stories.
just what i think when i do this. Some of the most interesting Objects are just that , tiny in size but HUGE in history. Thanks Ann
Thank you for taking us on another great adventure, and the story brings real life events to make these finds priceless. Lest we forget the cost of the past, this is a sobering reminder that what we enjoy now had a high cost indeed.
yes ,a ll war have high cost for sure. Thanks for watching.
Thanks you for your work on this recent dig. Was difficult to hear the story but that indeed is War, appreciate you putting that explanation together. Best wishes.
Thanks Arc.
Thank you for explaining your find and the research of the story. War is a tragic thing in our world and many people lose their life. It is a sad part of it and to explain what happened and put it all together. I am enjoying watching your video's immensely. Amazing and interesting always.
Thanks and appreciate Your kind Words.
Thanks again for another great video Mr. HistoryHunter Supreme. Have a very Merry Christmas with your family.!
Great Chevy and thanks
It's sad that that so many German and British solders were executed. Both sides did unthinkable things. Great video
Very interesting story on those RAF men. Sad really. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing...if those buttons could talk. really interesting history on them
it sure is. Thanks Jhon
If you have not done so already, it would be a good idea to return the buttons to the RAF. Well done on your research.
Thanks for watching.
11th November...Armistice Day, the day we remember, (98 years to the day, since the end of the First World War)...so especially poignant today...
Thank You
Dave
Thanks my friend.
hi, was great to see the buttons put into context, fascinating, thank-you.
My pleasure and thank You.
fantastic story about the buttons thank you
for sharing
Thanks Bob
very cool edition! Kudos Sr.
A great video, opening the doors of history, shedding light on the past. Good work. Thanks.
Thanks Skycom
Thank you for sharing that story. Very interesting indeed.
All my pleasure Brian
Just watched this , one of your best. Very good research very good job.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great & sad story from a small find. Very good research as well.
Thanks Joe
Well documented and good finds and great video with all important details that we need to hear. Another great documentary from a different kind of "school" thanks for sharing and keep the good work going!
will do my best and thanks for watching.
Great video, a few questions: What was their mission?..They were not just a bomber crew if Hitler himself intervened, they would just have been shot. Why do you suppose they wasted the time and gasoline to transport them to the beach to execute them?
They crashed on a impotant mission and therefore high command gave the order to state an example. Thanks
Given the frequency of Hitler's irrationality. It's not that much of a stretch to imagine that the air crew was of nominal importance overall. The point was in the message that was intended by the execution. Also, to be fair, allied air crews were interrogated at every possible opportunity due to the vast quantities of intelligence that these crews were privy to in mission planning and execution. The motivation to this particular mystery could likely be determined from the time frame of the crash. Particularly with respect to the technological status of both sides at the time and the level of understanding of allied capabilities by the Germans at the time of the crash. Identifying the time frame could also explain the expenditure of resources for this event. As there would have been a period in the early stages in the war where the German units would not be as concerned with the gasoline consumption. Regardless, wonderful finds, incredible history.
Appears I am addicted to your channel now that I've happened across it ;)
One concern which occurs to me: I do hope that you are documenting the GPS position, at least, of what you find, in the case that it turns out to be something of historical significance which might lend answers insofar as what happened where and to whom during specific battles. One thing I do know as a geologist and paleontologist is that you must always document an ancient find in situ as best as possible before you move anything away. Most of what you find appears to be scraps and pieces but...you never know.
If you ever find anything MP related toward the eastern front, I'd love to see that! My Great Grandfather was in the German military police in the war, from 1941 to 1945 - he was an Estonian who fled with my family from their homeland, and they went to Germany where he was required to join the military and serve. I do know he went at some point to Ukraine but also other places - I'd love to see pieces from those areas sometime!
Who knows? Maybe one day you'll happen across something he left behind somewhere. If you see anything with the name Lätt on it, you might've found something of his ;) He did after all get shot a few times and had to leave things behind in the field.
will remember that and appreciate you taking time to comment and watch. Greetings from us :)
Good video once again! Love to see these little pieces of history being dug up!
Appreciated Elmo
As a casual history buff, particularly WWII history, I enjoy watching videos related to that time period. I also have had an interest in the metal detecting hobby. But I never had the extra money to get a metal detector. Always been fascinated with finding old things. Then I stumbled upon your channel. My goodness. I'm addicted. Great job. I have a couple of questions.
First, I've seen some other "related channels" that show hobbyist that go searching and have come across human remains. I was disturbed with how little respect they show for the dead. Have you ever come across human remains and what would you do if you did?
Second, have you given any significant finds to museums?
Third, what is the best way to get into the hobby of metal detecting?
Thanks in advance!
Well Sam we do find all kinds of Things out there and many of my items found are given away in some shape or form. Get a second hand cheap MD machine , a pin pointer and off you og. That is how i started. Thanks and Greetings from us.
Beautiful aircraft parts finds! I also really liked the story about the British RAF buttons, just amazing. Love it and keep up the good work!
Thank You MArtin
What an amazing story. Incredible you found those buttons!
They truly are. Thanks
Holy Madonna you found alot of aircraft relics.
