History and collecting WW2 Memorabilia are very much in demand with History Re-enactors, Collectors of militaria collectables and History Enthusiasts for a number of reasons varying from nostalgia to scientific interest.What drew people to establishing a collection of knives, or having a very extensive collection of Luftwaffe combat awards?
As one collector puts it: "I mostly collect German belt buckles as I was about 11 or 12 years old and walked into an Army surplus store. They had an early Army pebbled example with belt for $25!! I wanted to buy it only to raise eyebrows and make people notice (The rebel inside me wanted to piss people off with the swastika). That one buckle led to two and three and a hundred and now I'm almost at 200! It never stops. That is really my first taste of collecting WWii German militaria. That said, I was always interested in WW2 because my grand-father was a vet. So it's a combination of a lot of things that have led me to where I am!"
Who are these Collectors of Historic Artefacts such as Nazi militaria?
These are mostly History Enthusiasts, those who live, breath and speak history out of scientific interest or have special nostalgic reasons in connection with certain wartime periods and corresponding artefacts.
As this collector relates: "I got a photo album of a sailor who was on a marine flak battery in Norway around the time of the Narvik Campaign, He later served on the Paul Jackobi. The photo album has some wonderful shots of the boat, some of the crew, training station, and some great general shots. So I began forming a collection of Kriegsmarine items. I have my battle flag, high seas fleet badge, iron cross 1st and 2nd class. Kriegsmarine Tally cap band. I also purchased a Narvik KM shield which spawned my love for the Campaign shields which I just completed my collection."
