Do you know your customers? Step right up!

Whether you are going to the MAX Show in Pennsylvania, the First Florida Fall Rally in Florida, Camp Plymouth in California, or the Great American Jeep Rally in Missouri, there is one thing they all have in common: The customers. And while each show and aspect of our hobby have their own unique characteristics, the people who come to shop at relic and military vehicle shows tend to be the same, the world over. The key to success as a vendor is to recognize the specific customer types and learn how to interact with each. 5 BASIC CUSTOMER CATEGORIES I bet each of you has at least one good customer story. I have tried to categorize my stories into a few specifc customer types. This wasn’t done scientifically, though. These observations are…

Online too: www.militarytrader.com Casemate Publishers, Havertown, Pa. 2019, Hardback, 624 pages, $200, Orders from www.casematepublishers.com Deutsche Luftwaffe is a large and impressive compendium, laid out with skill and reflecting enormous expertise on dozens of related topics. Far from just a catalogue treatment like some references, this one shows a museum curator’s sensibilities. Authors Gustavo Cano and Santiago Guillen not only show but tell. The explanations permit a grasp of the historical context in which these relics were produced – the Zeitgeist. The pair marshaled large quantities of aviator clothing, data and photos on virtually every facet of the many categories and subthemes of LW attire and gear. Hundreds of items are separately illustrated and their purpose well assessed. An excellent book introduction places the service’s roles within the larger Wehrmacht frame; as well,…

LUFTWAFFE AND TOP BILLING

When it comes to desirability in collector circles, the Luftwaffe (LW) may take top billing. Which is interesting, for Kriegsmarine material is scarcer, Waffen-SS both rare and notorious. Heer mementos are lots more plentiful, but too often deemed “common” in many collectors’ eyes. (Some exceptions being Grossdeutschland cuff titles, Feldgendermerie tunics, Panzer and assault gun wraps and “Normandy” camo helmets.) Actually, of course, each uniformed service boasted elite units – army mountain troops, navy scuba divers, sharpshooters, army combat engineers, and special forces like the Army’s Brandenburgers. Members of these select groups often earned praise and honors. Which explains why militaria enthusiasts favor combat versus non-combatant units. Warriors’ uniforms, decorations and gear all speak to personal courage The German Air Force seems especially celebrated, even in popular culture, and more “colorful.” I…

Mein Kampf An Outline Of Evil

As a decorated combatant in Imperial Germany’s defeat in World War I, Adolf Hitler’s hatred for his own government grew daily following the war. He blamed inept leadership for his adopted country’s harrowing loss of life, shameful capitulation and immense national debt levied by the occupying Western nations. With the turmoil that followed caused by the constant political infighting during the Weimar Republic, Communists, Social Democrats and other radical groups made Hitler’s list of “enemies of the people”. His dreams of a united German “Aryan Volk”, culled of those he felt inferior, living in a modern agricultural paradise spread out into areas of the Slovak East, caused young Hitler to envision himself in a constant Darwinian struggle for a leadership role. These growing ideals were expressed often in the speeches…

Exploring El Alamein

From the rocky, weathered fighting positions, facing to the northeast, we had excellent fields of fire and nearly unlimited observation of the battlefield. All was quiet now, as it had been for 51 years, following the most critical battle in the North African campaign of World War II. Here, at 21:40 on Oct. 23, 1942, Lt. General Bernard L. Montgomery, commander of the British Eighth Army, launched his much-anticipated offensive, with an intensive artillery barrage along the entire front. The Battle of El Alamein had begun. And traces remain today. On a hot summer day in July 1993, I was exploring the defensive positions of the German forces located in the southern sector of the Axis positions. At the time of my visit to El Alamein, I was serving as Commander…

THE BATTLE PLAN

What do you mean it doesn’t shoot?

It is often hard for non-collectors to understand the motivation that many of us have for old historic items. Few can appreciate why we might “need” a uniform, a helmet, a dagger or a medal. And nothing gets strange looks like a deactivated firearm – sometimes even from firearms collectors. I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve heard non-collectors look bewildered when I explain that a particular weapon has been rendered inoperable. “You mean it doesn’t shoot?” is a question that I’ve been asked quite a lot. That is just the first of typically three questions, which then include “what did it cost,” and of course, “why would someone would pay that much for a gun that can’t fire?” The most surprising part for non-collectors is that anyone would actually…
