This video showcases two vintage firearms with compelling backstories: a 1917 Colt 1911 believed to have served with the USMC and brought back from France by a priest, and a BYF 44 P.38 carried by a 5th Armored Division soldier, complete with a custom holster containing wedding bands. It also promotes the creator's Patreon page, "Flak & Fubar" podcast, and Instagram.
This "Walk-in Wednesday" episode features Tom sharing a personal story about his favorite World War II relic: a Nazi Mauser P.38 BYF 44 pistol. The story centers on war hero Kenneth Price, a US Army machine gun operator who landed in Normandy and fought across France and Germany. Price's harrowing experiences included multiple injuries, participation in the Battle of the Bulge under General Patton, and fighting in Berlin, where he acquired the P.38. The video highlights the pistol as a tangible link to a soldier's incredible journey and the broader history of WWII firearms.
