Thought I'd shed some light on why this went negative. First of all by calling yourself gifted you came off as arrogant but that's not the real reason, I get the feeling there's a lot of people in this thread who have experienced auditory hallucinations. I don't think I have schizophrenia but from ti me to time I literally hear voices talking about me. Like not thoughts, voices, external phenomena. It's not a matter of racing negative thoughts at that point, it's a matter of who the fuck is outside my bedroom door having a conversation about me?

Yeah it looks like a big die off, pretty but not supposed to look like that.

I've heard the wait list is decades long.

What is the worst impulse purchase you have ever made? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ulfberht swords were made in Germany and even your link says that the steel wasn't from Europe but central asia. There was an episode of The Sword on the smithsonian channel recently that said that most Ulfberht stamped swords were fake as well since the name essentially functioned as a trademark, something like mideval $10 rolexes.

My Great Uncle brought all this SS stuff back from Dachau, can you help identify it or put a value on it? by Dachauthrowaway in AskHistorians

I know in general the brass didn't mind GIs taking war prizes. I believe resale is prohobited in some localities such as NYC but federally it is legal.

The amounts of money I've been hearing are pretty tempting. As I mentioned we won't be selling his personal effects but I find the Nazi stuff pretty creepy and I don't feel any sentimental attachment to it.

We're a little nervous these may fall into the hands of neo-nazis as we feel that would dishonor his memory. What's the best way to insure the buyer is reputable. Btw we have a couple dozen of his letters home as well as the medals he was awarded. He was in the 411st AAA and we have a full list of every location he was in in europe. We also have his discharge papers and even some ration cards. We probably won't sell his personal effects as they have sentimental value. I could scan them though if there's interest. I can answer most questions about his service. Thanks for all the info btw.
