These should be in a museum, not a pawn shop.

Rick: "The plans are no longer secret, and they're based on dated equipment and tactics. The best I can do is..."

Commander in Chief: "We need 160, 000 men for operation overlord"
Rick: "best I can do is 500 and a few dogs and I'm taking a big risk here"

My papa was the artist who drew this map Calvin Hall. He was also a paratrooper in the 82nd and jumped behind enemy lines on D-day. I wish I could get this from this man or at least talk to him. Pretty awesome to see this!

[rosiefausto]

I hate when people sell the stuff their grandparents left them

[dbodooley]

This show is so cool. Who cares if it’s staged. What show isn’t!? You learn things about history on this show that are important to know. I love it.

[MrGogo]

I have the pre reports of Mr. Brown planning to get along famously.

[bakaneko]

The beard of knowledge NEEDS his own show!

[ChuckKeough]

Seems like they should wear gloves to keep dirt and oil off those documents.

My grandpa died that day while carrying a fellow soldier to safety.

[maxlu]

I would’ve sold it to the WWII museum in New Orleans. They would’ve paid top dollar for that

[eljefe]

Literally one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

[unclesmallz]

My girlfriend's grandfather was driving the very first tank to make the beach on D-Day and the man LIVED, how you going to be the 1st tank and not be taken out! It blew my mind when I heard the story. He is still alive at the age of 93

[thelastjohnwayne]

They are priceless and should be in a museum

[delduvall]

This show is just one big history lesson, history everybody knows too

[JAF]

"These are important and rare historical documents that is of real value to us as Americans, let me give you $20 for it cuz you know I gotta frame it"

[ryangleason]

Their faces when the guy said they’re from before the battle

[JustAGuyProduction]

I call it a book. Rebecca should have been called in.

[zediahtimmons]

I love how a majority of these are handed down from family

[jennamcbean]

It really made me upset that such an important piece of history was gifted to the seller by his grandpa and he chose to sell it.... just hearing the story made me think that these papers and plans were quite important to his grandpa and he wanted him to keep it to educate others
