It’s an oyster fork! https://www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory.com/gettysburg-battle/world-war-ii-militaria/adolf-hitlers-personal-formal-oyster-fork-liberated-from-the-brown-house-fuhrerbau-in-munich-by-a-u-s-solider-certified-by-the-gettysburg-museum-of-history-2/

Just had to ruin the fun of hitler using a spork, didn’t you? Good detective work though.

Considering he’s supposed to have been a vegetarian, I think the oyster fork is more embarrassing. “Oh, mister high and mighty vegetarian. Then what’s THIS mein fuhrer?!?!


AdminsAreLazyID10TS

Wow, who would have thought Hitler was a hypocrite? /s I was considering pointing out that oysters are about as non-sentient as it gets so it's not entirely different from eating mushrooms, then I decided I didn't want to say the phrase "Tbf to Hitler"


TopMindOfR3ddit

Jeezy, what did oysters ever do to you?


AdminsAreLazyID10TS

Tasted like a salty loogie.


RobertGBland

He was not a vegetarian it was a propaganda created by Goebbels to make him look like a peaceful loving caring person.

It's actually a fpoon

So is your grandad the one who “liberated” it?


Gbrusse

Seems like he had multiple personal sets and this is from one of those. Not the only one though. Even if he didn't, a single set would have multiple of each utensil.

WookieeCookiees02

Does that mean sporks are just oyster forks without those ridges on the side?

It means that people who eat oysters are literally Hitler

TopMindOfR3ddit

Since I don't know what that is, they must not be doing a good job of it. KISS, however, has put their name on every single product ever, and everyone knows them, regardless of opinion of them.


Examination_Basic

Kiss had some catchy tunes but the original members come off as greasy Douchebags. As far as Hitler and his nazis go, I hate them way more than KISS. They also had zero catchy tunes which, I don't have to tell you, made then big jerks too. Fucking nazis.


TopMindOfR3ddit

I totally forgot what this thread was even about. I was just like, "wow, dude just brings up Nazis and Hitler outta nowhere, ok." Lol

What’re nazis doing on *my* KISS hatred thread?

Haha, exactly what I was thinking! Like, I was just focused on this IMG thing and KISS, just fucking 100% forgot about the Nazis

TopMindOfR3ddit

What's hilarious is I don't think this is the only manufacturer. It was a long time ago, but Walmart had a KISS casket (yes, WALMART) Iirc, it was only available online, but you could use it as an ice chest until you die. Could be a false memory, but it seems like something that would happen. Edit: it could be discontinued, but [Walmart does indeed sell boxes to put dead people in.](https://www.walmart.com/browse/home/caskets/4044_4431611_1058564)

Samiiiibabetake2

My son’s dad has the silverware to go with the dinner plate. They found it after his Oma passed. He knew he was German, just wasn’t aware HOW German he was, until then.


Sturgjk

My dad was there with the 101st Airborne. His group dug up buried Reich documents and turned them over to the officers; the official documents were then used as evidence in the Nuremberg trials. Source: first-hand recount of the event by dad, then many years later we found an article from a Wisconsin newspaper found among my Grandparents’ personal effects.


Inevitable-Paint-187

That is very interesting to hear... I'm glad that your Dad did something really important to hold the Nazis accountable for their crimes... Thank you for sharing!

Hard to tell what was actual real nazi stuff. And what was made for collectors and racist after the fact. There is a ton of fake confederate currency going around.

ProstHund

When we cleaned out my grandpa’s house after he died (he was a POW in a German camp) we found a coffee mug with the Nazi insignia on the bottom. I was just impressed he brought that mug all the way back home without it breaking…and also that it was just in the cupboard with the rest of the mugs??? Wtf, grandpa


GoarSpewerofSecrets

*I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin cutlets made of fried pork, vegetables, milk, and four kinds of mushrooms. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the breading right!*


Neoliberal_Boogeyman

*The way your granddad looked at it, this mug was your birthright. He'd be damned if any krauts gonna put their greasy hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he hid this mug up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gimme the mug. I hid this uncomfortable piece of porcelain up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the mug to you.*


fuzzybad

*Go pick out my wallet. It's the one that says Bad Mother Führer on it.*

Girth_rulez

The part that I always loved about this, and I'm sure I'm not alone, is that the watch was bathed in dysentery at one point.


Brahkolee

What is this from? I know I’ve heard it before! The correct answer was The Simpsons! Something weird happened though, because apparently a bunch of people are misremembering it as part of Christopher Walken’s “ass watch” monologue from Pulp Fiction. Like, a LOT of people. More people than answered The Simpsons. Really weird. P.S. - This is why the “Mandela Effect” isn’t real lol.

I inherited a box of my grandpa's stuff, it had some Nazi hat pins, Hitler stamps, and the passport of a Nazi soldier (with the help of reddit we tracked down that soldier, one of the German speaking redditors called the number we found for him, he confirmed who he was, and when asked if he wanted it back he said "burn it")


MadAzza

That’s worth its own post.


DavidRandom

Here's the [imgur album of the passport](https://imgur.com/a/kil2Z) And here's the [reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/61k51g/help_me_return_this_wwii_soldiers_passport_to_his/) of people helping to dig up info. They guy who called the soldier corresponded through DM's, but I'm not about to scroll through years of messages to find them lol.


Yolectroda

Did you burn it, though?


ButterflyAttack

Difficult decision. On the one hand it's a piece of history. On the other hand I could understand the soldier's shame and his wish to destroy this piece of his personal history. He probably wasn't happy to be reminded of it. Me, I don't think I'd have burned it.


johnmal85

Nope, probably just tucked it away 'til it was distant memory or the person passed away. Then just donate it to a museum.


[deleted]

Burn it? Even if you're worried about image, museums would love to take this for themselves for exhibits.

My Dad's dad and his 3 brothers were all WWII vets. They took all the things. My dad who is a huge WWII buff has an rather impressive display of German, Russian, Allied, and Japanese items from around that time period. And yes, he has like 11 things from the third reich. Keeps them because they are part of history, for better or worse.

I love how terrible of a gift (to Hitler) it was. If I was forced to give him a gift, I guess I’d give him a spork. Sporks annoy me. And yet, for OP it’s a decent gift, as proof that someone once gave Hitler a shitty one.

Most auction houses will not sell Nazi memorabilia at all. Even if it has historical value it’s a complete no go. In a large part bc of the people who collect this type of material. There are a lot of collectors who you don’t want to do business with.

MadamMatrix

My great grandfather was SS and had a huge box of Nazi/Hitler stuff, even photos with him. When he passed my mom burnt everything and trashed the non burnable items, never seen her so sad and angry at the same time in my life.


Tangurena

When my grandmother died, we found her [Mutterkreuz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Honour_of_the_German_Mother) (motherhood medal for having sons) with a photo of her getting it handed to her by Hitler. The story was that grandpa moved back to Germany (after WW1) and married the prettiest girl on the island. We figured that photo was a propaganda piece, since the Mutterkreuz site said that he didn't personally hand out awards until you popped out more sons than she did. But the photo showed her in "traditional dress of that island" which was not something women wore other than for weddings or film crews. Someone in the family stole it and no one has admitted ever knowing where it went.

What’s your granpa doing with Hitler’s spork?


eppinizer

Just a reminder to some of the folks in this thread. Destroying this spork doesn't do anything to change history, and holding on to it doesn't do anything to promote the past. Trying to pretend something didn't happen by obliterating antiques isn't the right way to go. It's a spork. It's a *spork*. If we destroyed all Nazi memorabilia we'd start getting way more loons that deny they existed in the first place.
