How the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle Enhances Training and Safety

Introduction: Why Safety is Crucial in Drill Training

When it comes to drill performances, whether for ceremonial events, exhibitions, or competitive events, there’s one aspect that stands above all else—safety. Traditional rifles are often used in military drill practices, but when these weapons are no longer used for their intended purpose (i.e., firing rounds), they can pose safety risks. This is why replica rifles, such as the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle, have become the preferred choice for drill teams, honor guards, and other ceremonial units.

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle provides a safe yet realistic alternative to real firearms. This replica rifle mimics the weight, balance, and handling of the original 1903 Springfield, but crucially, it eliminates the potential dangers associated with using real weapons. Whether you are an instructor, a member of a drill team, or someone looking to enhance their skills, the safety and authenticity of this rifle ensure that you can focus on perfecting your technique without unnecessary risks.

In this article, we will explore how the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle enhances both safety and training efficiency, making it a top choice for those looking to practice drill movements with realism and peace of mind.

The Benefits of Training with a Replica Rifle

When it comes to drill training, using the right equipment can have a significant impact on how well performers learn, grow, and execute their routines. Here’s how the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle stands out in terms of safety and training advantages:

Non-Firing Design: Ensures No Risk of Accidental Discharge

The primary benefit of using a replica rifle is that it does not pose any risk of accidental discharge. A real firearm, regardless of whether it’s loaded or not, always carries a risk, especially when used by individuals who may not be fully familiar with its mechanics and safety features. In the case of drill training, where rifles are often tossed, spun, and handled in quick, precise movements, the use of an actual firearm can result in accidents or mishandling.

With the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle, however, you can engage in the same types of drills and movements as you would with a real firearm, without worrying about the risk of an accidental discharge. Since the rifle is non-firing, there are no live rounds or working mechanisms that could inadvertently lead to danger. This greatly enhances the safety of any drill training session, ensuring that performers can focus entirely on their routines without the additional concern of handling a live weapon.

Durable Construction: Withstands Rigorous Training Without Compromising Performance

Training with any kind of firearm or tool requires durability. Whether you’re spinning, catching, or performing high-velocity maneuvers, equipment needs to be able to withstand repeated impacts and stresses. The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is designed for just this purpose, made from high-quality materials that can endure the demands of intensive drill practice.

The rifle is constructed with durable materials that prevent easy breakage or wear. This construction not only ensures that the rifle can handle high-intensity training, but it also ensures that you won’t need to worry about constantly replacing or repairing your equipment. Whether you're performing complex exhibition routines or practicing basic drill movements, the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle will stand up to the pressure without compromising its form, weight, or handling.

Authentic Feel: Provides a Realistic Experience Without the Dangers of a Real Firearm

One of the most critical components of any drill training is the authenticity of the experience. To execute precise and well-coordinated movements, performers need to feel as though they are handling a real weapon, mimicking the weight, balance, and dynamics of the original firearm. The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle achieves this by providing a realistic feel that makes the rifle behave similarly to the actual 1903 Springfield in terms of its weight, length, and overall handling.

Using a rifle that simulates the feel of a real firearm gives performers the benefit of practicing with equipment that mirrors the real-world tool they might one day use in ceremonial functions. This type of training can help develop muscle memory, improve timing, and ensure that performers are prepared for the demands of professional drill performances. What’s more, you can train with this level of realism without the associated risks of using a real firearm, which makes it the perfect solution for both safety and performance.

Why the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is the Best Training Tool

While many replica rifles exist on the market, the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle stands out due to its superior design, which closely mimics the weight and handling of the original firearm, and its commitment to safety. Here’s why it is the best training tool for drill performers:

Designed to Simulate the Weight, Balance, and Handling of the Original

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle has been carefully engineered to replicate the original 1903 Springfield’s weight, balance, and handling characteristics. This makes it ideal for drill teams that need to practice real-life movements in a way that feels authentic. By maintaining the original rifle’s center of gravity and overall dynamics, the replica ensures that performers can experience realistic training conditions, which will ultimately translate to better performance in competitions or ceremonies.

The rifle's one-piece construction helps achieve this balance and weight distribution, ensuring that the rifle doesn’t feel top-heavy, awkward, or difficult to control during routine practices. The feel of the rifle is integral for drill teams, as it allows for fluid, consistent movements.

Maintains a Safe Training Environment

The most significant advantage of the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is the safety it provides during training. Real firearms, even when not loaded, pose inherent risks due to the potential for mishandling, accidents, and misunderstandings of safety protocols. In contrast, the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is entirely non-functional, meaning that performers can train with full confidence that they are not in any danger of accidental injury, discharge, or other safety concerns.

Whether the training session involves rigorous spins, drops, or catches, there’s no risk of handling errors causing harm. This not only makes it an ideal training tool for beginners but also ensures that seasoned drill performers can practice advanced moves without concern.

Safety Features of the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle

When considering safety, it’s essential to examine the specific features of the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle that reduce the risk of injury or damage during training. Here are some of the key safety aspects of this rifle:

Tough Resin Material: Reduces Risk of Breakage and Injury

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is made from high-quality resin materials that provide durability without the risk of breakage. In traditional drill training, where rifles are frequently spun, tossed, or handled with force, the risk of a fragile rifle breaking or splintering is ever-present. With this replica, however, the tough resin construction helps prevent the rifle from snapping or chipping, even under intense use.

This material also minimizes the risk of injury, as it is less likely to cause harm compared to metal or wooden alternatives. Drill team members can perform their routines with the peace of mind that the equipment is both durable and safe.

Perfectly Weighted: Prevents Excessive Strain on Users

The weight of the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is specifically designed to prevent excessive strain on the user’s body. Training with a rifle that is too heavy can lead to muscle fatigue, strain, or even injury, particularly during extended practice sessions. On the other hand, a rifle that is too light may fail to provide the necessary resistance for proper control, leading to less effective training.

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle strikes the perfect balance at 8.5-8.6 pounds, making it neither too light nor too heavy. This ensures that users don’t experience unnecessary strain, whether they’re engaging in long training sessions or preparing for a performance.

Secure Components: No Loose Parts That Could Pose a Hazard

Another safety feature of the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is its secure, integrated components. Many replica rifles on the market are prone to having loose parts, such as a bolt or magazine, that could become detached during use. These loose parts can pose a safety risk, especially if they are ejected during high-intensity movements.

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle has been designed with secure, non-detachable components, which greatly reduces the likelihood of any parts becoming loose or dislodged during use. This further enhances the safety and stability of the rifle, making it an ideal choice for training and drill practice.

Conclusion: The Best Option for Safe, Realistic Drill Training

The DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is undoubtedly one of the best options available for drill teams and honor guards looking for a safe, realistic training tool. By providing the ideal balance of authenticity, safety, and durability, this rifle ensures that performers can develop their skills in a secure environment while mimicking the feel of an actual firearm. Whether you are preparing for a ceremonial performance or engaging in rigorous practice, this rifle allows you to focus on your technique without the concerns associated with real firearms.

For teams who value both precision and safety, the DrillAmerica® 1903 Springfield Replica Rifle is the ultimate choice for drill training.

ghost x gn!civilian!reader where you really enjoy tactical gear. you manage to buy some frogs camo, a vest, holsters, bags, and a replica rifle—as well as a helmet and headphones. you have a tough time adjusting it all to fit you, so you shamefully shuffle over to simon who is sitting on the couch.

he looks up at you with a subtly amused look. “Oh, look at you,” simon murmurs, his eyes glancing over you, his eyes tracing the gear. “I need help.” you frown, sighing, holding out your sleeves. simon laughs and he stands up and within just a minute or two, his expert fingers has tightened every strap, patted down every piece of velcro, everything. he gently tugs on the straps of the gear, murmuring and asking if it feels alright.

just imagining him indulging in your little hobbies with gentle hands!!!!

[that-house]

can you tell us more about dronestrike & the campaign theyre from?

just read thhe post about it & immediately became obsessed

(context: Dronestrike is my warrior cats OC, an american imperialist robot cat the size of a horse and equipped with enough firepower to wipe out the clans if it seems like they're at risk of falling to communism. in the oneshot he accidentally fired a nuke at the city of LA and blamed "every other country" in a phone call with Bidenstar to avoid getting in trouble)

it wasn't a campaign, just an 11-person oneshot in the single most chaotic discord voice call I have ever been in. so i haven't played him since then, nor will i ever play him again

i can provide you a variety of facts about him i came up with after the fact though because he's a funny enough character that i can't stop thinking about him:

his brain is composed of three parts with an equal amount of control over his actions: the soul of a vietnam veteran, an AI replica of a cat, and every single super bowl halftime commercial

he comes armed with combat knives for claws, a machine gun in his mouth, a high caliber sniper rifle built into his spine, a pistol that he somehow uses with cat paws, and a douglas air-2 genie air-to-air unguided nuclear missile

transition could not save him because all trans people are godless communists who bully him on twitter

Dronestrike acknowledges every independence movement if only so that America has more countries to eventually colonize

he has read Marx so he can misuse quotes and flex on any marxists who haven't read theory

his greatest wish is for america to have won 'nam

doesn’t really have any physical possessions because he’s a cat who doesn’t have pockets or a permanent residence. he does however have $8.6 million in Shell oil stock

Dronestrike if he played League of Legends: only plays champs who have america-themed skins, but doesn’t actually own the skins because that would be giving money to a chinese company. plays all of them jungle to poor results. iron 4 two thousand games this season

has no mouth but wishes he did so he could taste the burgers that honest Americans have died to defend

Dronestrike's dream world is world war 3, with the stipulation that there is an american flag superimposed over EVERYONE'S vision instead of just his

if he had 24 hours to live he would start a “second american revolution” by attacking England

he isn't a good kisser: no lips, he's a cat, and also george washington famously said that romantic connections weaken your spiritual link with The State

response to being trapped in a maze of mirrors: breaks through the mirrors without noticing, but also can’t recognize his reflection. Thinks he has to fight these teleporting commie clones of himself to save the United States of America

he's on Santa's naughty list

on Halloween he dresses up as George Washington and “trick or disappears” journalists

Dronestrike hates the reds, the brits, women, and most importantly, himself

prefers fundamentals over schmovement

favorite board game is Monopoly because watching people go bankrupt or be imprisoned is one of his hobbies

his happiest memory is his first glimpse of an amazon packaging facility and the horrible conditions of the workers

favorite season is summer: 4th of July babey!!! the holiday where you're allowed to blow shit upppp!!! he also frequently sets off fireworks in the off season to scare dogs and people with anxiety

doesn’t date but he sends tech billionaires unethically farmed flowers sometimes

doesn’t play video games but he has a simulated CoD lobby’s chat going at all times in his head. they call him slurs whenever he misses a shot

relates strongly to Patrick Bateman

he was in ShadowClan. they picked which clan he would be deployed into by having him take the official "which clan are you" quiz

sometimes he doubts that he has the heart of a true warrior

[thevoidstaredback]

As soon as Deadman left, Phantom allowed himself to enter his Keep to further investigate the damages. The entire upper-right wing had been changed, as well as some of the colours in the throne room and the courtyard, though nothing more than that.

The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep remained untouched in the crypt below the Keep, the traps in the surrounding maze of catacombs were still primed and unactivated.

The Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage stayed on Phantom’s person at all times, so he didn’t worry about those. However, Fright Knight’s sword had been moved. Instead of the middle of the room, the pumpkin was sitting on the throne.

Hm.

Unfortunately, Phantom knew exactly who was behind this. How he hadn’t suspected earlier, he didn’t know, but the unnatural changes to his Keep were a dead - ha - giveaway.

While he’d be locked Outside Time, Plasmius’ human half had died, leaving him as a full ghost. He took residence in the Realms, not allowing even the vultures to enter his lair. The Realms had told Phantom that Plasmius spent time traveling, though most of his time was split between his lair and Ghostwriter’s Library. Now it made sense.

Being King gave Phantom a lot of passes when breaking rules. Pariah Dark had had and abused the same power, so he did everything he could to follow the same rules everyone else did. This was the exception.

Entering another Spirit or Ghosts Lair without a clear invitation was unheard of and only done with full expectation of retaliation. Kind of like signing and breaking a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This is not one of those times.

Phantom left his Keep as it was. Fright Knight was there, so he wasn’t too worried about it. He was quick to fly to the door leading to Plasmius’s Lair, and even quicker to enter. Plasmius would know the second he opened the door, but he didn’t care.

At least he would’ve known about his company if he’d been there.

Phantom made his way into the empty Lair. It was almost an exact replica of Vlad’s basement lab, which was very unsettling. There weren’t any clones toddling about, but there was a cloning station. And in place of the perfectly functioning portal from the basement lab, the mere skeleton of the frame stood. It was a truly pathetic attempt to replicate the portal without the blueprints, but it made Phantom wonder why it was the way it was. Vlad had designed those blueprints with his parents, had built a portal with so many more limitations than he had in the Infinite Realms, so why?

The Realms pulled at him, urging him to go to Walker’s Prison. Plasmius wasn’t there but he’d undoubtedly get the hostile invitation to the Keep.

“Why didn’t you tell me it was him?” Phantom asked the Realms as She took him to the Prison.

“I was having fun,” She answered, though She had no voice.

“So putting the lives of hundreds of Living People in danger is fun to you?” He’d never been truly mad at the Realms until this moment. It was odd.

There was a frown in Her not-voice. “Should lives have been in danger, I would’ve told you.”

“Lives are in danger!”

“You forget that I am All, and therefore I know All. You and your heroes would have figured it out with or without mine and Lady Gotham’s help.”

“You put her up to her riddles?!”

“No. She’s just like that.”

Phantom sighed as the Prison came into sight, trying to calm himself as best he could.

Landing on the pale green island, Phantom knocked on the door and waited for the proper invitation to come in. When he was permitted entry, he followed the path to Walker’s office.

“Phantom,” the Warden greeted.

“Walker,” he nodded back, “You have on your list the name Ra’s al Ghul, yes?”

Walker paused for a moment at the name before he started rifling through the papers around the room. Eventually, he held one up, “Yeah, but he still ain’t here.”

“There’s a cell waiting for him, yeah?”

“Obviously.”

“Perfect! Because he’s on his way.”

Walker blinked. “Excuse me?”

“He’s been using excess energy that’s leaked into his world from the Realms as a kind of faux immortality. It’ll catch up to him eventually, but recently he’s decided to try and access the Realms themselves.”

“And you’re going to drag him here yourself?”

“Naturally,”

Walker grinned. “Why don’t you let me drag him through? I may not have your Kingly powers, but this technically falls under my Obsession.”

Phantom laughed with him. “Go right ahead, Warden, you may interfere with the Living Realms through the Lazarus Pits at this time.”

There was a crackle of thunder and the Realms seemed to shiver. The lavender glow in the room started to fluctuate between dim and bright as Walker concentrated, reaching through the leak and grabbing a hold of his target and pulling him through.

Two people came through the rip in reality just before it closed.

“Ra’s al Ghul,” Walker said, manic grin still in place, “You’re under arrest for crimes against the Realms. With her as my witness and King Phantom as your judge, you are to await trial for your crimes.”

“Talia al Ghul,” Phantom said, “You are not yet meant to be here.”

“A simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” she answered.

Phantom hummed. “You will be taken to Gotham to serve as parol.”

“Parol?”

“Your time will come. For now, you have a child to care for.”

The Realms was quick to take Talia away, giving her to the care of Lady Gotham.

Walker, meanwhile, was having the time of his life with Ra’s. He’d taken the man to his cell, reading the Realms equivalent of Miranda Rights and handing his sentence.

“For what crimes am I here!” Ra’s demanded.

“Crimes against the Realms and Her King,” Walker said.

“Which are?”

“I don’t have to tell ya a thing,” Walker leaned in close to the bars, “The Dead work by different rules than the Living. Learn ‘em.” He walked away then, reveling in the protests of his new inmate.

MODERN AU:

arthur and john had a minecraft world where they built the weirdest stuff ever then showed dutch. there was no aesthetic houses.

there was the glass dome, the giant box which they filled with animals and turned upside down, the “jail cell” they put hosea in after he yelled at john at the dinner table, badly followed tutorial builds, zombie spawner, huge tnt block, anything really.

sean also had a minecraft world with his da when he was a kid, labelled “daddy smells”and when lenny asked him to play minecraft with him, he rifled through his stuff, found the world and sobbed. he remembered it so clearly, he had built an ugly house which his da was very very happy with, calling it lovely and saying he’d live there. his da had built a replica of their house, sean had put a sign on it saying “daddy and sean hows”, they had built farms and giant statues, sean didnt even realise they’d spent almost all their time on their world. he’d started it when he was 6 and only stopped playing on it when he was 10 and was more interested in football and playing with his friends. (stop just imagine his friends groupchats when they suddenly see sean macguire, their 12 year old friend who’d fled the country and promptly disappeared, losing complete contact with them, was online after 10 years and playing minecraft. can u imagine them never unfriending his dead account even though his playstation was still in his house when he ran away, suddenly to see it online. CAN U IMAGINE THEM MESSAGING HIM LIKE CHECKING ITS NOT BEEN HACKED AND THEY EXCHANGE SOCIALS AND OHMYGOD-) sorry tangent

anyway him and lenny made a world pretty similar to arthur and johns except sean loves making houses. lenny loves his inhumane redstone experiments, command blocks, barrier blocks etc etc. they also put everyone they dont like in prisons, from micah to the old man who greeted sean by calling him a fenian.

I wanted to go through the Act 3 trailer so I can totally not write some theoretical fanfiction.. as I do.. and I needed to take notes so I thought I could share since its kinda fast paced

This is not a comprehensive list:

-With Ambessa's army we notice: The sky, meaning they're topside, solidiers injected with shimmer and buff af

-Caitlyn, Vi, Mel? (her backs to us) and Jayce in a war room staring at a city replica while Caitlyn asks if Viktor is at the center of it all

-Someone injecting another beast (or is it vander? I cant tell from this angle), someone floating in the fetal position in a fluid tank, someone turning a gas valve

-Ambessa and Singed staring in shock of something

-One of Viktor's fallen awakening via the fingerprints left on his face

-Exploding topside buildings

-Ambessa coming for Caitlyn's LIFE with a dagger (that she took from Cait) and she's maybe going for an eyeball

-Vi yelling at Cait in that library studyish room about siding with Ambessa

-Ambessa going buckwild on the battlefield, covered in gold armor

-Caitlyn shouting back to Vi "I know!"

-Cait taking a shot with a big ass rifle

-Ambessa calling for soldiers to fire, breaking glass with Jinx's face on it, leading to a shot of Jinx in a burning building

-What i'll note about that last one is that the glass shatters in one direction, then seems pulled back in the other- maybe alluding to Ekko's powers to reverse time

-Jinx pulling a grenade pin

-Jinx holding a power ball while Vi talks about her using her explosive potential for good

-Cait(i think?) in Them Goggles firing through The Gas^tm and I cant tell if that is Jinx who fires back at her?? Pls advise

-Vi Wreck it Ralphing the shit out of some guy in that electrical collider thing

-Jinx's heavy gun is back

-VI WITH RED HAIRS (I'm wondering if the black was spray on lol or if she dyes it BACK. Both are loaded options. Also she has a little bandaid on her nose

Let me know if you want to add anything else, please keep comments or replies kind and respectful!

Reading the Yu-Gi-Oh manga is wild after only seeing the dubbed anime. Not only is there an entire section of the story that just isn't in the anime but the story is just totally different and better in general. I made a list of some key (and my favorite differences).

The friendship smiley face is introduced after trials and character development not just bull from a first episode

the first duel between Kaiba and Yuugi takes place in a private setting so Yuugi can win back the blue eyes white dragon from Kaiba (after he stole it) and the monsters appeared through Yamis magic not tech which not only sets up an actual president for the heart of the cards but it also give Kaiba an actual grudge against Yuugi personally

Yuugi is getting his ass beat regularly and Yami refuses to let it slide by cursing people (slay)

Mokuba is just as wild as his brother (kidnapping Yuugi by having his goons threaten him with a rifle and a taser so they can play knock off chess and if Mokuba won he would have cut off one of Yuugi's fingers) not just some sweet kid who got kidnapped

Yuugi's grandfather doesn't get hurt from "duelling to hard" against Kaiba but has a heart attack because Kaiba recreated the magic that Yami used to create up close realistic 3d monsters.

Anzu, Juouchochi, and Honda have actual development beyond the little they get in the anime

Kaiba was in the card for an ENTIRE NIGHT with real deal duel monsters, and in his replica, he said only TEN MINUTES would make you go insane!! No wonder he's like that!

Yuugi is just super bullyable apparently

Yuggi has a MOM?!

It's just wild to me that the anime starts off by completely chopping up the first like 20 chapters and starting the story a fourth of the way through.

Does anyone make like replica flintlock rifles of good quality, and is that just what black powder guns are?

I mean it depends what you are looking for. Uberti and Pietta are two black powder replica companies that make really fine firearms but they are expensive. Veteran Arms is a good option if you are on a budget.

Drumroll please…

*insert Alpha and Omega joke*

Bet you guys weren’t anticipating a Leon reveal. (you’re welcome ;3)

He ended up pretty damn close to what I was wanting. He’s not an exact replica (b/c unfortunately there is no RE8 Chris headsculpt boo) and I could only fit so many things on his chest rig/plate vest before he kind of looked ridiculous but I’m very happy with the final product. I may add a couple more things (possible bungees on the right side to hold his handgun and maybe a few smaller details) but for now, I’m very happy.

Now moving onto Leon… obviously he wasn’t in 8 so I got to have some fun with his design. I kind of pulled some elements from Knacknics Leon look and also what was available and settled with a black and tan combo for him. I did another chest rig for him since he’s usually more pared down with gear in the media and minimalized his overall aesthetic. Gave him a sniper rifle because why not (lol. also points back to my comment a few weeks back where I said Leon was also a sniper and I still maintain that assumption) and he gets his typical cargo pants/boot combo and fingerless gloves because what else is he gonna wear? (besides jeans — don’t worry, that’s coming later). He may also get a couple more additions as well if I feel like it but I’ll post updated shots if that happens.

This headsculpt I got for him is very detailed but I’m a bit bummed how Leon is so much tanner than Chris lol (ngl… I took bronzer to the neck piece to try and match the coloring. Still not completely satisfied but oh well). Also, his hair makes him taller than Chris lmao. it’s full of secrets (also I did tuck Leon’s shirt in halfway thru this photoshoot. :3c)

Next project: RE6 China fit for Leon.

Police in Argentina have seized a trove of Nazi weapons and memorabilia, including dozens of guns, uniforms and busts of Hitler, in their latest discovery of Nazi relics in a country that gave refuge to Nazi leaders.

The federal police’s anti-mafia division uncovered the items during a raid Friday in Quilmes, a city near Buenos Aires. They seized over 60 firearms from a home, including 43 rifles with Nazi eagle markings, pistols, bayonets and machine guns, and arrested a man. The name of the detained was not disclosed and an investigation is ongoing.

According to the ministry of security the investigation was made together with the police of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as part of an investigation into international weapons trafficking. Argentina’s national security minister, Patricia Bullrich, said the country had seized “weapons and parts from a dark and tragic era of humanity.”

Argentina has had an anti-discrimination law on the books since 1988 that criminalizes trafficking in such objects. Professionals from the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires participated in the raid and confirmed that the objects violated the law, according to local reports.

Argentina was a refuge for Nazis after World War II. Adolf Eichmann was captured in the northern area of Buenos Aires in 1960. Nazi war criminals Joseph Mengele and Erich Priebke also made their way to Argentina.

In October 2018 Argentina’s Jewish political umbrella organization revealed excerpts from tens of thousands of documents about World War II that shed light on the Nazi influence on the country and the Nazi war criminals who hid here.

Meanwhile, Nazi relics — and items forged by their admirers — have continued to circulate. In June 2016, a collector from Argentina paid $680,000 for Nazi underpants and other memorabilia. The following year, investigators announced the seizure of 75 items, including those seemingly used in medical experiments; most were later revealed to be forgeries. Last year, police raided and closed a publisher that was distributing Nazi literature.
