This is the Heilige Lanze or Holy Lance which sits in a museum in Austria. Hitler is said to have invaded Austria prior to the beginning of World War II in order to obtain this legendary relic, often referred to as the Spear of Destiny, which he believed would allow him to rule the world. Patton is said to have recaptured the lance and five days later Hitler committed suicide.
Spent a lot of time in the 90’s in Castle Wolfenstein fighting for this.
Never Forget
Came here to post this, leaving satisfied.
So many hours. The last video game I was good at other than Doom2!

The early version was spear of destiny? I played the original on an Apple in the early 80’s
Shareware… Sent away for the free 5 1/4″ floppy discs of Wolfenstein 3D

Maybe we can take up a collection and buy it for Trump
Dang….that’s cool.
The Spear of Longius. Wow.
This spear, according to legend, is said to have been thrust into the body of Jesus Christ and fully covered in his blood, by the Roman soldier (Centurion?) Longius.
It’s been rumored that a lot of people have possessed it, or have sought to possess it. Hitler, as mentioned, Napolean being another. I heard a rumor that Joesph Stalin wanted to destroy it, but I was never able to verify it, so left it as a rumor.
Good to see this story on here. I really appreciate it.
My mistake. The Roman soldier’s name is Longinus.
They had the novels Casca the Eternal Mercenary a fictional series based on the life of Casca Rufio Longinus.
The hand to hand combat instructor at MCRD PISC turned us on to them.

this guy needs a patch
instantly reminded of the people in line to pay too much for coffee fiddling with smart phone pay thingy’s.
He’s got one. He always forgets it. But he never leaves home without his picture of one.
If I’m not mistaken, within the spear’s blade, and secured to the spear by gold threading, is one of the nails used to nail Jesus on the cross. I think there’s also a small piece of the wooden crucifix under under the gold thread, but I’m not real sure about that part. Great photo of the Spear of Longinus.
The spear is actually dated to the 7th century AD, but it does contain a Roman crucifiction nail that is dated to the correct period. I believe it’s silver thread. It’s a very impressive piece in person especially.
I thought Hitler died in South America in the 60s
His is also mentioned as having died in the fifties during the “Occult Wars,” contrary to popular belief.
It belongs in a museum!
Don’t worry, it’s being studied by Top men.
Top Men!
Ba-dadunt-da-duntdadah…
Hitler didn’t invade Austria. It calls Anschluss. Hitler was born in Austria and most top nazis also…
