[Topic renamed by the host, Ivan Ž.]
Please can can someone enlighten me ?
What is this "thing" called ?
And what is its significance ?
The Romans had them....the Nazis had them in their parades.....and the Russians still have then...as they did in Soviet times.
They seem to be carried in front of columbs of troops in ceremonial parades (see you tube on Russian Parades: Nazi Parades , etc )
Friends and I cannot find out any reference to them on Google, so we simply call them a " Thing "

Welcome to Axis Forum.
It's a Luftwaffe "Jingling Johnny "or "Chinesco".
Really is a musical instrument.
Is beaten on the ground, to music rhythm, and get the bells sound.
Used by some Military Music Bands.
The "Thing" is a film of John Carpenter
Regards !

I don't believe it is shaken or in any way moved other than in a normal march step to the rhythm of the music being played. These are used today by German military bands and carried in front of the musicians as an escort of sorts. The history of the design does go back to the Roman times. I have attended several performances by these groups and if there is any sound that is produced, it is hard to hear over the rest of the band.
I found this the other day of a ceremony in front of Munich city hall. If you can discount the hecklers jeering in the background and the fact it was videoed by a 10 year old boy (a little shaky,) at about minute 5 you’ll see a “Schellenbaum” in action. FYI – the march played is the Castaldo March – an excellent Czech piece.
