[PhilipBS2000]

how old do you have to be to do this?? :) and do you have to be able to speak german to be on the german side?? because i have seen in one of the other videos that one of them is actually speaking german :D

[kuipers23]

i want to go to this but my family owns a farm and i always work during this

looks awesome

[fastmoviemaker]

Where do u get the suite for the renactment or do they give u them???

[Irish8594]

i dont no about that cause im a civil war reenactor but i think you have to buy it your self

[filon102]

[airsoftkid65]

[hanlin9191919]

[himmler251]

[hanlin9191919]

and besides, that is the 1st SS Liebstandarte that has been reenacing ww2 for over 35 years and have over 300 members Nationwide

i think thier regulations are accurate

[SecretSponge]

Don't forget Grossdeutschland, Felgendarme, and other non ss units wore cufftitles.

[railfan95]

Man, I just got back from Rockford 2008. What a show!

[hanlin9191919]

[schultz234]

Only 2 more days man!!!

[2idreenactor]

Nice video dude, I can't wait to go to Rockford 2008!! Only a month to go.

[GalizienSoldat]

If you turn the camera around, you would see me standing in front of the police station! 711. Feldkommandantur.

[ArowinAaron]

I'll see you there on the battlefield.

[elgnidelgnid927]

hey iam thinkin of getting involved in WWII reenacting. I am already in Civil war (American). Do you guys have any suggjestions for withc country to jion with.(russia, britin, germany or america.)

I am thinkin russia. Please respond with info.

[hanlin9191919]

if you want to do russian that is awesome, Russia needs more reenactors

its probably the cheapest one too

where do you live?

[YakerdySmakerdy]

Does any one no any good re-enactment groups in the UK

[MauserKar98k]

One reason. In the UK, everyone is so wacko about guns that reenactments have become all but impossible. Apparently in the mind of UK politicians, history-preserving reenactor=baby killer.

[polishman131]

I was there, American forces though, 9th ID

[hanlin9191919]

cool

i'm with the 110th panzergrenadiers

[MauserKar98k]

Hanlin, is your unit; the 110th Panzergrenadiers, the landsers with the truck named "Natasha"? Were you guys at the little reenactment at the Freeport train museum?

[hanlin9191919]
