Awesome Last Days of WW2 Battle Re-enactment. " War and Peace Show England 2011 "

[DESCA4]

how much t cost the enter

[incognito84]

I know the scale is exaggerated because it's a re-enactment (Americans not shooting at Germans that are only about ten feet away etc.) What is the difference in scale between this and an actual battle? Was this meant to be 10x/20x smaller in terms of distance between the two sides? Is there even such a rule?

Great reenactment. I've never seen one in person but now I want to.

[konstantin88181]

THAT is how all airsoft games should look like =D

[hellaskinnyskin]

White people go too much time in their hand

[Samseal16]

@hellaskinnyskin Its called history.

[Arnisho]

[pimmmsoleboy]

Cheers

Steven .

[STDrepository]

isnt it dangerous with tanks and guys running around randomly?

[TaZ101SAGA]

@STDrepository Well that's how it was done back in the day.

[moomoo1337]

Whats's the point in being a German in the re-enactments? No matter what you end up dead.

[hetzer223]

NICE!!

[MrPifpaf666]

what war never be



[jeebateeba56]

Went to this last July. Was surprised by the volume of the .50-cal and the halftrack-mounted AT gun! Lots of charge lol.

[TIER722]

voy a llorar =')

[PitbullNL]

As always on these events, the allies always win :(

[SmedleyDouwright]

Target the NAZI on crutches! Fire!!!

[IceRich05]

Through a Panther in there and it's game over.

[My49ers4life]

@IceRich05 The Americans had an M36 so don't be so sure that a Panther would save them. :)

[IceRich05]

@My49ers4life The M36 entered the War in September 1944, this is set a few months before that, and the Panthers were already an established leathal Menace by that point.

[My49ers4life]

@IceRich05 There is an M36 on the battlefield in this re-enactment. That is what I was referring too...

[1joshjosh1]

I don't know who to cheer for!!

[MrMonty450]

friend cousins friend

[MrMonty450]

if any of you see a guy in a t34 tanks thats my uncles friend

[fullmetal1102]

4 people who disliked this video are russians.

[MrCoolGuy2303]

I have been going to the War and Peace show since I was about 3. This footage captures the action really well. If I remember correctly, this was the time the truck broke down and they towed it away with the halftrack

[jolorulz]

Fucking amazing! Wish I was there to see it....

[redbeast2]

How does a Chaffee and an M10 beat 2 PzIIIs ಠ_ಠ

[narutofoxs]

@redbeast2 I know, I was near the panzer three, it because the yanks always have to win on the last day.

We also had pak 40 which could of knocked out all of there armor lol

[bundeswehrsammler]

how can I participate in such an event and where is the

[narutofoxs]

@bundeswehrsammler Depends on who you want to reenact, do you live in the UK?

[furkelnurkel]

wtf the ppl on the heavy machine guns dont shoot at the germans runing away amercans standing out in the open walking into german lines no one does anything wtf fail

[NewPaltzIndie]

what video games?

[williankanehira]

reenactment is not needed. Play CoD.

[GhostandMakkeman]

@williankanehira FAIL

[creativeprojects720]

what is the location of this re-enactment?

[neoanarch]

Puts to shame the events we have in the US, gives me a reason to move back home.



[TheJBurner]

Y U NO HAVE TIGER?! :P

[SuperSpotlight3]

I went to the biggest ww2 reenactment in America it had 6 tanks 2 halftracks 4'artillarys and 700. People

[TheDreamgun]

americans never die.. farbs...

[KidCanza]

fuck you americans,you are no heroes.the germans were much stronger than the army.but still dumb enough to mess with the rest of the world

[BabyNoLittleDragon]

You never see any sort of Panzers I, II, III, or IV at all in America...this is why I want to reenact in England!

[50TNCSA]

@BabyNoLittleDragon i know right

[lukazila111]

Re-enacting is a safeheaven for all men to act like boys again but except this time, they get to dress up and fire a real gun unlike putting on a coat and using a stick as rifle when they were 10

[pvtjoker777]

nice even the german soldiers run with their gun in one hand instead of two just like in the actual war

[fergman1290]

this reminds me of the game men of war

[ificouliwould]

Well done... at least you guys allowed to show something like this!

But the chaffee's as Tank III... well u use what u can get... ;o))

But what was this dude brabbling about a Tiger????

I hope my english is that bad that i missunderstood and he did'nt call one of these "Minitanks" a Tiger.

But i love Spectacles like that, what a pitty, that u guys are sooo far away from me.

[afvnut75]

I remember watching this at war and peace and thinking thats what it could have been like if operation sealion had gone according to plan once they landed on our beaches there really could have been skrimishes like this in the fields and woods of kent eerie thought !

[Falke40lg]

Das sollte wohl gerade die "Brückenkopf " Technik sein, von den Deutschen abgeguckt!

[daddymhm]

@Falke40lg Das war SCHEISSE DIE DER BLÖDE TOMMY bei solchen VERANSTALTUNGEN aufführt um die noch blöderen unterklasse Tommys bei Laune zu halten .

Wären unsere Soldaten nicht fähig gewesen aus 3 Metern ein Scheunentor zu treffen wäre der 2. Weltkrieg nach 2 Stunden vorbei gewesen.

[jeebateeba56]

Saw this live in August, the American .50 cal and the Chaffee main gun were bloody loud! Amazing performance.

[DaFestePanzer]

Those are GREAT reproductions of Panzer IIIs. I live in the USA and my unit aint got nothing like those....but our Hetzer is just as badass

[Allen10579]

This was great to watch, great job from everyone involved, everything looked real!

The vehicles were awesome, I've never seen a civil war re-enactment but I bet this is much better!

[Willysmb44]

GOOD LORD, why didn't someone take the micrphone away from the narrator? He wasn't needed at all!

[twa1638]

Wow.! I'm not one to give out compliments lightly. In this case I will praise you for this...An excellent piece of footage from a WW2 re-enactment. Very very entertaining and enjoyable. All praise to the re-enactors I would liked to have been there. (this from an ex British Para of the 1950's and 60's).........Very good video..................T.

[Wonkabar007]

@twa1638 Oh yes the re-enactors did a great job, also the chap who created this display, works in the film industry, you can really see the quality, it felt like watching a film from the crowd line.

[infantrydivision11]

@Wonkabar007 those were the good old days when you big people had to shoot at each other...isnt it?

[MegaRc1989]

@Wonkabar007 great video indeed. although id like to ask why i didnt see a panther or tiger....during the late stage of war...

[GameOver554]

@Wonkabar007 No he just used real guns and all of this is real.

[kylekadduide]

@twa1638 Well, I don't know, sometimes it seems like their where guys right in front of them, and they wouldn't even shoot them.

[ryanbauder]

@kylekadduide i noticed the same shit like when th american tank came around with the 50 cal and shot and no 1 died aha fail!!!!

[paulkawsek]

looks like authentic reproduction of vehicles used

[Danezu28]

7:20 - 7:24 i'm sure this grandpa' was in that real war! and he remember how look Europe in the 40's

[Rangerfull3]

Wow this is the best one i've seen, and as Blighty4 said i agree..the terrain is perfect

[Blighty4]

the terrain is really good here alot of battle reenactments i see are just on flat land and you wouldnt want to be that exposed against your enemy in battle!

[Hyperdog456]

I was there the sounds of the .50 cal and the tank shots go straight though you and I can tell why people call them the drums of war the sound is just amazing you can not get a sense of how loud they were unless you were there on that day

[spamstoper3]

5*

[PanterausfG]

Very well made panzer 3 mock ups

[aviationdocs]

I was at the show and am really impressed by the quality of the footage you took.

[Wonkabar007]

@aviationdocs Its always best to stand behind the German lines, then all the action come towards you, this was the best reenactment I had ever watched, almost film like.

[TheFlak36]

Awesome video!!!Was that the second battle group playing the Germans?

[Moondragon423]

Very good filming - i'm the photorapher at 6.15 - a good show

[MrChromehound]

Wehey theres me! the wounded soldier in jack boots at the beginning ;)

[yambasz]

jist like watchin a war film apart frae the ice cream van and jcb in the backgroond.nevertheless great visuals and filming.ja wol

[derwindhund116]

This is a great show for modellers to get their vehicle references.

First time i've seen footage with me in it lol, i was commanding the MG42 team near the start of the video.

[Wonkabar007]

@derwindhund116 I have to say how impressed I was with the battle, it was like watching a war film.

All the reenactors really did a great job, I saw the guy firing the MG42 had a bandage on his hand, was it a prop or had he injured it for real ?

[derwindhund116]

@Wonkabar007

The bandage was just a prop.

Its strange, but when your in the arena, you don't notice much of what is happening around you, as you are just concertrating on one your own little bit lol.

[wesmander]

Nice work , I've been going to the war & peace show most years for the last 20 odd years ( those were the days when it was about £5 entry. !), sadly I noticed the event attracted a lot of right wing types speaking many different languages !

[zildjiandrummr12]

Wow that was cool! Nice work filming too.

[OneEyeWonderWeasil]

good use of Chaffee's as Panzer III's! excellent :)

[rangersgt]

@OneEyeWonderWeasil the panzer is a 432 the only chaffee is on the american side

[OneEyeWonderWeasil]

@rangersgt thanks, irregardless, very beautiful replicas.

[TheStgmp44]

i cant believe the panzer III (213) got taken out :( better luck next time Al

[BasicModelling]

Great video... looks like a good 'show'... :)

[Wonkabar007]

@BasicModelling First time I had been to the show, very impressed indeed.

[BasicModelling]

@Wonkabar007 I have seen some other good footage as well on YouTube, (posted by wargamesanorak*), from this event, is it on every year? I'd love to go, if I can get there.. :)

* = he has given me permission to use some of his footage in my modelling videos, which was very kind.. I'm hoping to get a US Half track built some time this week.. :)

[DJJC619]

@BasicModelling yes mate it's on every year, just google war and peace show ;) Quite impressed to see myself in the footage :)

[BasicModelling]
