WWII Reenactment Rockford 08

[pandjsprofbs]

@Legomaster1209 yes I'm 11 but if u would like to actually reenact do wat I do and start collecting now so when ur old enuff u can jump rite in

[scottb3034]

Man, I want to do a reenactment, looks fun and it would be cool to wield a Thompson, but I don't have the cash to do it. Perhaps some time in the near future though.

[SSsoldat1]

they still won that battle and held out pretty long considering half the world was against them

[SSsoldat1]

what about the bridge to far? you know how the british and the americans tried to capture the bridge but they failed.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@SSsoldat1 - Which was all about the Normandy Invasion and the overwhelming victory the Allies had vs Nazi Germany, thank God. Once the Allies landed at Normandy, it took only a year to beat back Nazi Germany's army's all the way to Germany and their ultimate defeat.

[71thWHreenactor]

at 4:25 did that kid just called that halft-track a german tank?... Yes I think I will just stick with the private event's too.....

[MrLtwilliam]

well im 23 so ill go in one of those event do my part for my contry

[mosin1nagant]

the battles in the field were always better

[CODBOI44]

Best reinactment ever but when they shoot can u feel if u get hit??

[jedlock1976]

those guys have bad aim

[billace90]

That was so cool. What was the little tank at the end? Congratulations to all those involved. I saw one reenactment once in Rockome, Indiana and the Germans had a Tiger 1 tank. A nice copy of course.

[legomaster1209]

so if ur 11 to 12 u can be a savlian or watch

[SSsoldat1]

are these battles pland for the germans to lose ?i hope not cause that would be bullshit

[burnyourhonda]

@SSsoldat1 well, they are planned to ensure safety. But every force wins and loses. Americans win form time to time and germans just as much. Likewise for other forces

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@SSsoldat1 - Well, Nazi Germany did lose remember. If we are going to re-enact something, it wouldn't be a re-enactment if it weren't the truth.

[SSsoldat1]

@JohnQuincyAdams1 but germany did win lots of battles to.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@SSsoldat1 - Initially, yes, as they spent years preparing for war/invasion and conquest, where'as the rest of the world didn't. Consequently, initially, Nazi Germany had a rather large edge on the battlefield. As soon as the Allied powers industries kicked into gear, that was totally reversed.

[TheFightformylife]

that looks hella fun!

[FrozenEMT]

Sounds like a few airsoft rifles going off out there. Argghhhh!

[FrozenEMT]

This is probably the only place where its acceptable to pretend to be a Nazi.

[FrozenEMT]

I love the German with the Swedish Grease Gun at about 1:05 sweeping right into the backs of his own men as he fires. I know the place they are do this at and its tight quarters, but this could have gone much better. Im surprised its the biggest WWII event as the place isnt very big.

[CelticWarrior1971]

Kill the Russian scum! Long live Germany!

[TheFightformylife]

cant all the nations get along why cuase war

[CelticWarrior1971]

@TheFightformylife: @TheFightformylife: It'd be nice for all people to get along, but there are always going to be people and nations that see things differently on certain things, one side will push the other, or push their agenda on the other or whatever, then the other side will get pissed off, push back and bam, a war; and it doesn't matter if it is nations fighting, or a group of people, or just singular combat, it's all war, but just on different scales of size.

[CelticWarrior1971]

@TheFightformylife: Also, people are NOT "enlightened" and they never will be to the point of utopian peace, and that is just a fact of reality, and I mean the REAL reality, not the fucking PLASTIC reality most of the dumbasses that are running the show are living in. Besides, my comment was just getting in the spirit of the re-enactment video, as I personally have nothing against Russians.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@TheFightformylife - Mankind will never be at peace because there is a lot of evil in this world and evil causes wars. This will always be this way until Jesus returns to stop satan and destroy his followers.

[SSsoldat1]

how old do you haved to be to join the axis side

[Maxobillion]

What a cluster fuck!

[seaweed555]

I like the private reenactments, the public ones suck.

[Krieger91]

Yeah, public are just..... yeah.

[snakeswithagun]

You need parent consent to use a weapon under 18

[Nesret09isback]

i was on a Reenactmen in Ohio with my american uncle. very funny. i teach them german^^ more realistic ;)

was a great holiday

[Lagerfeld2008]

This Buildings and Landscape looks more like a WildWest reenactment. You should dress up like Indianas and Cowboys

[Icedhope]

Thats because midway village is supposed to represent midwestern life in the 1800s.

[Grenadier1944]

Awesome, I was there! Thanks for putting this up on Youtube, great to relive this event.

[schultz234]

I can't wait for Rockford 09, this year i will actually be in the event; instead of just watching!

[schultz234]

3. "Any person under the age of 18 may participate in a public, living history or static display event wearing ONLY civilian period clothing."

[KingTyler]

That sucks. lol. Oh well I cant wait a few months xD

[schultz234]

Cool, I was going to reenact there; but HRS passed there new rule; No One Under the Age of 18 Can wear a uniform at an event. or something like that.

[TarawaMan]

That is incorrect. The minimum age is 16 for uniforms. Under age 18 cannot use weapons at events.

[schultz234]

Some events like TSG allows under kids to use weapons.

[yoyoyowasuppy]

You need to be 16 or older to use a weapon at most events.

[brendo150]

its only like that beacause of the insurance.

[ThatGuyBen99]

@TarawaMan what!? my friend here on youtube ww1jacob he goes to reenactments and hes like 13

[wizart49]
