WW2 Reenactment - Kingston, Ma.

[MrALEJANDRO13579]

To be in these, you have to have your own gun, right? Like your own blank adapted M1 Garand or something?

[MrKG1020]

do they still have reanactments there i live not far form kingston ma

[AquilaRomana8]

Looks great. My period is ancient Rome but this looks very interesting. One my relatives fought at El Alamein for the Italian folgore and that's what got me interested in ww2.

Unfortunately axis re-enactors get a lot of stick because of the war and what the Nazis did etc. but I do think that it's important to consider history from both sides in order to appreciate it, and also to remember that not all men of the axis were sadistic murderers, just soldiers.

[nick21sammy]

@AquilaRomana8 thats not true. i've been an axis Reenactor for a long time and i've never had a bad experience with the public

[NaziZombiefan82]

so do you have to get your own gear and your own unifom and weapons for the war re-enactments?

[spazoid86]

Where can i find more info on this?!?!?

[Funnybuddy991]

Hey im trying to get into reenacting. Could you help im from around here

[spazoid86]

@Funnybuddy991 I am with you on that I am very interested

[Litzen2k]

@Funnybuddy991 You maybe already got this answered but here a tip! Just search on the internet for what kinda reenactment you are looking for in your state/community and WOLA! That's how I found my group and now Im having a blast of fun!

[tatetalk]

Who is involved in this on the german side??

[JessesWarMovies]

airsoft reenacting is good but blanks are better because they don't make a gay sound like electric airsoft guns and also you get the muzzle flash :D

[fxcat123]

how come u guy dont usee airsoft guns???

[tatetalk]

because that would be gay, also this is much better

[Berno10011001]

lie airsoft reenacting is a lot of fun

[Kaos7125]

@fxcat123

There is 2 types of reenactors.

1) Who use blanks

2) Who use airsoft guns.

Each have their differences

[punkinglad13]

for world war 2 airsoft would not work. MOST of the battles fought are to far in range for airsoft guns to go. So they use blanks

[KlausGunther]

@fxcat123

because they cost too much and its gay...

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@fxcat123 - No one needs paint splatters all over an expensive uniform, that's why.

[twinkie116]

could be any war or even a police shootout but I live near Kingston so hit me up the nnext time you want to play guns

[marleynrs8]

how do you decide when you get hit? is it like just common sense and you know it would have got you? or is it pre planned?

[tatetalk]

i think they use, what the cops use in live shooter training ("paint bullets" or training rounds)

[marleynrs8]

im not sure though,they sound like blanks.

[manwolfy2]

@marleynrs8 unless its planned usually its just if a barrel is pointed at u and u see a flash ur dead

[marleynrs8]

ok thanks. that makes sense.

[PajamaShark9]

It's based on a trust system, so yes, common sense, I guess. If you see some chappie spray you down with submachine gun from a couple metres away, then you go down, etc.

[marleynrs8]

@PajamaShark9 ok thanks.

[88pie88]

LOL

[EligosPoltergiest]

I didnt know there were ww2 reenactments in the us. I would definitly fight on either side.

[RatedAlex]

The egrman at the end dies and the medic is just strolling afew feet from him like nothing is going on, lol

[RushEvolution]

so boring!

they play war!?!

das is doch so unrealistisch...xD

ihr seit es nich wert deutsche uniformen anzuhaben!

drecks amis!

[supernole100]

Or recreate history you ignorant fool!

[RushEvolution]

they are just playing war! no history

[supernole100]

So are you telling me that the Gettysburg and Revolutionary war reenactor's are just "playing war?" Because they are the same as what these fine men are doing just different generations. So stop being ignorant, and if you think its "dumb" why do watch these videos?

[BubbaGump0722]

where do you get the rifles and guns

[GarrettCS]

CMP

[himmler251]

ANNISTON ALABAMA BABY sadly they only sell american made arms

[XBOXORANGEJUICE]

same place you get any other guns.

[88M325TC]

RECRUITING! The 83RD Armored Recon Battalion (3RD AD) from the Kingston MA area is seeking individuals for our ranks. Outstanding allied unit, great people and lots of fun! Message me for more info!

[historywizzzz]

how bout axis

[Mrobeson]

I had no idea ww2 soldiers were fat and middle aged.

[88M325TC]

hahaha i kno right

[Brettboat]

Towards the end of the war most of the Germans were young men 16-22 and old men 35-45

[XBOXORANGEJUICE]

I was reading a book about when delta force first formed. One guy who was training for the first group of people through delta force was sent into the rubble of berlin with a panzerfaust and a uniform that was too big. His orders were to kill a soviet tank. He escape two soviet prison camps and eventually settled down in america after the war. He was only 16.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@Brettboat - I'd have to strongly disagree that a 16 year old is a, "man", or that 35-45 years is, "old". lol 

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@Mrobeson - In WWII, with Nazi Germany being so soundly defeated, towards the end of the war they pressed just about anyone who could hold a gun into service, including young teenage boys, old men of 60 years old, etc.

[coS1x]

what about latinos trying to play as the germans? can they do this?

[seanhoeltje]

hey i'm filipino american and i did a couple of reenactments. i was 25th inf. in Georgia *USA* and they didnt mind at all. i also played once as a german..never see a tan german before eh? :P

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@coS1x - Anyone can join a re-enactment group, as they are not racist bastards, as the Nazi Germans were.

[88kingtiger]

great vid keep up da good work

[stukadbomber]

Does anyone here no of any good massachusettes,rhode island or maine ww2 reenactor groups cause i would like to join but idont know of any

[depthcharge83]

I don't know of any, but I too am someone from the new england area that would like to get into ww2 reenacting.

[Orochimaru4eva]

Third Panzergrenadier Division

[1stInLine1979]

Of course Latinos can, it was blacks that didnt get to fight much, they mostly drove trucks because of racial issues.

[dean694791]

During World War II, more than 53,000 Puerto Ricans served in the U.S. military.

[Suchite]

Hey if you Latino can you still do this?

I know that not many latinos and the african americans did not take part in the war because of the racial issues back then so well i need to know

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@Suchite - Yes, you can. The re-enactment groups are not racist bastards like the bastards in Nazi Germany were.

[88M325TC]

THATS OUR SITE!!!!!! 83rd Recon (3RD AD)

[Suchite]

how do you know if your hit?

[123123000000]

maybe they use airsoft paintballs who knows

[CrazyRamadi]

we used real rifles with blanks when i did it

this isnt my unit though

[glorfindel17]

not at this event

[88M325TC]

ya pretend!

[88M325TC]

ya pretend ;) (its kind of gay at some points, but its still fun)

[Suchite]

oh okay cool but if your hit does that mean your out or?

[glorfindel17]

Your out for that engagement, you fall down, remove your helmet, and then after the immediate fighting is done, you find your squad leader.

[Suchite]

oh thats still pretty cool

[glorfindel17]

If you see someone point a rifle at you and fire, your supposed to take your hit.

[Suchite]

does not answer question ~_~

[sapperdude24]

love the terrain, one of Germans favourite battlefields

[osmox36]

Nice terrain....my unit works out in AZ and NM we have Pine trees...lol.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

Well, I would love to reenact myself, but too bad I'm brown-skinned... "Black" people took no major places in WW2.

[wigglesdabum]

BAH! We couldn't have won the war with out the help of everyone.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@wigglesdabum - America fought and won a two front war in WWII and was the main supplier of munitions and supplies for the Allies. WWII couldn't have been won without the pivotal contributions of America.

[glorfindel17]

Tuskegee airmen, look them up.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

Yes, but that's FLYING, not actual ground combat.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@WaroftheGalaxies - It doesn't matter what color your skin is, as the re-enactment groups are not racist.

[Hereaday]

Awsome vid. I love WW2 and this is one of the best ones if seen on youtube. your only prob. is to show more natzi. keep up the good work.

[trap9876]

this looks fun but if u cant actually get hit then wouldnt that lead to problems like someone just saying ' no i dont think that hit me ' and then carrying on?

[jackmaht]

What do they shoot? Blanks?

[NortherlyNanook]

It's an honor system. In other words, if you would have been hit in real life, you're dead.

[Samsung405]

This is cool and all, but how do you know when your shot?

[Vicious516]

This is so cool. I'm from Kingston MA, but I can't tell where in town this was filmed, all the woods look like this.

[Cromwellpanzer]

I wish I was there

[BelfastBrigade17]

I live like an hour away from this, anybody know how to join

[chilidrew727]

where is this

[zeppowns]

aRE YOU A FUKING RETARD

ITS IN KENSINGTON

[chilidrew727]

i was just asking ass hole

[zeppowns]

ya sorry man

[BelfastBrigade17]

Yeah, wrong actually, KINGSTON Mass. Honest mistake.

[zeppowns]

ya i know i was thinking of maryland

[fafa1944]

very very good.

[BelfastBrigade17]

This is friggin awesome. I've got a uniform together of the Deutscher Volksmark and am about to purchase a K98, how would a join this unit or one like it?

[schultz234]

COOL but i don't know if i would call it D-Day!!!

[StikmanxPictures]

the one german had an italian submachine gun! pretty cool though.

[subscooby]

any soldiers moving that slowly and clumsy, and seeking cover behind small trees, would be rewarded with a quick death.

[Jptruitt1]

looks good, but everyone is acting as an individual...just shooting their weapons....An FJ unit was highly skilled at tactical maneuvers...it would have been nice to see them with an mg42 tearing away and a quick flanking man. and this battle would have been over mach schnell

[rushlander]

where is the MACHINEN PISTOLE40.. mp40???

[Gunthersss]

this is the only way history lives on thorogh reenacting and book this in a sence brings a look on what happened in a sence back then. So if you think this is stupid, you sir are stupid yourself. And most reenactors not seeing real action my father and my unit leader did so bite me.

[andrewjohnmasters]

I didn't fight in ww2 but i did fight on the ground in Fallujah about 4 years ago and I agree with subscooby 2 comment above yours, anything short of a sprint and you'd end up dead, even with support fire. They just need to research tactics of the era and get them right. By the way. It's "sense" not "sence"

[captianblumpkin]

What is the point of war reenactments and do you ever notice that the people who participate in them never saw combat. The only thing more foolish than a war reenactment is the actual war itself

[boats752]

yeah you are right reenacting is stupid, best to get all our history from the liberal biased run education system

[Stugace]

Very nice, I'm still trying to build up my FJ uniform so I can participate in things like these.. already got my Kar98k ;)

[NortherlyNanook]

You can call it the Stg44, since it was the Sturmgewehr 44 (pardon my spelling if that's wrong). However, since it was seen at first as an upgrade of the Mp40, it was also called the Mp44. Either ought to be correct.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

Is there anyway I can download this video? If anyone knows, please let me know.

[nicschemicalromance]

you can download the video by copying the part pext to the video that says 'embed' and paste it into a myspace or something.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

Meh, thx for responding to letting me know, but I found a website where you can post the video's URL, then download it. Thanks anyway.

[nohomers232]

STG44!!!!

[MamasandPapas]

isnt the other name for stg44, mp44?

[tyton94]

yes it is.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

I love the sounds and the quality of this video. I love the sound of real guns, but... The guns have absolutely no recoil, the reenactors could at least put recoil into the guns.

[bluecaboose]

Dam some of these groups have to get together and do a hill 400 reenactment that would so beat all these hands down =)

[dhcornwall]

Cool, I've just finished our 3rd ww2 film called frontline, check it out.

[Davorius]

which weapon is the german paratrooper firing at 00:48 minute? looks like the italian moschetto gun, quite rare

[WaroftheGalaxies]

Its an Mp41, looks just like an Mp40, except with a different stock, and handle grip. It's hard to kinda see on this video, but if you see it up close, you'll see what I mean.

[dansterrrr]

A TREE IS NOT COVER 7.62/7.92 3.03 will go straight through it and into you!

[PyramidHeadX]

Is this a group because I live in MA and am looking for some reenactment groups! let me know guys :)

[martinithechobit]

ya this can't be airsoft, just a reactment. NONE are wearing googles, i admit paintballs has more pain but still a bb in the eye from a average stock airsoft can still cuase damage, and ya it was to be blanks becuase those "firing" sounds are huge.

[haakon69wylie]

dint listen to warwckbassit hes just a gay paintball mannabe hat hates everyone that doesnt blow him

[Shadow7988]

are you guys using airsoft gun models that come with caps to make the cracking sounds?or are those blanks?

[candj]

warwckbassist, dont be a fucking fanny, "GRAND-DADDY'S UNIFORM" that offends the vertarns who died for shits like you! reenacting is cool and look cool and if these people enjoy it then hats off to them. I think being a youtube 'hater' is a far shitted hobby, so fuck off!

[DGatsby]

that looks like so much fun!

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

I'd never do it, but it does look like fun. I'd be in a bosnian civil war group or something, where you just grab any old rifle, drink a bottle of turps and attack the nearest farmer. I'll start today.

[Nackavich]

i thought that was pretty cool, nice work.

[BakerSkat3r]

awesome

[abstractthreat]

WW2 reenacting is a very small group, not like civil war or napoleonic.

Basically if you see a gun leveled at you and it goes off, that's when you take a hit.

But yeah, less smiling, and more yelling would be nice.

[DEDFX]

Where in kingston was this?

[glen25]

u need less smiling more shouthing and scearming. peppo shouting MEDIC!! and GET THE FUCK DOWN!! and dont for ge ARGGH!!! AM HIT!! and mabiy some explosoins if u can.

[Vinco]

haha, well, they'd need a hell of a lot more guys and a hell of a lot more money. it'd be cool as hell if someone sponsored something like that. maybe something in a more urban environment(more sniping =D). as for the explosions, maybe a red powder of some sort could work.

[warwickbassist]

whats the point of this?? i really dont get it. i mean is it like a big paintball match? do you play cops-n-robbers too?? i mean this is kiddie stuff... why dont you find a hobby rather than play in your grad-daddys ol uniforms.

[Vinco]

look for a candj in these comments. and dude, we'd still be stuck in The Depression if it hadn't been for WWII. those grand-daddies that you're talking about saved everyone's asses. re-enacting is a hobby you numbnut

[mozzaman]

It IS a hobby you wally : )

Look into reenaction more and you'll see it's more than just playing with your 'grad-daddys ol uniforms', whatever that means.

[WaroftheGalaxies]

lol, how can you tell if you get shot lol? do they just pretend?

[lionzion77]

Warofthegalaxies they shoot paint ball like bb ammo that blow up and turns red on contact

[chazzrobbo]

yer it does look like fun im makeing a film about world war 2 go 44DOG GREEN AND WATCH THAT IM MAKEING ANOTHER TRAILER WITH ABIT OF FILM IN IT OK HOPE U WILL WATCH MY FIM FANX . CHAZZ

[privatesnowball]

me likey but mine is gonna be better ^^

[rumhead666]

I'd be running through there shooting and firing yelling BOOM HEADSHOT! BOOM HEADSHOT! I CAN DANCE ALL DAY!

[AirsoftinInTheHeazy]

LMFAO! DOUBLE KILL TRIPPLE KILL, KILLTACULAR KILLAMANJARO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[radar951]

I am a world war two reenactor and this stuff is good

[mewlewis]
