How much does an imitation Garand cost?

[TheStgmp44]

i like the way they pointed out about the helmets,but weres there May West life jackets ? if your going to tell people to do it properly, then lead by example.

[Ten7d5]

@TheStgmp44 If they were in landing craft/re-enacting the actual hitting of the beach you'd be right on. But in reality a lot of things like the life belts were ditched once on the beach. Assault vests were ditched, gas masks were ditched. Some guys even stuffed their rations/personal items in pockets of their HBTs and stuffed clothing into their field jacket tightened by the cartridge belt and ditched their M28 haversacks altogether

[FrizzyTheCrazy]

Isnt That The Exact The Same Place As Cod 2

Sua Sponte...Rangers Lead The Way

[PBneilfm]

i was there



[Mediaimpact]

Soon to be released Battlefield to Remembrance "The Directors Cut" an extended version of the original documentary . New scenes including an interview with Len Lomel 2nd Ranger Battalion who destroyed the German guns at Pointe Du Hoc. The programme explores the hobby of living historians who reenact WW2

[shanesbarry]

I think what they are doing is awesome! Most people in America don't know who was in WW II! Keep what the Veterans did alive!

[billyslo87]

My great uncle was one of Rudder's Rangers. There is a bronze plaque there dedicated to him and telling his story. His name was James Alexander. Two days after they landed he was captured by the German's. He was sent to find their gunner. On his way back he came across a patrol of 6 Germans. He used to say that they pointed their guns at me and said if I came peacefully then they wouldn't shoot and that sounded like a good proposition at the time. He spent the rest of the war in a POW camp.

Thank Moses for America

[WEDhicks]

The guy that starts talking at 2:20 sounds like he has a accent. Dutch maybe?

[finkers91]

@WEDhicks

I also think he's(or they) are Dutch, He has a really Dutch-English accent.

[corvettecrazy262]

2nd Rangers had the orange insignia with on it on the back of their helmet. And they didn't wear regular infantry boots and leggings, they wore paratrooper boots.

[oohrah1996]

thats how you reenact

[KOFilms1]

its so sad that we only lost about 6000 soulders in Afganastan and about 100000 in wwII

[flaps20check]

@KOFilms1 yeah really in afganistan you should lose much more

[RyanHumpy]

@KOFilms1 6000? in afgan dont think so mate

[KOFilms1]

@RyanHumpy yeah cuz we dont have many big battles like in WWII

d-day

battle of the bulge

pearl harbor

okanowa

[RyanHumpy]

@KOFilms1 More to the point you said we've lost 6000 in afgan, dont call me cuz

[SuperPackerBOY]

My great grandad who is still alive in his mid 80's wan't in D-day......but his brothers fought on Iwo JIma

[NothinG21halo]

My grate grandad got torpedoed twice and survived...and he was also in D-Day. He was with the flame thrower unit cooking enemies till golden brown but got blown up.... SADLY!!!

[jordeton8or]

@NothinG21halo to bad but he died as a hero

[cledenalio]

@NothinG21halo And he went through all that just for you to slander his memory on a youtube comment page.

[NothinG21halo]

@cledenalio Yeppp and of course everyone here would think that was bullshit cos that was a memory from me playing call of duty world at war

[wernervgelder]

Re-enacting and living history? I'm all for it on one condition: I'd be happy to provide these clowns the oppurtunity to dig themselves a hole and withstand an hour long heavy artillery barrage first. Survivors would be entitled to wear the uniform in public.

[Cahpper]

haha these pussy actors can go home and wank.. they have nothing to do with the second world war. pussies

[EnterSandman2007]

Thanks those men, the greatest heroes 65 years ago.

[TB8719]

LOL.. first try to speak normal english and then talk about serious re-enacting.. gear, rations, helmets dont make you a better person then other re-enactors.. i just dont get these guys...

[the82spartans]

Deep.

[jakey130486]

posing for photos and eating from ration boxes isn't re-enacting anything. the thing that shits me about these kinda guys is that they spend too much time comparing who has the best gear and looks the part, but if you ask them to jump on the ground n crawl or actually look like their fighting they would look at you as if your crazy cause they might scratch a hole in their trousers. wankers

[chicorawood]

stupid

[WWII1stInfantry]

Only a complete loser would think M1 Helmets are too heavy to wear.

[war542]

@WWII1stInfantry i wore a m1 helmet who the hell said there to heavy lol

[2ndpadrummer]

@WWII1stInfantry just uncomfortable as hell

[Anjo606]

@WWII1stInfantry i would GLADLY wear the whole uniform

[DJViltsu95]

@WWII1stInfantry best comment on this video

[heknowsyouknow]

superb vid ..thought the 5th only wore the wools ..2nd rangers had HBTS ...am part of NORMANDY44 2nd rangers unit here in the uk

[TRUExSIGHTS]

I'm a re-enactor myself, and everything these guys say is totally true. If you don't do it fully, there's no point in doing it. It's al about those who served and died for you, so you should atleast do it the way they had to.

And for those who are asking about stuff for it, you generally buy the uniform and equipment online or from stalls at events or traders. The weapons you can usually only buy from traders, and you generally need to be in a group do get one.

Its all worth it though.

[avalancher34]

Personally, I have mixed feelings about this. Though I feel the reenacting people have positive motives. 1:59 if you are audacious enough, you would serve your country the way they did. That is the ultimate honor to those who fell.

[bountyhunter8750]

yeah, i hear ya on this one. I am a reenactor myself and a majority of the guys in my unit have served, are serving, or will serve in the armed forces at some point in their life. nice vid though

[eirik230696]

call of duty 2?

[Veterankevin]

yessssss

[swayer556]

mmhmm

[tousmane14]

were u get the gear

[mtvcp]

i want to join n i want to know where they get all that gear.

[ianslass]

My father was one of the Rangers and one of the 90 who survived. I think it is is a wonderful tribute to do a reinactment.

[GSpeedEmotion]

@ianslass 90 out of how many rangers?

[dpsantos1994]

±225

[Skimboard06]

*COUGH* posers, sorry

[badfingerJN]

It is great these days to see these people honoring our history in such a way that you don't see a lot of anymore. I often ask myself when it became 'politically incorrect' to not acknowledge such a great heritage and history such as that of America. The men that put on that uniform and that gear were scaling that cliff face known as Point Du Hoc to do their part to save the world. Let us never forget these men or these places. God Bless America.

[oipbhakeld]

i watch these movies and read these books and learn about previous wars like ww2 and before, and let me tell u something, i do not have the balls, not even close, to what those guys who fought in those wars. you know, how did they summon themselves to run into battle when they knew they were fucked? my god man, it just impresses me so much the men who fough on a front line in any war ww2 or previous./

[TRUExSIGHTS]

I know a story of men with balls. A Canadian regiment in the British army right after D-DAY were told to take a Hill held by the SS (Hill 122 or another number similar to that). They marked right up that hill, being cut down by MG42s, and none of them ran or retreated. They kept going, until the SS hitler's dedicated men, stopped firing, because they respected those men, of whom, only three were still walking up the hill. They had the ultimate balls to walk into that kind of fire. God bless them

[TRUExSIGHTS]

i said "marked right up that hill" but meant marched. Sorry brainlapse there.

And that is just one story, there are thousands of others like that. I re-enact just to keep the memory of their deeds alive. And to remember those of my family killed in ww2 and ww1, during the blitz and combat. (I live in the England). and to remember all the others who also died.

[wizart49]
