World War II Reenactment

[SocialNetworkWhore]

I shed a tear over this, I was and still claim my position of PFC in the 90th Inf Division 359th Reg Company B back in IL. I now live in CO and to this has given me a good hope of finding a good re-enacting group out here.

[himmler251]

just a note to the german in the front of the formation, you cannot execute an about face when at present arms, only at order or shoulder arms

[Philbert247]

I was there and at 2:50 the bombs blew up the opposite way the plane was flying

[506th101airborne1]

@Philbert247 yeah bc buy the time the bomb hit the ground the plane was past it

[domintor3]

very good! thats the first WWII reenactment i've seen were the planes actually shoot! most just fly around and do nothing. very impressive: 5 stars.

[ZeppelinFreak13]

[scatman765]

[LostHemingway]

Why was it with that woman running around? Is it one of the reenactors girlfriend and they just wanted to let her participate?

[magicstorm1]

[DarkPrincess1367]

We love this part of the exhibition, really looking forward to the 6th this year and hope to see ya'll there again! We plan to have our Sonerai IIL done and there this year. Also, Ya'll did a great job on the DVD last year, we bought a copy at Odells here in Akron and have been working on promotions, I'm sure we will have a great turn out again this year! :)

[mikesk8ter9]

are they using live ammo or blacks

[swedishdude678]

They're using blanks...

[jonvonman]

yeah they are using live ammo and shooting at each other...wow seriously did you think about that one?

[gearhart123]

Nicely done.

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

They do those up in Flagstaff too.

[beexsama]

heh i can't be the only one that thinks that propane tank is out of place xd

[narutofan195195]

ya, its out of place

[FrenchVanilla32]

Hey I live in CO, I didn't know they had WW reinactments. I've been in a American Revolutionary war one though, we did the Battle of Saratoga.

[lakotadak]

wow nice wwII Reenactment

[ctb540888]

ive seriosly been thinking of getting into reinactment of WWII i do a volonteer moutinman reinactment but where would the be the best place to get WWII reinactment ithems and where would i find a group

[82Airbornereenactor]

it depends on what you wish to so, German, American, British, Canadian, Infantry, Airborne, Engineers, Rangers, etc...

[ctb540888]

airborne or rangers

[82Airbornereenactor]

in that case, do TONS of research on Rangers and Airborne, narrow it down and then find a unit who portrays that, as you can see, I did 82nd Airborne, 504th PIR, and joined H. Co. once I joined my unit

[jebusfire]

yes they are blanks.

To become one: spend 2000 dollars and join a group. seriously.

[askvideos1]

How do you become a WW2 reenactor?

[junglewalk]

Brilliant!

[Will725]

p-52 not b-52 retard!!!!!

[jimmytj999]

A p-52 is a mustang, a b-52 is a bomber.

[DoubleBassist1]

A Mustang is a P-51, not P-52.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I really love this hobby...

Where else can you collect machineguns, shoot them using blanks in public, and pretend for a day that you are back in time 65 years ago?

It's JUST PLAIN FUN.

[stolenpantsproductio]

uh huh

[stolenpantsproductio]

uh huh

[stolenpantsproductio]

uh huh

[OrangeWeiner]

i highly doubt they'd waste a b-52 on a few germans unless hitler was there

[williammonhakkar]

i thought that it could have been a lot better...looked like they up against 5 german hiding behind a barricade with a PROPANE TANK propped against right in front of them.

[Gahlgarath]

Superb!!!

[victoriaboy55]

wow thats good for a reenactment. are those blanks

[helmutfrosch]

The german re-enactment group is

kampfgruppevonrybus and has a website.

[OberKanonier]

Trust the FG to harass the French!

[nicschemicalromance]

awsome video! do you or anyone who is reading my comment know of and reenactors or reenactment groups in australia? thanks

[JaDuetschland]

JAAAA Germans kick ur ass  almost very close though

[redwallfan94]

For those of you viewers who are not aware, the German soldier at the beginning is shouting, "Hande Hoche" which means, "Hands Up"

[666IcedEarth666]

amazing!!!

[NortherlyNanook]

These are blanks. However, since this is a public event, it is probably scripted, so I'm assuming that's how people know when they're hit. I prefer the "competition"-like events, however, where hits are based on an honor system, and the actions of the different sides are not scripted.

[junglecruise1911]

My God! An Allied vehicle took a hit!

[Oggie389]

oh my god andrew...thats hot

[mouse737]

how can i get to be apart of some thing like this

[Phoris991]

is this using BBs or something? or is it like all completely planned out? sorry if i sound like an idiot i just want to know how they know when they're hit

[chilidrew727]

no hum blanks

[Tjenilvec]

pffff... that defenitely give a taste of what happened... very much impressive!

[jakeingj]

hello i like the new video i am a member of the Colorado Kampfgruppe but i didnt make this event but it looks like i missed a good one

good job

[PeakImpact]

I know the German side is the Colorado Kampfgruppe (sp?) and the American side is primarily based out of Cheyenne, WY. This was filmed at the 2006 National Radial Engine Exhibition in Akron, Colorado. This year's NREE is Sept. 8th. For more info on the NREE, you can go to my channel and view a promo video about it. Hope to see everyone there!

[FireMan1240]

What reenacting unit are in this video, and where was ti shot?

[donex101]

was this at world war two weekend at Redding PA?

[firefromheavan]

Nice video, I'm there every year from the time they started using live explosives! I wouldn't miss it!

[Stugace]

Damn SS, beating up civilians because they got nothing better to do..

no honor!

-Hans the Fallschirmjäger

[notla]

reenacting is truly one of the only ways to understand what the soldiers went through.
