  • don't take your hits or anything... that tree will definitely protect you from a rile shot.... NOT.

    

  • @D3ADs1LeNcE1 Yeah I think he knows the Nazi's were a German political party. What he means is that the German army was mostly comprised of conscripts and 9/10 of the army didn't believe in killing the Jews. They did it out of fear for their own lives.

  • @D3ADs1LeNcE1 German troops are not evil they had to fight for there country like us the evil ones are the nazi they are the ones who started the Europian war and ww2

  • @D3ADs1LeNcE1 of course they werent evil.. they are people. we are people. they have their views, we had ours. hangin black people's alright but killin jews isnt. we wouldnt have gotten in the war if japan didnt bomb us, and it sure as hell wasnt because of the camps. because if it was, then we wuldve been there from the start. yeah it wasnt right, but that dosent make them evil. i'm sure 90% of the stories out of these work camps were fishermens stories, as in exaggerations.

  • @D3ADs1LeNcE1 good and evil are points of view.

  • What would I need to do to get into reenactments? I have always wanted to do this. Originally for the civil war but the ww2 reenactments seem very cool.

  • are you shooting whit real bullet ??

  • I can imagine that the real war actually looked like this, and the German soldiers in the West consisted of children and old men because real men were needed on the Eastern Front

  • Why are the ppl laughing at the Germans

  • Great video I love the part where the german tells you the P-38 doesnt fire. Its great. Makes the hobby look more fun rather than all the bullshit that can be present at a ww2 reenactment.

  • this is in Rockford, IL? i was bored there too, but not THAT bored :))

  • if theyre laughing a germnas dieing then shame on them. But americans dying thats another thing, vietnam was just one long lololololololololol

  • 2:37 looks like it came from COD

  • wow these guys are farbs. standing behind trees: Farb. random guy video taping in the middle of the reenactors: Farb. laughing at the dead germans: Farb. this looks like a really stupid event coming from a reenactor standpoint.

  • @mspade83 i'd agree with you on a few points but in any war you'd be wise to use trees as cover. Laughing at dead germans is unacceptable. This is normally an amazing event. I'd recomend going as there was over 1000 reenactors there last year. This is a sad video. What was he dooing filming in the senerio? A combat camera man would not be armed.

  • @charlieChanning oh yeah i agree fully about the tree thing, only youd be laying down. standing/crouching behind a tree still exposes a large portion of your body. when you lay behind it, only your forearm and a slight portion of your head sticks out from around the tree

  • i really want to reenact but im to young

  • why did they hand him hes gun and not shoot him

  • you guys r good

  • HEY I LIVE IN ROCKFORD I WAS THERE!!!

  • i know it is to show ppl what war is like, and stuff, but it still looks pretty fun.

  • wow, never never NEVER think about shooting someone that close with a blank fire weapon.

  • i saw you filming this

  • Hello Matthew,

    It's Bonnie

    I filmed the Ft. Macarthur Reenactment over a 3 year period in HD.

    It can be seen on my youtube channel, alphaember

  • you shouldnt touch another reenactors weapon unless you have permission because you dont know if they have it on them for the tactics or this display it may not be blank adapted and also walter p38 are expensive

  • this is disgusting. why are they making fun of the germans and laughing when they die?

  • @joker9494949494 i agree

  • @joker9494949494 I am offended.....

  • @joker9494949494

    Because the zionist Jews who run the media have taught Americans to torture. See David Duke's video "Hollywood Basterds". It should enlighten you a little. Americans really believe that they're people fought for their own nation? Americans in WWII fought for communism and international jewry.

  • @MyAccount45431 You are a NUT. Don't clog a reenactment video with this political crap. Im not taking sides but your out off line with your comments.

  • @joker9494949494 more like they were having fun and laughing when they died

  • @joker9494949494 why not?

  • @GIANTWARTITAN because we are humans too, and we fought and bled for our country same as you, we dont persecute you and make you suffer for war crimes against japan i.e. bombing a two civilian citys the size of new york, not to mention the camps you put the japanese into after pearl harbor. 200 years of slavery. you really think germans are so bad now? how would you feel if in german reenacments they killed amercians and made them beg for life only to "kill" them? disqusting indeed.

  • @joker9494949494 its not disgusting its war and i could understand how the germans would laugh at an american soldier dying why because we were their enemys what should we feel sorry for our dying enemys? do you feel bad that we killed nazis? i dont think so and if you do feel sorry for them then theirs something wrong with you btw their not german at this point in time they were all known as nazis all of them and you forgot about how the nazis killed innocent men women and children never forget

  • @GIANTWARTITAN so if youre american then youre known as democrats, all of you. everybody in america is a democrat because their leader is. War isnt disgusting? it is. Killing somebody shouldnt give you pleasure, even if they are your enemys. yes i do feel bad that people like you are misleaded. politics arent always instilled into the people. schindler was a nazi huh? he saved thousands of jews and he was German. insensetive bastard.

  • @joker9494949494 omfg there just reenactors your taking this to seriously also not everyone in america is a democrat ok, about 50% of people dont like our president ,

  • @39ctg that was exactly my point... but yes it is wrong to feel that way even if its intended as a "game". how can war be a game..

  • @joker9494949494 germans are dumb fucks from dumbfuckistan. plus they killed tons of people of the jewish religion and its cool for some payback and funny

  • @Patrick0540

    Get over it.

  • @Mraccstudio Blow off

  • @Patrick0540 Actually if you know anything about WW2... The german soldiers knew nothing about the killing of jews. Only high ranking SS officers, (Ex: Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler), and the SS soldiers at camps knew about it, and not all of them were proud of doing it but they did it anyway because they would be charged with treason and possibly sentenced to death.

  • @joker9494949494

    You have to figure that alot of these people know the reenactors or are kids that just laugh at people falling down and find simple things funny. They have no understanding of what this is portraying. Also, some people are just ignorant. Pure and simple.

  • @joker9494949494

    It's pretty funny actually

  • @joker9494949494 feelings are very different from laughing when reenacting in a country which was occupied by the germans; I guess these americans believe they are watching some kind of circus, so they laugh...

  • This is embarrassing, you should be ashamed, vets watch this.

  • @talleman1 why is it embarrassing? It is way to remember what are soldiers did

  • omg omg this looks so fun

  • that looks so fun

  • Is this rockford illinois?

  • @Thelrishbill, i cant understand that people who have seen the horror of war are still re-playing (yes, i use the word play) it.

    War isnt fun you know..... and i dont have to be in a war to say that.

  • I am a "Progressive Reenactor" which means I stray away from the guys who have huge tents filled with coolers and other modern day crap. I spend countless hours researching every facet of life of a soldier would experience. What and how they ate, what they wore, how they slept, etc. I do it for myself as an amatuer historian and to educate the public. I cant reproduce it all but strive to become accurate as possible. War is not fun, understanding some of the things soldiers had to go through is.

  • I have had vets thanking me for keeping the memories of soldiers alive, some have disagreed. BTW eyederrick if you dont like what you are watching then dont watch. Nobody made you watch it and do something better with your life than to criticize something a lot of people appreciate. I understand freedom of speech, but flaming other people for something they enjoy that has absolutely no effect on you is not constructive. Vets who are reenactors would view what you say as a slap in thier faces.

  • I'm very sorry if my comment looked like i'm flaming. That wasn't my intention, again sorry. I just wanted to say (without insulting or so) what my opinion on this matter is, en that war is no fun. After you explained me the way you do your reenacting i must say my respect grows. But mostly i see people who think it's just a game......

    And please, dont say "if you dont like it, dont look" that"s stupid.

  • @eyederrick Noone cares on your opinion.

  • @eyederrick We 're-play' it as you stated, to show the younger generation what soldiers did during the war. If it wasn't for reenactors you wouldn't know the horrors of war and many other things soldiers did back in 1939-45. And how can you say war is hell when you haven't been in war, yes im pretty sure war is hell, but to say that we reenactors can't teach those younger generations to pass onto the next generations so WW2 can never be forgotten? WELL FUCK YOU!

  • love the fire hydrant hope they didn't use it

  • im sick of all these idiotic comments from people who dont understand what re-enacting is about. its about preserving part of your countries history and remembering the sacrifice that was made by your grandparents. sure these guys do enjoy dressing up and "pretending to be soldiers" they are also passionate collectors of military equipment from uniforms to tanks. im glad these guys are doing their bit to educate the public and themselves on something that should never be forgotten about

  • the 101st are all a bunch of band of brothers wanna-bes

  • i hate the reenacting events with people standing around, like the people in the back there

  • " hey can i borrow your rifle? it doeesnt work." lol

  • how old do you haved to be to join renacmints

  • @SSsoldat1 usually 18, because you have to be able to use a rifle

  • i dont understand it, grown people playing soldier?

  • @eyederrick Please dont use the word "play", they are reenacting, play is when you play with dolls or a computer game

  • sorry but when i was a kid, i played battles like that, instead i had a stick as a riffle or so. I still think those are grown man "playing" world war2. Besides real vets would never reenact. War is no game man !!!

  • @eyederrick my stepfather who isa usmc vietnam vet reenacts ww2 and civil war... dont say stuff you dont know

  • Oh man. Please: Dont use germane Wordphrases you hear somewhere - it ruins the whole reenactment.

    A Spy in Uniform - sure :P

  • how do you know if you been shot or if you've been killed?

  • lol YOU GUYS SUCK!

  • Comment removed

  • i know nothing about reenactments, so what do they shoot?

  • Blank rounds. Usually the guns are modified to accomodate a blank round. Bolt actions are not modified.

  • blanks!

  • blank rounds

  • "we got a live one"

    Realllllly?

  • lmao

  • I want to be in a WWII reenactment one day and I'll dress up as a sniper with a springfield! That be pimp! :D

  • Obviously you know nothing about ww2 or reenacting.

  • How? there were snipers in the war.

  • "i wanna be in a reenactment some day and im going to dress up with a sniper rifle and that WIll be PIMP!!" dude WTF man. This isnt a costume contest.

  • wow talk about bad interpretation. I'm saying I wanna reenact as a sniper. You know get the scoped springfield hide in a bush and pretend to snipe the enemy. Also when I say that would be pimp I'm saying it would be really cool to do that!

  • he is a rap maniac ... he's just an asshole

  • haha there is 2 dead germans that are heer one is reg infantry and the other is artilary and the last is waffen ss haha

  • i saw this show

  • How old do u have to be to be in a reenactment

  • here in the uk you have to be 16+. Thats usually the age, it might be different in the US.

  • dou you now about reenactment groups in germany ?

  • Not really, you will have to go to a reenactment group's website and look under the recruitment page. It will explain things.

  • Its not always 16+.

    if you do brit para or something its 16+ but american units usually have a different age group

  • if youre in the US it varies by states,where I am in NY you have to be sixteen to handle black powder...so you can be in a group you just cant shoot lol,but for other states its differant like in PA I think its 14 or 15...also every group in differant so you have to take that into account

  • In my organization it's 16 to be a medic and 18 to have a weapon

  • @centerfuge963

    HRS Battles are 18+...

    TSG is 17+ with a parent.

  • @centerfuge963 - Any age althought being 18+ helps. I started at age 16.

  • @XBOXORANGEJUICE

    im starting with the 101st at 14 :D

  • @centerfuge963 14 years old but for some groups 16

  • I hate how the Americans will NOT take a hit! I used to reenact with my father and it was the same thing each time. It was always much more fun to go against the Russians... and not at public events.

  • i noticed that. when i get all the proper gear and start reenacting, (in Rockford, btw), I'll be sure to accept my hits. i mean, even though we know the Americans are going to win, at least have a casualty list. anyways, it was still a good reenactment. nice vid.

  • I really want to start re in acting, but I don't even know where to start.

  • Where are you located? What do you want to reenact as? I do Russian in WW2. Look me up on youtube, and send me a PM.

  • @Icedhope What country you live in I could get an renacting group for you.

  • @Icedhope Ask Petrwarry you will find him on youtube if you watch alot of reenactment videos, he is a professional in reenactment he''ll help you.

  • @Icedhope check out worldwartwohrs. org if ya find a unit in here your curious about call them. They should help you out. If your from WI, IA, MN or ND shoot me a message and i'll help ya as much as I can.

  • @Icedhope it all starts in your mind. and eventually ends there as well. sooner than you think :))

  • @Icedhope Yeah, I need some advice too D;

  • @Icedhope im in reenacting and its really fun I joined a facebook local group and bought a uniform and I was in!

  • doesn't look realistic with people watchin war is not a play!

  • hey it was kids who were laughing when he died and we are not stuip and if you hate this country then get the hell out of here

  • awesome.

  • hahahaha see what i mean?

  • this reenactment looked lame, especially when the crowd laughed or cheered when a German died thats so disrespectful. stupid Americans

    but i do love reenacting its a good thing to have

  • Most of the general public believe that all germans who lived during ww2 were nazis and loved hitler. Not all germans agreed with hilter or fought for hitler. Some fought for the same reasons americans and other countries did, family, defend the country, were drafted, and so on. The SS were the people who thought hitler was the best man ever and swore oaths to serve for him.

  • Well said my man

  • and you forgot Fear.The Nazi's basically threatened the Germans into fighting for and supporting Hitler.If it was up to the German people most of them wouldn't follow or support the Nazis at all.

  • ur a fucking douche u queer, go bend over salute hitler AND SUCK 1 U NAZI DOUCHE BAG

  • how am i a nazi. you're a joke man. and p.s. the caps suck

  • Is this Rockford Michigan???

  • no its rockford illinois

  • just mere hours away until d-day

  • This is real cool.

    And it would be a fun thing to be apart of.

  • cool. rockford, wa? or idaho. i forget which state. but is it one of those

  • look i'm sorry, but fully grown men who dress up as auctual soldiers and pretend to shoot guns at eachother really need to get a life! it it wasnt so pathetic it would be funny

  • We are teaching the public history of the second world war; how they dressed, fought, ate, lived in that time. How else to learn better than to watch a "real life" battle, And to see the weapons they used, and how each side fought. Sometimes they aren't always men, women also reenact, same with teens like my sell. So i don't see how reenacting is pathetic!

  • go suck some balls. i think you should think what you say you cock sucker

  • You guys are good!

  • lol can i use your rifle? it doesnt fire haha! o man you guys suck!!!!!!!

  • is that where i saw his helmet move and stuff that was funny now i no what you guys were doing

  • This looks pretty cool lol. I hoping to reenact for the 101st in a unit, that i believe, is based in Rockford.

  • did u use airsoft guns

  • no we use blank firing weapons

  • how do u know if u died

  • lol its if there not moveing or you kick them i guess thats what id do or shoot them

  • well when a rifle is pointed at you and fires its pretty obvious of we sometines have referres

  • lol i can never take these seriously

  • i want to go to one of these renactments

  • cool

  • do they use bullets or blanks?

  • lol blanks

  • What kind of question is that?!? they'd kill each other!

  • i live in rock ford michigan what a quwinsidence

  • this is rockford, il...

  • sweet

  • "Sie ist ein Spion." :D:D:D

  • rotfl "you guys suck"

  • ha in 5th grade i took a field trip there i think isnt that place like civil war usually

  • this is rockford il right cuz if not i live right downdown rockford mi

  • What was the German P.o.w Saying? sounded like he was pleading for his life lolz.

  • 2:84 was he talking about the p-38 he doesnt know whos this is!!!lol

  • HAHAHA, one of the airborn guys said "She is a spy" in german ! :D

  • Rockford il right?I live like 2 hours away.

  • GREAT VIDEO

  • ahh are the Amis using their invincible shields again ? LOL hilarius how none of them ever die, but we have them shiting their pants during a tactical, going against the Germans is madness

  • i no in the von kessingers express here in florida they never did die(look up von kessingers express battle 3 here on youtube)

  • how can i get into a reenactment group?? were do you do these reenactments?

  • google this- ww2 reenacting groups in (where you live).

  • how do you tell if you get shot or not??

  • Honor system is how you tell if your shot or not. We use real rifles with blanks. When you see someone shooting at you well you take your hit.

  • i had this one guy in my division and he brought live ammo by mistake. ( or so we think )

  • of course there using blanks its an reenactment who would put real bullets in the guns

  • we had a dumbass in the 1st lsah down here in alabama that accidentaly brought live ammo lol

  • are they using blanks

  • hey just a question what r u doin reenacting with a defective k-98????

  • Some people cant afford working rifles....some buy dummy rifles or maybe his rifle broke during the event and doesnt have a replacement.

  • wouldn't a guy with a camera in the battle look sooo unreal??

  • a1wxander123 i think he somehow had the camera hidden. I dont think he was holding a huge camera...as you can tell his hands were free.

  • Everytime i watch this video i think about how well that wounded german soldat did while he was talking to the americans. Great job i would like to know that persons name.

  • nice! i live near here i went to this show and its kinda weird because its the exact same thing as what it was the day i went. awsome!

  • it was probably, then, a real battle in ww2 that they got the whole story from the veterans and used it in this reenactment

  • looks very amature they always do lol

  • Er sprecht Deutsche sehr gut. "NICHT SCHIESSEN!" lol
