you see, theres the problem with reenacting as a German. You never win, you feel that you must die. As with Americans, theyre less likely to call their hits because they say to themselves, "Im supposed to win." So its like fighting terminators wrapped in Kevlar blankets. You shoot them directly then they turn around and shoot you once and youre suppose to call it. Its ridiculous.
@muffinmanxxx321 Being a GI re-enactor, (yes, I'm in this video. The young kid on the 1919.) I can only give you kudos to that. But, personally, I will take my hits. I like to see how I would've fared in the greatest war of the greatest generation. It's pish-posh on both sides, man. I've "shot' many a german, and they've simply "dodged" and fired back and killed me.
So I was watching this video and I started to hear this rumbling noise in the background. I was like, what the heck is that? Once I realized it wasn't the video I went out\side and found, I shit you not, a B17 flying over my house! They must be having an air show or something at the local airport. Anyway, I thought it was incredibly cool that a B17 just happened to fly over my house, while I was watching this video!
This was at an event at Traxlers Hunting Preserve in 2009. We didn't have to pay or anything. As a matter of fact we were given free food and free ammo for the event. The coordinator hired the camera crew and pyro crew that worked on Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. Thats how we got on camera.
Hedgerows? There's not a single hedgerow in sight :-)

So when did death, even if it is a fake death, become a pleasure to watch?
