The World War Two Living History Association in Action

The WW2 LHA is an association of militaria collectors, historians and hobbyists. Their prime aim is to preserve and display the equipment and weapons used in the North-West Europe Theater of Operations during the Second World War, and to remember the people involved in the conflict by accurately portraying them in organized mock battles, living history campsites and public re-enactments. The association provides the means for members to do this in a safe and legal way. We shall continue to present the participants of WW2 in as correct a manner as possible, through dress and behaviour so as to act as a living memorial to them.
Recreate - Re-enact - Remember
As we pursue these aims we shall not allow any political involvement to enter our activities.

Good point, but without those prepared to be the bad guys the good guys cant win.

plus our Germans are just the German version of the Britsh Tommy, fighting for their country too, we have no SS in our association as they are political troops.

My Grandfather was killed in the war by Germans but I feel no anger towards them or reenactors who protray them.

Where you guys located? We portray The Hampshire Regiment here in Chicago. Oh and tsk tsk on you lads, Mk III stens, and postwar gaiters.

What about the Waffen-SS? The combat portion? And yes, at its original formation a requirement was to believe in Nazi ideals, because they were created as body guards. But as the war came to a close most of the SS units were formed from multi-national units that didn't necessarily have to believe in Fascism. Anyway, the reenactors whom portray the SS units aren't actually Nazis, well not really anymore.

Hi Molgram...

As ww2 reenactors / living historians, we are invited to attend many events around the UK and Europe.. which involve not only living history encampments, but battle senarios. and as many of our members own period WW2 tanks, half tracks, jeeps, etc.. we incorperate them into our battle simulations.. so yes.. all what you see are real period armor...

[molgram]

whats the whole idea of the tanks? is it real metal tank? whats its use?

[nuterwes]

BAd guys? Did you know? The Rusians killed a bunch more ppl then the Germans!

[tsmonastero]

when comparing the german tanks to the american, I am surprised we did so well. our tanks seemed like metal coffins.

[Bauhotte]

wich are the bad guys, the Germans?, the Wehrmacht?

Man the bad guys came from the east and brought the comunism to half europe, and Churchill approved that!

So pls don't say anything about good and bad guys!

Nice video and some great pics , some great vehiles and i can understand the point of the renactment and keeping these vehicles for historys sake . one question though i find it a little bit suspect when you get brits dressing up as jerrys , whats the appeal ? i,d feel pretty ashamed personally to wear such kit. so whats the appeal?
