    I have one in one of my books, but I'll have to dig it out of the garage. Also. I was talking to a German veteran at a reenactment, and he told me how they put into service this chef from paris that weighed 500 lbs so he would cook fine cuisine for the officers

  • @dragon3600000 Please show me an original picture from WWII with a 350lb soldier from either side. Maybe a Gauleiter might weigh 225 or so but they never got near to the front. I have been studying WWII for over 40 years and have never seen a original picture of a morbidly obese German soldier, if you have one to back up your claims, please display it.

    Not everyone was hurt by the depression. Some people made out of it well. If some rich man who weighed 350 lbs in 1944 was capeable of wielding a gun, they would put him on the line dude

  • @dragon3600000 Yes, they put old men and young boys as young as 13 into the Volkssturm at the end but where would they have found someone weighing 350lbs? Germany had been in a depression for many years before the war, then food was rationed during the war, no one should have looked like they grazed at a buffett all day, every day, for years. Reenactors need to slim down if they want to accurately portray people of the WWII era.

    my unit does this battle. however, I noticed your username and i need to know if you're a nazi, or just someone who is interested in the ss?

  • @Bumper511

    well, the germans late in the war would use anybody who could fire a gun

  • when is this can I get a hold of the group that does this?

  • Thank you for posting. It's really cool, except for the fact that I doubt the Wehrmacht would have such obese servicemen in their ranks. It takes away reality to the reenactment. Other than that, a good effort and presentation.

  • amazing :)

  • Why is there always a 350lb slob getting in the pictures, so un-authentic.
