For those of you who still think reenactment is offensive to vets, here is a snippet of an interview with Harry Passage, 88, who fought in Operation Market Garden and earned a Purple Heart :

[Passage] is happy to see the war hasn't been forgotten. World War II made "some of my best memories and some of my worst," Passage said in an interview at his Milwaukee home. "I think (re-enactments) are a tribute. It keeps the name alive.

@bratwurstdimsum I agree, re-enactments are not only a tribute to those who courageously fought during that time but also allowed my generation and those to come to learn and better understand. It's nothing like having a visual aid to shed light on things. And it looks darn fun too.

@vietboi904

Yes but Germany needed to get supplies from the Ukraine region to continue their war effort on BOTH fronts. Thats the key here, HItler would have likely succeded in the east had he not been pressured by the advancing allies.

@amund94 Germany made the same mistake Napoleon made when he entered into Russian territory. They both took the land, terrain, and weather for granted. The German military were poorly equipped for Russia's harsh winters, while the Russians knew how to fight not only against it, but in it. I think, that if Germany would have stopped along the borderline or end the war at that point, they would probably be one of the most powerful nations ever.

I guess it would be cool be on something like that.

though the WWII Nazi Political machine is hated, nobody from that era has any disrespect for German soldiers. they were a tough and brave generation called upon to do an impossible task. these reenactments are a tribute to that and it should also be honored

Nice video. Wish I could have been there to watch. My father served in WW2, first on a B17 and then as an interpreter after he was wounded. Thanks for keeping the memory alive.
