World War 2 Reenacting?

      WWII reenacting has been around since the late 70s but it remains a relative secret compared to other time periods such as US Civil War. If WWII is a period of history you're interested in and you're considering trying out the hobby, let us know. There are many types of groups out there focusing on different aspects of the impression - we'd be happy to help you find the right match. If you're looking for a motorized WWII German Heer (regular army) group that emphasizes authenticity, values Kameraderie, and that can pick from the best invitation-only events due to its excellent reputation, you may be interested in our group.


Membership Info

      Membership in our group requires a high level of dedication and commitment. Potential members should be team players, committed to historical accuracy, comfortable in an out-door environment, and in good physical condition since events are held in a variety of terrains and all weather conditions. Potential members should not be politically motivated in any way. There is a minimum three-event probationary period and annual dues are $50, which covers awards, food at certain events, the unit picnic, and other group related expenses.
