"Goeie Dag" from Bloemfontein, South Africa

Post by Bildberichter »

Hi everybody, my name is Bildberichter and I have a Re-enactment problem...

I re-enact mostly Boer/South African military history from 1836 to 1916, but have also gone over to the "dark side" with WW1 and WW2 re-enactment. My Axis impressions include:

1914-1915 DSWA Schutztruppen:

1915 Prussian Pionier/MW Kompanie:

1918 Prussian Pionier/MW Kompanie:

1941: Wehrmacht Propagandakompanie:

1942: DAK Propagandakompanie:

Re-enactment in SA is still small fry, but we have a few dedicated guys that want to do it right. I hope to learn a lot form you guys!

Thanks!

The DSWA tunic was made for a movie. The bandolier, water bottle, bayonet and rifle are original. The boots and gaiters are old BSAP issue. the hat is from my good friend Diethelm Konig in Germany: http://www.kammerbulle.de/

In SA you still get DSWA stuff floating around as most of the equipment surrendered in 1915 came to SA as war booty.
