Hello everyone.
As you can see, I am quite new here to the forum. I've reenacted in the past as a WWI doughboy and WWII G.I., but have not done either for some time now. I have also dabbled in collecting WWII U.S. Navy. Well, I now willing to forego all of my past activities, and jump straight into WWII Germany. Due to a fondness of the outdoors and mountainous terrain, the Gebirgstruppen is to be my way ahead.
I am currently not affiliated with any reenactment unit or organization but will look for one soon enough. Being highly finicky about the small details [a curse from my father], I value the input of others that have "been there, done that" along with mega-doses of personal research. This, and camaraderie is why I am here.
I am not one for public battles, and prefer either private ones, or unit training events instead. A further nudge for choosing Gebirgsjäger are the images of "Project Edelweiss" and the camaraderie displayed by the attendees. I realistically may not ever make it over to Europe to attend one, but that doesn't mean a fella' can't dream!
I'm glad to be here, and look forward to our future correspondence,
David
