starting threads for his own glorification again








Does look spot on mind

the fact people - including some so called historians - don't actually know their history - is no reason not to reenact some of the finest formations of this or any war. All armies are fighting for political ends and on behalf of political masters - wether they want to do so - or wether they agree w...

Having said that - I have no objection to HJ and BDM uniforms - and would hope that most don't. and they are also political uniforms - although ones that folks had little choice about wearing. And although folks like to pretend its not the same thing - the scouts both here and in the US were just as...

Algemain uniforms are not worn in the feild - so they are completely out of place at most reenactments. Do people do a proper German homefront parade wearing them ? no you just get promenaders giving out handy newspaper headlines. Would I be "offended" by a proper German homefront parade w...

Most German reenactors draw the line at the algameine uniform - as it is a purely political uniform and not a military one. So there really is no nead to wear it. (and its generally only worn by fuckwit promenaders) While those who portray the combat troops of the Waffen SS shouldent have to constan...

For many, the line is crossed when a re-enactor chooses to portray the SS. This is the point at which they have chosen to represent willing Nazi Party members: fanatical National Socialists willing to die for their cause, and the men who committed the majority of German wartime atrocities. By takin...

over wraps / shirt - either - depends on the wether Most normandy shots show the wrap worn.

awards - some wore on the leather - but not common - mostly left on the wrap.

Metal buttons shown in all the pics I just checked.

He is slaging off W-SS reenactors.

they werent U-Boat uniforms - they were Italian navy.

Most commonly 2nd Battalion 12ss Panzer regiment. though also seen elswhere in 1st SS panzer corps.

not sure why they would be changing buttons ?

Good advice from Olly, Panzer Wittman,grenmartens, and valid point form dixiedrummer = although i think it is maybe over done for the Division as a whole - while most folks reenact the parts of the division that had the highest issue of cammo - rather than various supporting units that recieved less...

feuerwerker wanted to know what they wore in 44-45 You said it was all Palm tree other folks said either a mix or mainly plane tree (not much palm tree) You back peddled and said you meant at kursk - which is irrelavent to the question (and they wore plenty of plane tree then as well) you were wrong...

Yep - back peddling when youre proved wrong is really helpfull.

"Prey tell me with your much superior knowledge on the subject where ive been talking bollocks "

I already did - pretty much everything you have ever said in your entire life!

well thats the problem - you are to blame - but seem to keep escaping it ?
