I occasionally wear parts of my SS uniform in public, like ski hat, great coat and that has insignia on it, I don't give a rats arse... as axsis re-enactors we'll always get pissed on, all we can do is carry on with what we're doing and show "those people" that we won't be pushed aroundmissyd wrote:You're right!
The president of BRO was arrested in Belgium a few years ago .... He thought it was OK to wear a SS uniform in public .... spent some hours (or days) in jail!
Sadly we do not have a picture to prove it .... just witnesses ...
Never mind ... we are ok and time we'll see who wins the war ...

I think your just a tad wrong there. YOU might not give a rats arse - But those of us who have fought and sparred and tussled for years DO.
YOUR actions reflect on a community. But increasingly mate - you strike me as an individual. Someone who is gonna do what he farking wants regardless.....
You have been one of these "axis re-enactors" how long? So how much piss have you had poured on you?
Who pushes us around? I think you will find no one does in the UK...
Wear what you want, where you want - Our Grandads and Grandma's fought for your right to do that. But when you're on the front of the Sun shopping in Sainsburys and some ethinc minority or fringe political or sexuality group makes a fuss......... remember just what you were standing up for....... Won't you?

Re: The reason for the anti-Waffen-SS disclaimer
Look at our society today, don't you watch the news.. look at whats happening to this country and I'm not just talking about imigration, look at our politicians, the youth, these streets gangs, look at whats happening, the point I try to make is that Nazi Germany never had these problems, their society wasn't perfect, but it was a start.. we should look to the past if we want to save this once great country.. because if things continue the way they are then its all but over

Bottom line!
The wearing of the 'national emblem' is offensive to people who have suffered directly under nazism, and to wear such articles in public outside of an event is at best extermely naive!! It is nothing to do with ethnic this or that !! Always be aware of the baggage!! I will say no more!!

Point taken...
What ever I say on here seems to get peoples backs up... I don't mean to... even though it may seem like it...

Go into politics. But we (especially those who wear National Socialist uniforms and symbols) WIill not and should not engage in political posturing, debate and statements on a forum such as this. It's a given.
Maybe what you say is not for this forum? Maybe you're into this for a slightly different vibe than the majority of us? I dunno - I'll wait until I've met you....... Then I'll tell you - politely and quietly in my professional opinion. If you ask me..........
For now - tone down the quasi neo socialist rants and indignations. Leave politics at the door and concentrate on the whacky hobby you are getting yourself involved in..... Cos when we cone on here we dont' give a chuff about the big wide world. It's about wool and leather and guns that don't work..... verstehen?
Re: The reason for the anti-Waffen-SS disclaimer
I understand what ya mean sorrow its just we have to be really careful what we say because you know what the medias like, its not like they spend any time reporting a decent story lol
Political stuff shouldnt really be discussed on the open forum or on any forum really or at events, just a rule keep yer politcal beliefs out of reenactment which can be hard but we protray a slightly contraversial subject matter (mind you it aint as bad as the boys doing british paras in certain areas over here ) so the less attention the tabloid journalists give us the better.
And ive also been known to wear my m43 cap out n about (although i pull the bit of wool with the buttons up alittle which then covers the insignia) i actually just like wearing the thing and loads of people complemented me on it n thought it looked good!
I told the girls it came in a range of colours too

Marc please SHUT UP.
This is not the place to air your politics and what you spout on about reflects on all of us. Soldat 44 will not stand for it so step of your soap box and think about what you are typing in future.
