Yeah I have HTC rigger pouch’s and I’m picking up a go bag from him at the victory show yeah I agree they are great.
@@WW2_X2 Yes, I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but will get a couple rigger pouches from Nigel soon. Are you going to Victory Show? If so, I’ll see you there! (Sorry if I already mentioned it, my memory isn’t great 😆)
Yeah I’m with 82nd 505th RCT in the woods I will be there tomorrow morning but yeah I’m sure if you asked Nigel kinda he has probably brought a good amount of the riggers to the show because last year that is what he did . ;)
@@WW2_X2 Ok! I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon with the 502 Pathfinders. See you there!
@@Parrotrooper yeah probably not tomorrow because I have a briefing and setting up and blah Blahblahblah but Saturday yeah hopefully if I have time
@@Parrotrooper are you taking part in the battle
When you went on to your M1942 gloves you make me laugh when you did that voice it reminds me of miss drop 44
@@WW2_X2 Hahaha, yes. Name a funny voice and I’ll try and do it on the next video I record (which will probably be in a while).
A hermit the frog 🐸 voice
@@WW2_X2 Ok, challenge possibly accepted, I’ll do a little research.
what group are you in an could you send me a link to it on facebook or website pls
Cool very interesting love the mussette bag what are you going to change about your impression to make it 502nd ?
@@user-zd4vb5pd6q Thanks, not much difference doing 502, the main things are probably the helmet markings and the white cords. Doing 502 then gives me an excuse to have lots of scrim and a British Made item.
@@Parrotrooper yeah
That British made musette is a beauty mate. Great to see you're thriving over in the UK!
Yeah, thanks. I was really excited when I saw that Musette bag, I’m very happy that I went for it.
Most interesting, please keep these bulletins flowing!
I certainly will. Hopefully I'll have more proper content to post soon.
nice setup you got there my friend. thanks for keeping history alive
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I can get some better videos out soon.
Also how was the WW2 show? Would be nice to see some clips from there if you have. Thanks
Yes, I will make a video on those soon.
The items you made look great! They look like from WW2. Thanks for sharing tips of making them.
You're welcome, always happy to help.
Incredible film!
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it.
Again, super underrated! I just can’t worn your content bro! 🪖❤️
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the fact that you're enjoying my videos.
Are you going to Victory Show weekend after next? Me and some mates are hopefully doing a display there as 2nd Armoured. Would love to pick your brains over some airborne mortar stuff as I do that as well! I don't know where my pitch is yet, but ill keep an eye out for you, what day(s) are you going? Cheers Dan
Hi, yes I will be going to Victory and will be with the 502nd PIR Pathfinders, see you there!
Great? Thanks for sharing your knowledge about WW2 reenactment.
You're welcome, always happy to pass on information.
pew pew pew
BOOM
@@jiaruiren778 Something like that
Yes he uploaded again !
Yes, I did, I try to upload every Sunday, but it usually turns out to be very late at night on Sundays.
Great impressions
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.
mortar pew
Yes, but more of a clank…..boom
should do one speaking in french
@@SirP83 I don’t think many English speakers will understand it
audio is a bit quiet.
Thanks for letting me know, it sounds alright on mine but maybe it’s not as good on other devices.
Yo were you at Ramsey 1940s today?
Yes, I was, how about you?
@@Parrotrooperyeah I was with GI41-45, were you With 502nd pathfinders?
@@brickmaniac2526 Yes! I didn’t see you there, but I was probably too busy overloading the public’s brains with useless information. If you’re going to Odyssey this weekend, feel free to drop in and say hi.
@@ParrotrooperHa, yes I came over when you were talking to people to be fair. Sadly I can’t make it to odyssey but I will be going to Victory. Will you be there as well?
@@brickmaniac2526 Yup, sure will, I'll see you at Victory then. Were you wearing camo HBT's? I think I may have seen you walking around when I was boring people to death with random knowledge.
Thanks for good knowledge.
full of knowledge, thanks
Really enjoyed it. Loved the story. I made a short film a while ago about paratroopers but just kinda made up the story. Where do you find these stories and get inspiration?
Thanks, I just flicked over to your film and the cinematography is outstanding, as well as the editing, a really high quality film. With this film, like yours, the story is kind of made up. However my newest film (link below) has a lot more story and I've tried to keep the authenticity of it as high as possible. Two of the three main characters are based on true people, and, as a WW2 re-enactor I study a lot about the objectives, drop zones, etc. If you'd like any more info, let me know ;) czcams.com/video/-oN-IvzTrEY/video.html
@@Parrotrooper Where do you come across those stories? Do you read books or what?
@@PhinehasMilton Dan Mackay from Miss Drop 44 has a lot of knowledge, you also get to read websites if you hunt enough, there's no specific place I can tell you, it's a bit of here and there really. If you want good books, Carentan part 1, 2 & 3 by Michel De Trez are really good. Watching interviews and stories from veterans also helped, one of the characters in my new film was inspired by Dan McBride in F company 502PIR.
@@Parrotrooper Thanks
Loved watching this video it made me smile
Hahaha, I just had nothing better to do, so I stocked up on videos to make, I've probably still got half a dozen from Normandy. Hopefully I'll get some proper videos done from the upcoming events.
( i think you meant how NOT to to reenact 101 ) 😂😂
@@WW2_X2 yes…and no, I wanted to see if anyone believed it, so I put the word “farb” in, which means inaccurate or incorrect in a re-enacting sense.
@@Parrotrooper yeah I know I was just praying that you knew
Did you take inspiration from Miss drop 44 video?
@@WW2_X2 No…totally… Actually yes, I decided to make an “improved version” and sent it to Dan to have a look at
Lol yeah nice work
Yo I’ve recently noticed your m1a1, looks very nice what role are you in your group? (Part or Mg team, mortar team, Hq?)
Usually I’m a medic, but for films or combat roles I’m a Mortar assistant gunner, according to the TO&E they got M1a1s as well as the mortar gunner and machine gunner.
@@Parrotroopervery cool!
Sorry for the comments being off, it sometimes does automatically, I’ll try and make sure that the comments stay on.
Well done - a great effort!
Thanks, glad you liked it
love the reenactorisms
and he shouldnt have the 1911 gfer rid of it
@@debbiecollins6665 Yes, I don’t think you see his white T-shi(r)t in the video, but I got him to wear the scarf so you don’t see it. By the way, do you know someone called Dan Mackay from Miss Drop 44? I he usually has the same comments about CC2, 1911s, white t-shirts etc.
@@Parrotrooper yes i have talked to him about war and 502 stuff at multiple events in the uk
ask you friend to rip up his gas brassard get some new scim and maybe some new boots but i love to see the effort on cc2 and other small details
@@debbiecollins6665 Hahaha, thanks, yes I tried to scrunch up his gas brassard when he wasn’t looking but he said it’d wear on its own eventually. Since we’re doing 3/506, most pictures don’t show them using scrim so I might get him to dump it entirely. I’ve tried persuading him about the boots, but I don’t know if he will change them. CC2 is an important part of an impression, I have replicated it on mine, and tried to persuade him to do so on his.
@@Parrotrooper its hard to find people with the same drive to be authentic
NO WHITE T SHIRTSSSS
@@debbiecollins6665 Absolutely correct, in NZ the excuse usually “It’s too hot to wear wool”, but why not have an OD vest instead? But that hasn’t stopped me from wearing the M37 wools under my M42s, though I did have the jacket zipper down most of the time 😆
@@Parrotrooper yes you can weasr the oatmeal thermal or od vests under your 42s but remember 99.9 percent of the soldiers had to put up with the heat
That was amazing that is the best short film I have ever watched keep up the good work !
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words, will do my best to make more of these in the future.
Love your we2 movie! Well done!
Thanks, be sure to watch the full one on my channel.
Fun WW2 short movie. Interesting background history. Thanks for sharing your good work. Cant wait to see the next one! 👍
Great to hear that you like it. Thanks!
great. plz more action and pain and hurt/killing scenes. you are a brilliant stunt actor!
Thank you to you and your cast & crew for the effort in making this short film. It was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. It’s hard to imagine the experiences of WW2, your film being based on true accounts is certainly thoughtful and insightful. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm really glad the film turned out the way it did, I really appreciate it when people like watching the random stuff I make. Thanks
Great film! I love the time and effort put into it! Hope you enjoyed filming it as much as I did watching 👍
Thanks, I am really glad with the way it turned out and did have good fun filming it. There are some funny bloopers which you'll probably see sooner or later, but really good to hear you enjoyed it. By the way, how was the music in the film? Cheers
It was good! Nice to end with 😀
@@EasonLiuMusicThanks
Very good film. please more!
Good to see people enjoying it, there will definitely be more, might be a few months though.
Amazing work! Would love to see more of these 🔥
Thanks, I will definitely work on some more films, there will also be a sequel to this (maybe two depending on whether or not I combine Market Garden and the Bulge).
@@Parrotrooperthat will be sick 🔥🔥🔥
Fun! I enjoyed watching it as I like good WW2 short films, especially ones that are based on history. The story is more complex this time and it helps make the movie more interesting/ fun to follow. Love the background scenery and the shooting effect as it looks real without the help of CGI. Well done! Keep up with your good work. 👍
Thanks, glad this film has proved to be better than the previous ones I've made.
