      I think it's because the only time we see WW2 combat is either in black in white footage, movies, television, and or our imaginations. We have certain expectations of what it should look like, and then seeing this we realize it's all too real.

    As a German at this event I can offer some insight into what was going on on the other side.
    No idea why the HQ was left unguarded, my comrades and I, thought it was pretty foolish. We were ambushed constantly by you guys trying to take that town, so nice defense!
    The reason the German declared you dead was because no one had grenades to throw in there, and in talking to the halftrack, they told us that they had fired their 37 mm at the building several times, and also told us you just weren't taking your hits.

    • @ryansharpe3564
      @ryansharpe3564 Před 10 měsíci +12

      As an American that was also defending that town, it’s really hard to tell when one of your big pieces like the marder or the halftrack shot at the building when we don’t have clean line of sight of said vehicle. You should really only shoot at people that you have made eye contact with since then they know you are shooting at them. If not, people are going to assume you are shooting at someone else since they want to stay in the game. Just my experience I’ve seen at tacticals

      If a shot is fired in your direction you choose when you've been hit, it's not as much a game where you must shoot accurately, but to provide an interesting experience for spectators or in this case, fellow re-enactors.

    Even though this is a Re-enactment, the thought that kept repeating itself was at the beginning finding a stockpile of German supplies. A healthy sense of paranoia would ring in my head that the building could have been rigged to explode. Especially when coming across something that is too easy to take.

      Learn what area of history you want to re - enact. Study the details, and decide what fits your physical abilities. Finding roles for military or civilian is the next step. Many re=enactment groups would welcome new members, if you can handle the discipline to do it, in a way, of honoring those of that era.

Not too sure on that number, but pre-covid we only did the beach landing on one day (Saturday) and well over 30k people would try to cram in to watch it. We now do the landing every day of the event to help alleviate that. It's an absolutely massive event.

      You would typically find a unit to join and they might give you some gear to start, but typically you have to buy it all, and it isn't cheap. Because these weapons are fairly rare now, good condition M1 Garands and 98k's can often go for over $1000. I personally recommend finding a British unit because everything is cheaper and it's more unique than everyone and their mother doing Rangers or Airborne on the Allied side.
