Lately, there has been a tremendous amount of harsh actions and words from certain groups and individuals regarding the history of the United States. I thought it would be appropriate to address this in our blog.
History is not always pleasant. History is not what you want it to be, it simply is what it is. You can either accept it and try to learn from it or ignore it and therefore be doomed to repeat it sometime in the near future.
As a re-enactor, I get asked a lot: "Why German?" Well, the answer is simple, we research and present the German military history of World War II, not the political dogma.
The German military existed before the outbreak of WWII and it exists still today. Armor and infantry tactics, machine guns. jet fighters, and camouflage are all considered important aspects of the modern military but the Germans pioneered much of that over 70 years ago.
How do we know that? Because we researched it. How did you know it? Because you read it on this website or saw it at one of our displays. :)
