    Battle of the Bulge Reenactment - Big Lake, MN 19 DEC 09

    No matter how you slice it, WW2 Reenacting is about the common, not the uncommon. While the fighting, debating, and tit for tat never ends on the subject.

    Battle of the Bulge Reenactment - Big Lake, MN 19 DEC 09

    This is one of those age old "debates/arguments/fights" it usually involves someone who has something which is not "normal" or "average" to the theater of battle. So in order to justified it, they have some obscure photo. Often times the picture is of rear troops and not combat infantry squads...

    Help with an M-41 FIELD JACKET

    One thing about WPG everything is made and shipped from overseas (Pakistan). My understanding is he doesn't keep any inventory in the states. So there is no Quality Control on WPG side, other than the customers inspecting his/her purchase, and then living with it or sending it back for a refund...

    Help with an M-41 FIELD JACKET

    I have to agree with Danny, the WW2 Impression ones are an intense green. I have one, and over the years the color has faded and improved. But on day-one they are out of place.

    WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.

    The standard "jump boot" was used by the airborne on jumps. but later in the war, for example Battle of the Bulge they wore the combat boot, also referred to a "double buckle". Also those shown on Sportsman's guide are french boots. The Allied or American boot has a difference rubber sole...

    Mail Call

    A lot of WW2 reenactments are tactical battles which focus on combat tactics and weapons. So our unit had decided to expand the experience for our members by staging "mail calls", with what we think is a pretty authentic first attempt. All the envelopes are actual WW2 era vmail and letter...

    Yes, that is a very nice watch. It really adds to a reenactors "feeling of experience" to have a period correct watch on.
