Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
I would like to introduce our unit: the 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment. We are a Living History and Tactical unit that does both Blank Fire reenactments and WWII airsoft events with members in WA, OR, ID, and BC. We do 6-8 events a year and usually one very large event in central CA with our... -
WWII Re-enactment Open to the Public!
BTW German soldiers didn't wear armbands. Political types did. -
Russian re-enacting.
foot wraps were very common in all of Europe up until about WWII and remained so in very poor areas until well after the war. Russian did have boots. In the winter they (like some other northern countries) wear a wool felt boot that has no sole, it is a lot like a giant thick stiff sock... -

MG42 German Machine Gun in Afghanistan
I've handled MG1's in 7.62x51 that were reworked MG42s with wwii marking still in use by Pakistani peacekeepers. It'a great gun, no reason to stop using it. somewhere i have a picture of me with it. -
Why does this forum close some many threads?
It seems very odd to me that that this forum closes so many threads that people are just having open discussions on. What exactly is the point of that?- _RAGNAR_

When your told to put down the gun... DO IT!
Miles did at least one German impression along with Cossack, Russian, civil war, and American plains indian, and I'm sure 3 times that I don't know about. He dressed vintage most every day and was a model. Spoke a couple languages and played half dozen instruments.- _RAGNAR_

When your told to put down the gun... DO IT!
There has been NO emphasis on his having been wearing a German uniform after the first few hours of reporting, mostly because the Seattle Police said it had no bearing and that they recognized that he had all types and era of stuff in his place. The German uniform thing has almost disappeared as...- _RAGNAR_

I guess we have a basic difference of opinion about the accent thing. Yes many actors portray nationalities they are not. In BOB guys who were British spoke American English, as was correct since they were portraying Americans speaking American English. In this film people were portraying...- _RAGNAR_

Well honestly IMO if someone liked Titanic, I don’t see them liking this movie. It’s not a love story, it’s not suspenseful; it is a attempt to show a very complicated situation and all the complicated individuals who for all kinds of reasons personal and otherwise were involved in this moment...- _RAGNAR_

Show us your Guns!
sorry for the bad pictures, I didn't notice until now how bad they turned out. yes a 33/40 but I'll be honest, it's replica. damn near perfect but still a replica. A buddy of mine built 5 of them 10 years ago just for fun.- _RAGNAR_

of course you are talking about Germans! That is another thing the critics couldn't get their heads around; Germans believe it or not, do not act like Americans, especially German Officers in WWII- _RAGNAR_

I know it is very popular to dislike Tom Cruise, but I found the critics to be WAY off the mark. Personally I think the idea that an actor cannot do anything anymore because they are to famous is pretty ridiculous. Collateral was an example were I never once thought about the character being Tom...- _RAGNAR_

Four major details
I like the belt buckle holder. pretty neat. Learned something new today. -
Four major details
yes like leather care, things like zipper care have died off. Yes to wax on zippers, the metal teeth, like all metal to metal movement require lube. Wax is the proper lube that will not bleed into the clothing. -
Do you own a Tux?
The belt and loops would only add thickness and bumps where they are not needed. The other is precisely because the pants are supposed to be worn high. Starting with white tie the pants are very high as the waistcoat is not that low, and the front of the waistcoat should be covered by the...
