I love two of the 'last ditch' attempts you see the german guys do.. including the guy running from the bushes, firing off his pistol and screaming. And then the guy at the end who is surrendering, but last second pulls his bayonet and tries to gut the americans.
Finally a reenactment not full of old war buffs and fat kids. I love seeing fit guys reenact both sides, it makes it a lot more realistic (minus a few). Would def love to reenact with this Wehrmacht group!
Theres that one fat guy on the US side just walking around like he was in a park in the middle of the video, and one in the german side but that seemed like it was the only farb thing of that awesome reenactement
As much as I don't like the public style open field events, this is amazing! Great editing and video quality, really looking forward to the video from this years event! Cheers!
Check out my other videos if you want to hear the roar of battle. However, I'd to say that if you had read the info panel, you would've known why I had to remove the sound; my technology wasn't as sophisicated then, and even now it's a pain to clean up the audio I capture. These videos take much more work than one might think. (If you want sounds ONLY, my Pacific reenactment video is just what you're looking for.)
To be fair with the firepower the Germans had on their side with this scene. The Germans should have monster’d it, that PAK would have wrecked everything.
just wanted to tell you that this is great work! not only the quality, i mean how the bangs of the music fit to the firing of the cannons : that was EPIC! ;)
Yes, I agree the video and Audio parts were right where they should be. Very dramatic living history. Im sure this is just how the war played out day to day.
The impressions, weapons and equipment look good, but having a spectator battle in open flat ground with no cover or concealment. Yeah, it's a staple of spectator events, but it's tough to watch all that cover and concealment right in the background where the fight would REALLY take place. Hey, I've done events like that, too. Almost any WW2 re-enactor has. "Battle for the baseball field," we always called these...
Well for one how old are you? And for two being a Reenactor is exactly like the military. You get the training and the ranks. It'll probably take years for you to become a German officer. Ive been doing Civil War Reenacting for 3 1/2 years and im still a private lol
2:11 how do you justify using a PPS43 on the western front. The soldiers on the eastern front didn't use it that much (they were retreating when the PPS came into service, which makes it allot harder to capture weapons) and on the western front you would not be able to get a PPS.
@XXAndriuchaXX and @potato2442 I'm intervening cuz I know where this sort of stuff goes and you'll fill up this board with base and passionate things. I do say, I think this is the swiftest buildup of immaturity I've seen on any of my videos, but if you want to call each other names, do it via the RU-vid email. Don't do it here. This is a place for comments about the video, and I will not let it be a place for demeaning and senseless bickering.
the guy with the cap on backwards was relistic since some american soldiers would wear them under their helmets to stop the helmet feeling 'uncomfortable' on thier heads. it is likely that his helmet fell of when he fell to the ground.
I don't see how the Americans won, they only had a infantry and two tanks. While the Germans had about five different anti-tank weapons, infantry, and a tank. A stug which is a pretty well capable tank.
Towards the end of the war they didn’t, I realize this is “early war” but the Germans didn’t do it a lot. Hence the creation of Panzer Grenadiers cause nobody could keep up with the tanks in Blitzkreig attacks.
Very good reenactment. My only complaint is the lack of sense of urgency in the individual actors. I didn't see any actual hustle when it came to moving positions (more like a light jog) and then at 4:47 the German popping out of bushes, firing his weapon then being more cautious of the ground than the allies who shot him. On the positive very well edited and good music to go along with it.
Kampfgruppe Bockmann there are a few pics of double decals making it to the end of the war. But do you expect them to either repaint or destroy and get new decals for each different event they go to?
@flecktarn1000 Yeah, in ww2 more and more younger guys are coming in and pushing authenticity. I am 18, I do British WW2 and Civil War. I am just about fed up with farbs in Civil War, so will be devoting much of my time to WW2.
This and the Lowell video are the best reenacting videos I've seen thus far. I belong to the 82nd AB, 508th PIR, E. Co. 2nd Battalion. Check out our website at 508pir.com
according to my knowledge of German and American tanks avrebero won the Germans in this battle because the sherman would be blown up after the first shot de panzer that we see or seem an elefant and armored infantry without overwhelming support especially the American one accustomed to a suporto armored, more or less always present would fugita maybe they would come back later with more tanks and would have won anyway nice video good
There is an overarching and disproportionate element of narcissism prevalent among reenactors . They spend a great deal of time and money trying to pretend they are something they are not ; real soldiers. Very few of them have any actual military service , and in over thirty years of being around them , I have met a grand total of two who have actually been on combat. I have privately shared these thoughts with those two , and they are in agreement. Essentially , reenactors want to dress up and act like men , without the risks of being men. For these exhibitionists, dressing up in the costume of the past, treated as a fetish, and posturing and parading as part of the masquerade provides the pleasure of pretense, which is all it is, although the performance undoubtedly has the psycho-therapeutic effect of serving to ease the feeling of inadequacy in its performers, in a manner akin to the savage who dons the skin of a lion as a mantle in the belief that he will thereby become invested with the strength and courage of the king of the jungle. If they really want to experience something akin to real military life , all they need do is deprive themselves of food and sleep , while increasing their work load.
