- Every year, thousands of living historians and history buffs gather in Reading, Pennsylvania, at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum for the country's largest World War II reenactment. Dressed in period attire and using the weapons of the era, they give spectators a taste what life was like for those on the front lines and at home. Charles Hobson is one of the WWII enthusiasts. Hobson is a flamethrower expert and helps the Parris Island Living History Detachment recreate Marine Corps battles. #InsideEdition

Such an expensive hobby but its definitely worth it
Arthur Morgan yes
Oh man, I seriously want to be in this
Super cool man
I love seeing reenactment of ww2, I'm a teenager but I always wanted to be a reenactor
You don’t have to be in your late 50s to get into reenacting. Start doing your research and collecting now, so when you’re old enough, you can really get stuck in.
(Also have fun that’s important to)
Thanks for the help, I really mean it
@@HydraHolden
Well, we all know 50 year old guys reenacting is inaccurate anyways.
Lmao
@@Abigail-rv3rw Oh yeah it's hilarious watching 50 year old fudds hobbling across the battlefield!
btw I'm a high school junior:)
If you're over 16 you could be in the home guard and if you're younger then be apart of the volksturm in the battle of Berlin
1:13 kid is totally obsessed with World War II give him like few years if right for World War 3
This is so fun
Sir.
Been going to this for ten years now. It's amazing. I've flown on the B-17 Yankee Lady twice and can't wait to go again. This is a MUST see for anyone.
I've been volunteering there for 16 year's. Put this on your bucket list, you won't be sorry!!
Japanese: YOU CANT USE THOSE

It's not though?

Thank you for your servers

Wheres private Ryan 🤔
largest in the country?
HAHAHAHA
NO, that honor goes to D-day ohio
I am mildly interested in ww2 but it's weird to call it enthusiasm that's legit saying I'm an enthusiast of recreating ww2 battles where multiple men died..
FNFDude45 I’m sure it’s for the practice of honoring those who have fallen in the battles, and for those who have fallen in the war in general.
unlike firearms. Flame throwers aren't regulated or illegal to buy, posses or own in the US. :)
No way I literally looked up flamethrower hours before this was posted and it was the same video and why did multiple ppl lift the American flag back then the first time
The flag was flown in Iwo Jima
Its all fun and games until Jah comes in with a firing tank for an re-enactment

Wasn't flamethrowers a big part of ww1 also?
yep they were, mostly on put on Mk 1 tanks and infantry, but they were also used in WW2
@@kamikazeHND really? They were put on british tanks. Never knew that. I only thought it had on the german side with it on A7V and the western front.
Ww1 flamethrowers were more scary then ww2. The germans were using it against the french at the trenches. So the french were terrified any moment they can be set on fire when they charge
