Also try joining the 193rd soviet rifles, they fight against ww2 germans in the same newville trench system! Also soviet reenacting is the cheapest, and pps43 parts kits off of bowman arms are only 100 bucks!
I hope I can get ou tto Newville in November. I really miss it. Was the best time of my whole life back in 2019 when I started reenacting. I am curious how are you recording? Hidden gopro?
Please don’t. You have nothing to gain but a bad back, bad knees, and losing your self worth. I speak from experience. There’s nothing you can’t do without joining first, unless you have a plan and a skill you think the army will get you to faster.
@@sgt_sally I always thought it was interesting that in the Great War there were 2 brigades per Div with 2 Regts per Bde. By the Second war the Army had rid of all Brigades & only left two 1st (no insignia) & 2nd Airborne Inf Bde(one of the coolest patches of the war). And.... only 3 Regt per Div. Pretty neat his toh reee.
Nope. They went in unarmed because a medic wasn't supposed to be fired upon IF they did not present a threat to a soldier or soldiers. As an example, an unarmed medic running around helping wounded would not qualify for a valid target and shooting said medic would be a war crime. But if said medic was holding a rifle or a pistol and firing in order to provide covering fire then it meant he could be shot and killed as he posed a threat to enemy soldiers. Of course, in the heat of battle things happen. I know that in the Pacific theatre the Japanese were so ruthless they would target medics on purpose using their red cross armbands as targets. This was a war crime but you couldn't exactly go over and yell at them for not following the rules, so medics/corpsmen would be armed.
@@EstonianShark the japs targeted medics a loooot i know wrong time period but this means it has been thought of, i wouldn't be surprised if the medics did carry a rifle
I’ve wanted to join the GWA for some time and next year, around this time, I’ll be 18. These videos are awesome, keep up thy good work
If you do, come join the 109th! We are the largest AEF unit at Newville.

Did war medics need rifles?
Duh, even though it's a war crime to shoot medics it was still necessary for them to carry rifles for protection

Men: Loves war and reenactments
Women: "Guys thats just history why do you care?"
Men: 😎
If I did the Great War I would choose Imperial Russia or U.S. Marine Corps.
They have both of those at this event.
