There isn’t anything wrong with people wearing the gear. They paid for it, you can’t really judge them about it. Its their property. So just please don’t call out those men. Let people do whatever they want, wether airsoft or reenactment and stuff. Its discrimination to call out these “old, obese, short” types of people. Keep in mind that reenactment isn’t for specific people. Let them do as they wish. Thats all😅
@@aviationdude464 Yes same i mean i get it you love history but have some respect to the people who fought i myself have lost 30kgs so it looks better in uniform then start of the year
Guys, leave the Obese people alone. they share the same passion for learning about the war as you do. also atleast they are out here with others like them and socializing rather than being indoors.
I appreciate their love of history. But what about their appreciation for authenticity.? Rather than don a uniform (which probably does provide some fantasy excitement for them...while the spectators laugh)...why can't they just display their collections until they reach a 1940's wartime physique that is believeable?
US reenacting is not the best, to say the least. But trust me the Reenacting community around the world is a lot better than this. And there are of course also good US reenactors.
Damn, this may be messed up to say, but as a bigger guy myself, I'm doing my best to not be the biggest guy on the field anymore. Tired of what I'm seeing, and i want to make my unit and myself proud and look good while doing it. I'm trying purposefully not to buy any larger pieces of kit until i slim down. My 21st Panzer deserves a better me, and I do as well. Wish me luck! :P
@@infinite0hacker447 no i appreciate that man it's true. But at the same time, i don't wanna get outta breath putting on my boots lol or look entirely too huge to be believable.

It’s a reenactment not a battleground. What’s next, “The average reenactment gun cannot fire live ammunition nor is able to during re-enactments. Time to start loading them up and actually shooting.”
Even as a reenactor myself @spearheadmilsim7976 is right on this point. You are potraying history to people or for yourselfs. The average soldier wasn't very fat. The bullet thing is for safety reasons and you dont need to have it since you can act by dropping dead. The point of reenacting is learning from it.@@powersresurrected354
I mean, you can’t judge them unless they are making a fuss. They also own those uniforms, gear, weapons etc. If they ain’t stiring up a storm, don’t start one
This is an accurate description of SS units in april 1945 XD yup things were that desperate all jokes aside, i also thank them for keeping the history alive
Most authentic I’d say were the Finns and German Cavalry near the end. They look like real soldiers and furthermore are accurately dressed and equipped
I can't fault those "large fries with that" big guys for being interested in history...but you would at least think they would try to look the part. The uniforms would be presented better if they were just laid out on a table. How can you take this seriously with such inaccuracy in the fitness department?
0:55 "Rechts um!" - Right around (turn right). But only about two to three guys did it correctly? As ordered, they turned towards the right. Everyone turned to the left (From their perspective when the order was given). The funniest part is some guys doubted to left but instead turned right. Very unfortunate.
I know it's only a hobby for most of them, but I don't think that most of them are young enough and fit enough to be dressing up as front line infantry soldiers etc. Maybe guards at Luftwaffe airfields or flak gunners in the Reich or truck drivers, but they don't really look much like the people who they are supposed to look like. If you look at photos of the Fallschirmjager and the Panzer Grenadiers, they were very young men who often looked quite thin, but they were all very fit and athletic, without beerbellies or greying hair or glasses. Their self belief and their pride/arrogance (?) also gave them a certain swagger and attitude which is hard to replicate. Even the NCOs and the junior officers and the Abteilung and Kompanie commanders were younger than the majority of these reenactors.
Or maybe it would be more accurate to dress like the Volksvweer (the People's Army) and carry mock panzerfausts, while dressed like the civilian defenders of Berlin. With only arm bands destinguishing them as combatants of any sort.
As much as I appreciate such events, accuracy of uniforms and equipment, and remembering such a terrible and amazing time in mankind's history I feel very annoyed and somewhat see it as disrespectful how out of shape so many of the actors are. Race I can care less about (like the black smoking Russian dude. I'm half black but I'm a huge WW2 history buff and got into it because of great grandfathers service during the war and the things he'd tell me or show me in his duffle bag) as that shouldn't dictate what uniform you wear unless you're doing an official battle reenactment that is going for authenticity. A regular let's just have fun mock battle is whatever. I'm being mean I know and I apologize if I offend anyone. Just honestly surprised and annoyed at how many people in this are well out of shape. I'm aware not everyone can or is thin that's just how it is nowadays but alot of those people also it's pretty obvious that's on them. The enactments I've been to most everybody is in decent shape and really helps bring that feel of authenticity to the uniforms and reenactments. Still I thank all who attend always as this is a time in mankind's history we should never forget.
Yeah...Something about a lot of reenactors. It seems they have an inner desire to be feared and held in awe to make up for some sort of insecurity in life. Sort of the Darth Vader admiration syndrome. I bet many fantasize about struting around stiff legged wearing those snappy black SS and gestapo police unis with the NAZI armbands. Now..that said. I have alot of respect for most of the portrayals of the Heer. Correct Waffen SS portrayals including appearance of the portrayer is interesting, but seeing some of these guys?...They better change their names to WAFFLE-ASS. I bet I could make alot of money following these guys around with a Tuba! (Thank you Stewy - Family Guy...; ^ )))) ......extra chins LOL ) Oh...almost ALL the women look good and authentic for the 1940's. Well done ladies.

I can guarantee to you that there was not one obese enlisted guy, nco, or field officer. seriously. play a realistic part. if you are super fat, don't be an infantryman. if you are super old, then folksturm is more your thing. if you are super young, then chose volkstorm or hitler youth.
Do not want to insult anyone. As a singular person any of you could be a great guy. However, the reenactor image can be only declared as the parade of freaks:/ Much better to have a quality rather then quantity.

Guy at McDonalds: How many burgers will you guys take?
These wehraboos: YES
They should enlist if they're that devoted to the army
Edit: After seeing 5:59 I take that back
The guys at the front are responsible for a special offensive maneuver known as the 'Blitztumble'
It gets worse at 6:34
I wonder what those 3 enormous guys look like in the "thick" of it
Some of them have enlisted. They do this to honor those who fought and fell in WW2
Canadian Bacon do I smchell luftwaffles
8:21 Nice to see some wear and tear. Everyone else has their equipment in a perfect condition which does not simulate field conditions at all.
Some of them German soldiers had a little to much bratwursts
The real battle of "the bulge"
So many Private Pyles
So many horrible re-enactors. What the heck is this.
It was clearly sponsored by the Pillsbury Dough Boy
Two German platoon mg gunners at front formation around 6:00 are making the reenactment more interesting esp in battle sets.
Kinda like how not all the German kit was uniform kinda shows unintentionally how desperate they were towards the end of the war, just never knew they ate that good damn those guys wouldn't even get past the recruitment office
4:34 is that Asian from Turkistan Legion? It's rare to see a Asian reenactor( like me).

There was a guy on RUclips called Panzerwaffe guy that does Turkistan. I can send you a link to our discord if you want
08:20: Three guys dressed as hobos, could be Finnish troops.
Omg Peter griffin in the Wehrmacht
Aw man, this is even worse than the time I was at Kursk...
Which one? They're all FAT and could pass for "Peter".
@@jds6206 there’s one in the front carrying an mg42
Sorry for that but some reenactors are so ridicolous in uniforms..
Not picking on anyone but if you are “over wait” and want to reenact that’s awesome but lose a little weight not to the point of a twig but just some
Exactly
Weight*
