The Germans were totally out of their time! I can't believe they had modern cameras and live streaming in the early 1940s! Nice trench and uniforms btw.
When I was much younger, my friends, and I did something similar to this. Now granted, we did not have the same level of kit. Historically accurate uniform, and weapons. But, we went out into the woods by my house...and we dug fox holes, and a trench! And we pretended it was the Battle Of The Bulge. Though, at the time...it was late fall.....so, I guess it would be closer to the the Hurtgen. Either way, it was a ton of fun....and a great memory.

Yes, look at some real footage. They looked like hard men on a mission to save their country. These look like soft men who have been softened over generations of easy living, like sheep.
The amount of dedication and detail you put into your reenactments is awesome. I would love to participate in a ww2 reenactment. You guys have a lot of fun bringing history to life.
Hey Nick, I would just like to say that I love every single one of your videos I am obsessed with all eras of the military and every country’s military It’s definitely my #1 thing. I watch your videos literally every day. They are so interesting and fun to watch.Your videos are truly amazing and I’ll always keep watching. Keep up the fantastic work. I wish you best of luck. Also where do you get all of the awesome relics?
this is cool! For Christmas I’m getting a original m44 dot uniform and pants and German ww2 splittertan stahlhelm cover. WW2 stuff is really cool to collect
id love a large scale version of this with way more people, although I know that would be just a tad bit more difficult. Edit: I'd also like to say this is oddly wholesome, really plays on the human aspect of the war.
Only just found your video here on RUclips...hats of to you guys awesome, showing that life in the trenches was not good and even for the germans it was making what you had make life easier and keeping yourself fed and watered...enjoyed the video. Thanks
Watching my favorite Deutsche Soldaten while enjoying a stroopwafel! LOVED what you guys did. Your work on the trench SUPER COOL, cute chickens as well!!:)
I envy you for having a trench in your garden. :D This is what I love about reenactment. Sitting around the campfire listening to stories and singing songs, that our ancestors sang. The camaraderie is amazing. It's something you don't find that often in today's society. I do WW1 German and 7 Years War Prussian reenactment. I'd love to do WW2 aswell, but it's of course pretty controversial here in Germany (and easy to get in trouble for)
Yes, reenactment is amazing, being able to experience a part of what they did.. WWI is really cool too, but i understand people don't like to see WWII soldiers in Germany.. I think it shouldn't be a problem.. it's History.. hopefully it changes in the future!
Practical History at its Finest; The sheer dedication was fantastic to be a part of, for the length of time the video lasted, and can only imagine the aching joints etc, the following morning; Very well done, and for showing that there are still people left with the grit enough to do something like this...;)
Cool experience! Me and my crew are digging a trench hole that is about the same depth as the original trench in world war 2, we are doing this to experience german life
Dang, you boys go hard af! When I was a kid in the 70s, we all just took sides in our street clothes and shot each other with red Ryder bb guns. My older brother still has 1 lodged in his armpit that I tagged him with all those years ago. We did have a lot of assorted ww2 era milsurp we bought at the local army/navy store. Stuff was dirt cheap in those days but none of us were too ocd about it to be super authentic with complete uniforms, insignias, and accoutrements though.
Building a bunker os hard you need concrete to make it and it will take go long and you have to dig out a big space so i dont think he has enough room in his backayard
It's so cool you guys live a night of a soldier I mean I understand it's not war time or anything but just to go through some of motions that they did back in that time it's cool guys keep it up
