    Hello again!
    Here I am with PART 3 of the Battle of the Bulge Reenactment at Manhay!
    It was really cold, and of course I decided it was a good idea to spend the night all alone in my Pup Tent!
    Yes, it was freezing.. But I just really wanted to have this experience.
    It's such a weird feeling, sleeping on the same ground that was a battlefield back in 1944. Soldiers of the 2nd SS Panzer Division were running around, tanks were being destroyed, and U.S. soldiers were attacking.. Artillery shells coming from different directions, scared civilians hiding for the horrors of war.. lots of people were killed here.. and here we are, spending the night in our little tent.
    It's important to know that we don't only do this for entertainment, but we do this to preserve History, teach about it, and respect the soldiers who fought in this battle.
    It was a very... "cool" experience!
    Hope you enjoy the video! :)

      @@henryspadt6160 This. I thought my area was a deadzone for WWII reenacting, but I just recently found out there is a place about two hours from me that does two "tactical" events (events that are closed to the public so you can actually use accurate squad tactics and whatnot) annually. I definitely would love to try it out at some point!

    And respect for putting the boots of in the tent, that's not easy. When I am at an event, I just wear my boots all the time. Historicaly correct 😅
    I read an diary of a veteran who also said, the only situation he put the shoes off, was when he took a shower. For the rest, it was usually for him to wear them all the time even if it was 4 weeks in a row. But yeah, socks were inexistent after a longer time, they just decomposed with the time 😅

    Very good video! It brought back a lot of memories for me, but I never did WWII reenacting. I did American Civil War reenacting for over 30 years. Your sharing of your experience with the cold reminded me of doing an event in 15-degree (F) weather with 40MPH wind gusts in an open field with small 'dog' tents and yes, we had a reenactor die from exposure at that event. But we didn't have a mattress, nothing but straw and a wool blanket. Yes, it does very much make you appreciate what ALL the fellows before us went through. My hat is off to you!

    Hallo Nick,
    Twee tips van een collega reenactor en actief dienend militair:
    1. Slaap alleen in ondergoed, zo gebruik je de isolatie van de slaapzak maximaal. Het klinkt raar maar is echt zo.
    2. Neem je kleding en waterdragers je slaapzak in zo zijn weer warm als je ze de volgende moet aantrekken en bevriest je water niet.
    Daarnaast toffe videos ga zo door👍

I thought my grandpa was gonna have a damn stroke lol! He said: how do you know about that? lol 😂

    Bit of modern day winter camping tip for you. Change into dry shocks and underwear before you get your head down in your sleeping bag. Otherwise the sweat in your socks and undies will freeze during the night keeping your feet and butt cold...and awake! Hence change them before going to sleep

    Wij waren vroeger in het nederlandse landmacht infanterie. Lets go on in english.. We were in the Dutch Army in the 80ties. We did 2 winters and also colt very colt.. First days they didnt let us put on a goat.. everything we had to do in a overall and sneekers! Not luxury sneekers but very cheap ones with barely a sole on them.. We learned to march and all comados of drill. After that we went outside the base and head to sleep in summer sleeping bags !! We tried to get up but it was so colt you got cramps in youre legs !! Then the seargant calles out a litle mars and we all warmed up again.. ! Also a method you never forget !
    We the 47 panser infanterie Menno v Coehoorn had a lot off fun those times but is was also very hard some times ! Something you never forget in daily live !! You can alwais do more if you think you had it they learned us !! We also did funny stuf like the day we had to attack a town,, We all had camouflaged helmeds with hay and brushes on it,,, some of the guys took there lighters and put the other guys helmed on fire ,,, Wich he didnt notist at first .... WE went down of laughter !! Got lots of those storys !! Becasue yea i was in the real army !! Cu ,, former Tank (ipr) Gunner ! 47 Menno v Coehoorn
