I like the camoof the uniform of the soldier in the picture MP44.

 

Nice pictures, good to see you in action Kriegspfarrer. Pity many of them are so far from the action though.

 

pictures

Which one is you Kriegspffarer ?
Some time earlier on this Forum I made a comment about 'overage',overweight' portly old gents that should know better posing as commandos , paratroops etc, after looking at the picture of 'Our Stalwart Brit' I rest my case!!!

 

website

thats me in the jeep with binoculars, and im overage and overweight. but then I am the chaplain and the commander. I am in a Russian uniform because there were way too many Germans and we have agreed to switch sides if there is a gross imbalance and there was , hey Zhukov where were ya?

 

Merlin that guy on that page isnt fat, he is just big boned and wearing an oversized uniform. Actually who am I kidding? he is bigger than me and Im considered fat. Merlin to awnser your question I think it was in ur re-enactment pics topic, there was mention of the fat guys eating the cake, pie or cookies I really cant remember mmmm Pie, Cake, and cookies.

 

cake,cookies, pie

i got 36 donuts for free from Wal-Mart on alber pike in Hot Springs, thanks to the generosity of its manager Benny Hardage (yes he is a distant cousin of Will's) and some one else brought Crispy Creams, and a good thing too because a racoon got one box on the first nite see we should haved posted guards on them. Wlly Hightower is a big man and so is Wilhelm Hardage but when u consider that Wally was the entire Bristish Army at this event. we arent complaining

 

If I told you crispy creame donuts had drugs in them and thats why they are so addictive, you would have to agree.

 

re-en

I have shown these pictures to my friends in the Tommy Atkins Society,
a comment from one member (picture below) who lives in Holland said,
"perhaps the 'stalwart Brit' could show them the correct way up to fly the Union Jack", (Broad white band at the top).

 

he is making a peace sign, does that mean he is willing to surrender?

 

That's not a peace sign, it's a V for Victory sign. Those darn hippies should learn what they are talking about.

Gentlemen, I would appreciate it if there would be a little less comment about the weight of these reenactors. After all they are just ordinary civilians with a hobby, and it does not really matter what they look like as long as their equipment and uniforms show an honest effort at historical accuracy.

 

XXL

Quite right Roel, if some one likes to dress up as a fat para or a fat commando as a hobby and it makes them happy, good luck to them.

 

Re: XXL

yeap, if i could i will joint you but i'm a skinny guy

 

Damn stright!!!!!!!

 

fat thread

there is a tendency as one grows older to becoming wider and i fight against it. at least in my case it isnt completely innapropriate because i am an older officer/chaplain this unit was started as a reaction to fat and bald reenactors portraying themselves as the SS. What gets me is being told by, of all people, Will that wears a 3x lol that I am fat

 

Hi
Iam Wilhelm in the pic holding the gun. I really dont like to see other reenactors complain about weight. Trust me everybody is a farb no matter what!!!!

 

re-enacting is a very costly hobby and it jsut happens that guys that are bigger tend to be able to participate. :kill: Better than no re-enactment

 

translation please.

what's a 'farb'? Is it something to do with colour?

 

re-cap

Can we re-cap please, I'm losing track, who exactly are these two well-built gentle men?

 

Oh I have a WWII related question, hopefull soemone here can awnser it.

What are those cylindrical drums used for? In movies and WWII films germans soldiers often wear them. In the picture Merlin posted from the newspaper you can see it standing on the table.
