• POV WWII Combat Re-ena...
This WWII re-enactment at Camp Atterbury in Indiana was truly one of my favorite events. Being able to put yourself in the shoes of a WWII soldier is one of the best ways to learn about what the greatest generation truly experienced in the 1940s. Make sure to check out my other videos from this event in the playlist linked above!

it is actually funny, we were the defending SS unit. We fell back and then tried to push you with those half tracks. It didn’t work because we got killed when we came around the corner. Funny to know that it was you guys we were fighting.
Last fall, I went near A military base for a tour of the place because I’m a Private in the National Guard and I got a leave so I did a tour. I heard a lot of shooting. It could have been you guys.
I heard a lot of Halftracks moving in the tree line.
Im doing a year off in cannada so im wanna use the less strict regulations im cannada and the us (compared to germany) to take part in such an reanactment too, but sadly i know noone who does such stuff. Do you know if theres like a telegram group or something for this?
@@koira6262 It is very complicated to get into WW2 re-enacting.
@@USSMISSOURIMAN naww, so no chance to participate once? Thought when youre a native german speaker you would have relatively good chances xD
What the teachers see: just some little kids playing soldiers at recess
What the kids see:
Salute you brother cause that is true as hell
This really drives home for me how much of an advantage the garand would have been over the Kar98. However the mg42’s effective and psychological power would also have been pretty devastating.
just hearing how fast it’s spits out rounds would’ve been nightmare fuel back then
especially with rounds ripping through brush, zipping overhead and ricocheting off shit
@@vipwanrinkle6439Umm can you tell me to which country the Garand, MG42 and the Kar98 belong to?
@@beetlebg3759 M1 Garand was used by the US and the other two were used by the Germans
@@vipwanrinkle6439 Which one of these three was the most strongest and effective?
Bro that MG42 at the end was terrifying to hear, no wonder it was nicknamed “hitler’s buzzsaw” by allied soldiers
The only thing that doesn't make it as close as it would be back in the day is the fear of dying, obviously in every war you have that but, yeah, this footage is as close as we can get to a real WW2 experience, awesome video man!
Just watch current UKR-RUS war videos. Like that video of Ukrainian SOF clearing out a Russian trench.
Then you can get a look at how people back then would have reacted as they have now
That's not the only thing. The fear of killing somebody also isn't there. Roughly 2% of soldiers in WW2 shot to kill.
@@WillyShankspeare On Killing is a great book that covers this, compiling a lot of studies and information.
This is something I always wanted to do with my friends out of high school.We started with airsoft and yes I know this is completely different but it was more affordable at the time.Sadly no one had a car at the time so we never really got to go to any of these.I would love to go to some of these in my home state if there are any available.I was always a WWII history nut.I wanted to convert a airsoft m14 into a m1 garand.Just at the time those M1 stocks where expensive.
Yall are so calm, even in a reenactment I'd still probably be like "we gotta get tf out of here" bravo awesome stuff 👍
That mg42 sound is just frightening
Awesome, always great to see some garand action
hehehehehhehehehahhahahaahahaha
So a buddy of mine is starting to get me into reenacting and my first event is tomorrow! Its the battle of Bougainville and I found your channel and I love watching your videos. I have watched some of them twice and I have watched your TikTok’s too talking about different things. I can’t wait for the next video.
I just stumbled across your channel, and I’ve got to tell you, fantastic stuff! I’m not sure re-enactments are for me, but it’s certainly fascinating to observe the use of era-appropriate equipment.
Our last reanactment we did was a hill 494 which was awsome, tanks/a quick plane fly by/then a half track..personally I don’t think I got hit at all
I like how he says this is not what it would be like, but it is the closest you will get
1:10 you see him flinch every time there’s a shot if you look at his eyes/eyelashes
Man i just love your videos about the reanactmet. I do it myselfe with a group in the Netherlands where called the ponton group 40-45. We reanact the american engineers that build the m2 light ponton bridge and have these things on events we drive them with our gmc ww2 truck all around the Netherlands and build the bridges there. and we have a yearly event called the waalcrossing this particular events is based on capture of the Nijmegen bridge of the operation Market Garden. But i just love your videos keep it up man.
I’m working on cutting some video for a very similar first person style video, thanks for the great inspiration!
Nice video I would of always loved to join a reenactment but I'm to young.
Me to
How young. Could throw some German kit on and be some late game soldiers.
@@carljones3792 im 15 and thats what im gonna do basically
@@APHILLWAROFRIGHTS I think Airsoft would be more enjoyable, maybe a WWII airsoft reenactment, so you know when you’re hit instead of using the card?
@@BadGamesHere yes probably
Bro the are the best UA-camr ever in my opinion, keep up the great work and have fun making videos.
You guys should definitely check out the missouri Rhineland for one of these, from what I've read and heard from German natives it's as close as you can get to German terrain without going to Germany itself
Oh please do make more videos like this, super enjoyable :)
As a U.S.Army/Enduring Freedom vet your videos are awesome!
These are my favorite type of video u make ❤
I really love this kind of content
Very cool! I do have a question though, what happens to the bullet casings when the reenactment is over? Like does someone go around and pick them all up or do they just lesve them there?
Leave them
I've heard there is a guy or more that picks them all up
I wonder if stuff like this occurs in Canada? I’d love to be in a reenactment! I’d pay anything!
I know at least one group that operates out of Alberta. Not sure about what’s out East, so it really depends where you live. But, they do exist.
Would you pay your life?You said you would pay anything.
@@USSMISSOURIMAN Not without Christ on my side.
Lol. You did say you would pay anything. That includes your life
Just being plain simple.
The distant sound of that mg42 sends chills down my back
Hell let loose update looking crazy!
Love your content 👏
Godly
So Amazing that You can Love Your Work and Produce such Great Art for Us!
Thank You
Nice looking bazooka. Did I build that one? Dude you need to do Wendle ford in western Kentucky. First weekend in Dec. Put on by the 29th out of Lexington.
Hi. I am new to your channel. So often in the movies, the Germans were visible. The way this is shot is very interesting. During an operation there must have been many skirmish's. Is this what I am seeing in this video? My Dad landed in Normandy on D+4 with the 9th Infantry Division. I am a WW2 history buff, always learning.
Been thinking about doing this either during a tactical or actual re-enactment, what kind of mount and setup do you do so it isn’t noticeable?
I gotta look into doing this. Looks like an experience. Very cool.
How do know when you’re shot? There’s no blood😄 Looks like tons of fun though. Like your vid shorts. Lots of info. Keep ‘em coming. I’m a ww2 nut and I learn something new almost every time👍
It's all pretend. They are using blank rounds which don't actually shoot a projectile and just makes the sound of a real gun shot and the case falls to the ground. They act like they get hit though.
Basically if they are aiming at you and your caught in the open or it was a shot most soldiers wouldn’t miss
@@cyborgninja1033ah so they just have to be very alert? If I did this Id worry that people would be shooting me without me knowing, lol.
If you see a barrel pointed at you and hear a gunshit then yeah
Basicly if someone aims then you see a muzzle flash you guess and drop down and if your like doing a d-day one and your charging without cover and you hear the mg42 you drop down or if your in the open and you hear a gunshot then your like oopsy dasies I'm dead
Pretty cool video man! What kind of setup do you use for your camera? Many thanks!
This is the second video of yours Ive watched, this is awesome. Im curious what type of rounds you use? If they were blanks how would somebody know if they were hit?
No matter what it must be expensive, but it seems like a great experience
I’m. Also interested in in how u know if uve ben hit
@@last-hv3svif you see the shots fired at you
@@last-hv3svyou can feel like a rubber or the gun shoot powder or something
I was just wondering: during these events, does your body go into survival mode, like producing adrenaline and the such, or do you just know that there's very little chance of you getting hurt so its all good? I'm just asking cause Iwould like to participate in a reenactment but I don't handle stress and stuff very well.
I’ve had it once or twice. Depends on the situation. Had an American jeep chasing me across a field and when I saw it I just booked it and the adrenaline helped me cross the entire field. But you cant do much against an actual car so they still caught me
I showed this to my grandpa. He’s been staring off into space and shaking for an hour now should i get help?
im curious about your helmet set up with the go pro i may not have looked that hard for a video if you did do one on how that is set up and of not im vary curious also love the vids keep it up
Great Video I Love it
Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I loved watching your videos and I literally made a World War II soldier after you so I hope I would be able to send you a picture of them and I also made a German to
Should have been with me and the couple other guys that flanked that first halftrack Mike with the bazook was shooting at
Amazing as per usual
Now I'm interested in ww2 Re-enactment all because of you! Where do I sign up
I could watch this stuff all day 😃👍
Do you get a new wound card every time or do you just have to act out the injury every time?
hey, i have a question, do you load your blanks with wads in the reenactments, or do you just pretend to be shot?
pretend
Of course you are saving your en bloc clips. In real life they would have let them drop, but those things are actually valuable today. :)
Don't you just love the "time machine', I did it for 25 years!
man i whould love to see more mgs povs
I was curious, how did you mount your gopro? I got a reenactment coming up and I wanted to film a POV for my relatives to watch.
When will we get more reenactments? Now I've watched this 246 times
my mind at recess in school and at home when i have a nerf gun or air:
And also I love your videos
I do have a question, though...
Do you just sh9w up to reenactments, or is there some sorts of sign up?
Cool to see yous do this, could use some grenades for more effect like airsoft grenades. There are some that look like ww1 or ww2 grenades
I gotta know, how was the bazooka made? been trying to figure out how to make one for a while for my reenactment group.
The m1 bazooka works almost exactly like a model rocket…. I don’t remember the exact components of it but the m1 used either battery pack or buzz coil… and when you pressed the trigger you were either breaking the ground or providing if I don’t remember exactly… it would then send a charge to the terminals on the back of the tube which the rocket was wired to …. The rockets basically had a spark plug in them that would ignite the propellant charge which vented out of 6 angled vents in the rocket that applied spin for stabilization…..
Watching them use this m1a1 it honestly looks like it is working the same way………
If you want to just make a big puff of smoke…. Get a fire pit push bottom striker…. You can get them at wall mart…. They create a spark when pressed….. but a repro bazooka for $500
Put that striker in the trigger mechanism and run the wiring back to the contact clip and make paper black powder charges with cardboard map or poster tubes….. either stick a spark plug in them or put two screws in the card board close enough to make an arc….. wire then to the contacts and presto you have a 20-30 lbs smoke machine.
I believe it’s a blank or airsoft he made a video on it
How did you mount your gopro. I am looking for ideas on ww2 usgi setup infantry.
These videos are pretty rad! How do your firearms work? I saw you load a clip of blanks, but is there a projectile like airsoft or something? How do you know if you're hit?
Nope. No proyectile ua-cam.com/video/24MDZTHeSe0/v-deo.html this should answer your other question
imagine you're in a coma and you thought in WWII and woke up and saw this
I Wish I could be in a re-enactment. Btw nice vid
Being out in the open at 1:00 gave me PTSD 😮
@World War Wisdom Hey, i am looking to do this type of stuff. Just how will i know when there is a reenactment going on somewhere?
The greatest part about the western front of the war is that you can pretty much simulate it anywhere lol. Didn't they do Band of Brothers in England? i mean a branch in the woods looks the same anywhere lol. There would be some cool ones you could do with the land here in Canada too. Some eastern front battles
Hey you should do a walk through of all the ww2 stuff you have...i saw that old wooden radio
Where do you get all your gear from? I wanna try get into it but I'm not sure where to start to buy things.
nice your new supporter here :)❤🎉
where do you get the bazooka blanks and working dummy rifle grenade?
hey i have a question, i always have wanted to get into re-enactment but i worry about my hearing, is it ok to bring earplugs? or would that break the whole realism aspect.
I love the videos world war two is my favorite topic ceep it up
what happens to all the clips and ammo that u shoot? Do u pick it up? I guess such stuff is kinda expensive
I've got one question that was probably answered before but I just did not get to see it, how do you determine who got hit and who did not? And I don't mean like when you ran out in the open but like when there is a big fight and everyone is firing randomly, does someone choose to be hit or how does it work?
It kinda just is a guessing game but usually if you see a muzzle flash you should act dead but if you believe someone shot near you and so it's realistic usually they act dead then
@@Michigan_npc Thanks
How do you reenactors get the go a head to use fully automatic weapons? Hell, took me more than a week before I could pickup my Cap & Ball Navy. And a Springfield 61
Those first shots are kinda nerve racking
Greetings, just found your Channel, very cool. have been binge watching. haven't see anything in regards to my question yet. so i thought i might as well ask. how does one determine when or how you got hit? Pellets similar to airsoft? never seen airsoft or pellet guns sound or discharge like the ones in your videos. are your rounds blanks??? any way sorry for so many questions like i said i just found your channel so i am sure i will find the answers shortly.
They use blank rounds, and guess when they've been "hit" or make an entertaining death for the audience.
@@bryant7542 thank you :)
@@recursoshumanosdesalud2823 You're welcome, friend.
Can you show us a video on how you have your camera set up on your helmet
How do you attach your camera to your kit just wondering?
is it only me but when i first got in and the intro starded playing i thought that it was real bullets they were shooting...😅
question, how does it work?, are the guns like airsoft just that they use bullets that sound like real bullets or did you just shoot on targets?
They use blanks
Was at the Atterberry event. Not gonna lie, it wasn't really the greatest. The only fun I got was during the night and town battles. Either way, getting into uniform and shooting at GIs was still fun.
I was over in there manning the MG 42 . big fun . !
This is my 103rd time watching this thing. A++++++ work Wisdom. When will we be getting a video from that recent reenactment in Ohio?
Where do you get these blank firing guns? I can’t seem to find any good sites that sell them
Most people use the real firearms with a blank adapter and blank rounds
Where do you get your gear from?
Just a quick question how can you get into War Reenactments if its possible I am currently 21 going on 22 and I want to try my skill at stuff like this cause it looks very very fun.
Same age, when is your Birthday?
@@Pardina July, 22, 2001
Just look up WWII reenactment groups in your area then get in contact with the ones you are interested in.
I do reenactments in my backyard because there was a battle where my backyard is so I get me and my friends and we do reenactments there.
Scusate l'ignoranza ma come si decide quando un'avversario è stato colpito? E le munizioni sono a salve?
How does this work though? Genuinely curious, how do you know who’s winning when using blanks ?
there’s a general rule that if you’re out in the open, or if a barrel is pointed at you; you get hit. of course, there’s cheaters. but i wouldn’t understand why, it’s a reenactment, therefore people shouldn’t cheat lulz
This would be so fun
Do you guys have a round that you feel when you get shot or do you pretend to get shot I've been subscribed for 5 to 6 months now and this is the first reenactment video I've watched and I'm wondering how you guys get shot?
It's a guessing game mostly see a muzzle flash go down but also most people just believe if they see a gun fire somewhat near them like looking at them they go down or if an enemy says DOWN after shooting you if it's close quarters
@@Michigan_npc oh ok thanks
@@countryboy9280 anytime
There blanks and If you see or if you hear or if you guess it if you feel it’s a good time or if you know the death rate of the battle your acting you play dead
how do you mount your gopro?
dam that was pretty crazy ngl
How do you rig your go pro
Cool! I have a question, how do you know if you get hit?
If you see or if you hear or if you guess it if you feel it’s a good time or if you know the death rate of the battle your acting you play dead
Bro... The bullets and grenades are just so realistic. What are they made of? Not lethal but realistic af, I wanna learn it.
They are blank rounds
If they are blank rounds how do you know when you are “shot”?
Where did you find your suit and boots at
Hey where do you get the guns
I can see his eyes when he bliks
What would be really cool is to see a ww2 themed version of milsim west where its a mix of blank firing rifles and airsoft guns
Air soft is dangerous
This looks fun as hell!
What are you guys firing? Blanks or what?
Blanks
