    I love two of the 'last ditch' attempts you see the german guys do.. including the guy running from the bushes, firing off his pistol and screaming. And then the guy at the end who is surrendering, but last second pulls his bayonet and tries to gut the americans.

    2:11 how do you justify using a PPS43 on the western front. The soldiers on the eastern front didn't use it that much (they were retreating when the PPS came into service, which makes it allot harder to capture weapons) and on the western front you would not be able to get a PPS.

    The impressions, weapons and equipment look good, but having a spectator battle in open flat ground with no cover or concealment. Yeah, it's a staple of spectator events, but it's tough to watch all that cover and concealment right in the background where the fight would REALLY take place. Hey, I've done events like that, too. Almost any WW2 re-enactor has. "Battle for the baseball field," we always called these...

    Check out my other videos if you want to hear the roar of battle. However, I'd to say that if you had read the info panel, you would've known why I had to remove the sound; my technology wasn't as sophisicated then, and even now it's a pain to clean up the audio I capture. These videos take much more work than one might think. (If you want sounds ONLY, my Pacific reenactment video is just what you're looking for.)

    Very good reenactment. My only complaint is the lack of sense of urgency in the individual actors. I didn't see any actual hustle when it came to moving positions (more like a light jog) and then at 4:47 the German popping out of bushes, firing his weapon then being more cautious of the ground than the allies who shot him. On the positive very well edited and good music to go along with it.

    There is an overarching and disproportionate element of narcissism prevalent among reenactors . They spend a great deal of time and money trying to pretend they are something they are not ; real soldiers. Very few of them have any actual military service , and in over thirty years of being around them , I have met a grand total of two who have actually been on combat. I have privately shared these thoughts with those two , and they are in agreement. Essentially , reenactors want to dress up and act like men , without the risks of being men. For these exhibitionists, dressing up in the costume of the past, treated as a fetish, and posturing and parading as part of the masquerade provides the pleasure of pretense, which is all it is, although the performance undoubtedly has the psycho-therapeutic effect of serving to ease the feeling of inadequacy in its performers, in a manner akin to the savage who dons the skin of a lion as a mantle in the belief that he will thereby become invested with the strength and courage of the king of the jungle. If they really want to experience something akin to real military life , all they need do is deprive themselves of food and sleep , while increasing their work load.
