Just did a re enactment for 200 WW2 GIs, including simulated battle. My son and I are usually with the 2nd. Infantry Division, but they were short of Germans so we played German Fallshirmjaeger Regiment 3 paratroopers. I with my blanked MP40 and my son with his K98.

We had a ball. I was inspected and passed muster by a real German Paratrooper, we met a member of the Belgian Resistance, (with really unbelievable stories), The Master Sargeant of the 506th. 101st. Airborne Division and a General who was on Patton's staff.
It could not have been better today. God Bless all our Veterans.
