Not a reenactor, but I love the WW2 MGM stuff reused on "Combat".

On these movie prop uniforms were WW2 MGM made eagles used in
such films as when Tarzan and Lassie fight the Nazis, and many more.
In the "Golden Age" of Hollywood studio art departments made every-
thing, even small things like these eagles obtained from the first big
release of Hollywood stuff in the legendary 1970 MGM Studio sale.

I disagree with the statement. Though you don't "need" expensive uniforms to make a good impression, they certainly help!Originally posted by Erich Johann View PostNo subjections to this?

One could also argue that the uniform does not make the soldierOriginally posted by m1steelpot View Post So many re-enactors get tangled up in the "details" that they tend to forget that its not just the uniform or the equipment that makes the impression.

Agreed. Knowledge of mannerisms, cultural tidbits, and the like are equally important. Nothing helps build an impression like knowledge of material culture and anything beyond the "military" stuff. I think many people get hung up on the military-terms for things, the language of the Frontsoldat was quite different. In regards to GI's, I doubt they ever called anything by its actual designated terminology.Originally posted by Grabenkater View PostOne could also argue that the uniform does not make the soldier So many re-enactors get tangled up in the "details" that they tend to forget that its not just the uniform or the equipment that makes the impression.
A friend of mine showed me (in a post WWI book on Front-slang) how in WWI and WWII, one of the (many) nicknames of the Stahlhelm was the "Parteihut." Blew my mind.Last edited by m1steelpot; 06-24-2010, 10:14 PM.Comment

Here is my WW2 tunic and with everything thats carried in my pockets. I hate seeing re-enactors with empty pockets and neatly pressed uniforms. Its one of the first things that jumps out in photos.
The tunic is a modifyed tunic from Sturm. The buttons have been replaced with originals or Czech replicas. The button holes have all been restitched by hand with proper button hole thread and the collar has been replaced with one thats more correct.
Brief photo of my Model 1910/14 bluse. It is one of the first runs from AntZ Militaria.

The date the book was published was 1919 or 1920. I need to borrow the book so I can scan the pages. Some of the WWI terms were crazy.Originally posted by Erich Johann View PostComment
