We are forming a new reenactment unit aimed at authentically portraying a unit of the Geheime Feldpolizei during the period 1943-1945. While we will be performing GFP type duties when and where possible, it is important for potential unit members to know that the unit will also be taking part in tactical combat operations. In December 1944, personnel assigned to GFP unit were declared "fighting troops" due to the fact that as the situation at the front continued to diminish, GFP units were committed to frontline combat operations.
If you think you might be interested in joining us, check out our website: geheimefeldpolizei.org and see what we are all about. Our current personnel are located in the mid Atlantic and midwestern regions of the USA.
Here here, nice to have someone saying it. I went to beltring in 2003 and most of the units were waffen ss or generaderme!!!! (spelling sorry)
Why oh why do people like playing police other than being able to say "PAPERS BITTE!!!" I really do not know. I probably play the most marginalised and minority German group ever, a turkistan volunteer attached to the 452nd at Omaha.
Very true, I'd like to reenact WH 9th Panzer someday.
Finally made it out to my first event as a landser, as part of IR421 in central California. We're a second impression unit made up of guys that normally do the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division.
A couple of years later, an update... The 421 ended up merging with an established unit in the area, the 352nd Infanterie Division. Weekend after next, I'll be out as my first event as the unit leader. (Wish me luck.)
Received my promotion to Feldwebel from a veteran, a former 10th SS Untersturmführer, that was in attendance at the last event. How many reenactors can say that?
Iam a Oberscharführer SS Regiment "Deutschland" by my Group in Sweden.
And by Displays/Living History iam a GFP (Secret Field Police) Feldpolizeisekretär.
