Some questions
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:25 pm
Guys;
I have been reenacting for 21yrs this march and as I get "older" I find that I am less into busting caps and going on death marches around the event. I have been thinking of doing a FG impression for a while, and think it would fit in more with what I have been doing as of late. I have been asked to help do safety and weapons inspections at a couple of events and had a blast. I have been out of the German side of things for a while and now that I am getting back into it I want to do it right. I am looking at portraying post D-day till the end, western front Volksgrenadier division. I am having to make do with a few things until I can afford to get the good stuff. I am thinking of maybe an ex Heer panzer Grenadier transfered to the FG.
What I have;
M44 tunic
M43 pants
Basic inf. leather gear/impression
Jack boots.
K98 rifle
Questions;
1. Would FG even wear an M44 tunic, if so what type of FG insignia would have been worn?
2. What FG specific gear should I be looking to get?
3. What gear should I drop from my infantry impression. Gasmask, e-tool, A-frame?
Thanks;
Christian
