The Hop Farm — which has kids’ play areas and a Victorian carousel — last night reacted with horror.

A spokeswoman said the group previously took part in the park’s annual War and Peace Show, adding: “We knew they were a military history re-enactment group.

“But there’s no way we would have sanctioned something like this if we’d known. We certainly won’t be inviting them back.”

Pyotr, please don't take any advice from peiper.

While I am a regular visitor I haven't posted on the site for some time but I feel I must add my opinion on this recent attempt by a 'media hack' to bring Axis re-enactment in general and the very successful SBG in particular, into public disrepute.

The last poster is correct and long after this 'paper' is used to wrap up leftovers or dumped into the recycling bin, SBG will continue its authentic portrayal of the soldiers of the LSSAH and continue their involvement in organising and participating in those spectacular battle simulations.

Every cloud has a silver lining and this type of gutter journalsim may well backfire - I say that because it was the 'expose' by that other moron Sweeny, who prompted me to join Battle Group 'South' here after I left the army.

On the other hand it does show the need for constant vigilance on the part of all members and particularly the leadership, of our groups. What do I mean by that? No one should be allowed to carry plastic bags while in uniform, unless they are of the period.
Keep it up lads and lassies !!

Comradeship....something our reporter friend will never really understand is the only thing we can truly replicate from the original units and we have it

Together we are strong
