Hi all! I'm rather new to the world of reenacting- only about 4 years under my belt now, but I was an amateur fashion historian long before. My interest primarily lies in the clothing, fashion, uniform and textile how, what and whys of the time from the first World War through the end of the fabric restrictions of the 50's through the 60's in Europe. My love of clothing lead me to the hobby and the hobby lead me to my full time job which is to reproduce civilian clothing and a few uniforms of the years 1937-1948 (yes, I realize they don't correspond with the war years).
Regardless of that, I recently began my German impression with the lovely ladies of the Berlin 5 nurses unit here in Gettysburg, Pa and I'm really looking forward to speaking with all of you!

Re: Hello from another Newbie
Welcome and thanks for dropping by. In the UK are a group of women who undertake DRK, FLakHelferinnen u. WH/SS Helferin impressions. They are known as FRAU (Females Re-enacting Axis Units) and are building up a good knowledge base. They have a website, a forum and a facebook page too.
I am sure one of them will be along shortly to say Hi and touch base.
Regards
PD

Have you read 'Nazi Chic' Irene Guenther?
A handy guide to fashion in the Reich, quite wordy but with excellent notes and references.
