Re: Pet hates?
I have another one... People who wear knight's crosses!!!!!!!!! That's just taking it too far, unless correctly recreating someone's biography like FMROMMEL does of course.

Or other over the top awards, like the CCC in gold, golden tank destruction badges and so on.
Something thats just plain stupid, is when reproductions are being being compared to other reproductions, as to judge accuracy.

People with fantasy uniforms (especially fantasy camo like 4 colors pea dot pattern) who
transforming a reputable hobby into a karnevall event. Air mattresses, camping chairs and hippie hair cuts are also a no go !
People who have their knowledge only from the studying of books or images (never had a original piece in hands) and believe to know how real German WW2 camouflage and uniforms looks like.

Re: Pet hates?
Why ?
Why should reenactment medals reflect what we have actually done?
Would anyone every deserve anything in reality?
It's the same wierd idea about real service medals should be translated into reenactment medals. I simply don't get it.

It's just as bad with people who have seen a single variant of something, and then belives that every other example must look 100% like that one.Schuetze Arsch wrote:People who have their knowledge only from the studying of books or images (never had a original piece in hands) and believe to know how real German WW2 camouflage and uniforms looks like.

Re: Pet hates?
Because then you have certain criteria to prevent people from wearing too many and without thought. If there is a good reason for a group to give you a medal, the medal has some personal value. Real service medals could be translated into reenactment medals easily, if they are similar... If someone has a victoria cross in real life I won't stop him from wearing a RK in reenactment... It's all about thinking your actions through.Mikkel wrote:Why ?

Re: Pet hates?
Why not have some more thought through unit criteria instead?
It's not like any (serious) unit would allow their members to just wear what uniform they fancy. So why let them wear what medals they want?

Re: Pet hates?
Sincere greetings
What's annoyed me recently is reference and militaria books that give you
the wrong information or contradict one another
It seems all the information ive read over the years is lies or made up,
even on military/history sites on the net the information is often contradictory
Where do you get the facts and truth from, it is very frustrating?
Tommorrow im going to have a bonfire and get rid of all these stupid books,![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
