Ok so a little story i was at a reenactment recently. And what happened was something that happens all the time. A person comes up to me and looks at me sees my SS symbols and what not. then the "Why do you reenact as the SS, that is really dark and evil what is wrong with u?" [taken from one of the more extreme occasions, they usually ask if what i am doing is wrong]
And i always tell them, well the SS was just very well trained German soldats. Only a small portion where actually death guard [this is what the SS in the concentration camps are called] And i say i am a SS reenactor yes but i reenact as a Regular soldat not as death guard.
So on to the point i had someone come up to me and say "yeah man Waffen SS i see u wiped all the ashes off your feet" then he walked away, i was shocked. i mean come on i do this stuff for fun and i hate it when people who are uneducated jump to these ridiculous conclusions. I mean come on do some research before if you are looking to insult people.
Just Felt like telling u guys and see what u think about this hobby and me as a SS reenactor. is there really anything wrong with it?

No i am not arian, im not a nazi if that is what you where getting at mabus. I do regular battle reenactments we go to places that invite us along with about 600 other reenactors and we reenact battles for the spectators. Or when we do tacticals there are no spectators and it has missions and stuff. Its alot of fun

Well..........1 most people come from public schools that teach," Hitler and all german soldiers are evil because they killed jews." Were as actually only a very samll portion did. The SS were only well trained soldiers for the most part. I think that would be an awesome hobby! Dont let those people get to you. Besides you gave them a show for gods sake!

I have heard that some renactments are run by rabbis so that no one can claim the reenactors of being pro-nazi.
