  • Hello my friends!!
    It's time for a new video!
    Last weekend, I went to the Manhay (Belgium) in the Ardennes, to participate in a huge WW2 Reenactment!
    What an amazing experience it was..
    There was so much to see!
    Displays everywhere, authentic vehicles, and hundreds of reenactors!
    Our camp was located close to the Manhay History 44 museum, we could see the famous Panzerkampfwagen V Panther from our position!
    It was freezing, and I had to spent the night in my pup tent!
    And the battles we had.. these were the most intense, realistic and insane battles I've ever participated in!
    Of course there were much more things to do, but enough talking now, it's time to watch!
    I hope you enjoy the video!! :)

    I was lucky enough to know a gentleman who was in the battle of the bulge and every night he would wake up in pain and his wife would have to take the covers off of his feet because the frostbite messed his feet up real bad. Just the slightest touch to his feet would send him into a fit of pain. He always told me he only survived because him and his fox hole buddy had to bear hug cuddle each other to share warmth throughout each night.
    His saying he always said was “if I had to do it again, I would……but I really prefer not too”. He was a legend. Such a humble man!

      I also bought a post war M1 helmet with a Belgium flag on the liner with a good pirce of £45! I used to use a 1972 American helmet but it was probably not used in the vietnam war because the Americans left vietnam in 1972 so probably not, I still have both helmets and very happy with my new purchase.

    Just loved the videos Nick to just take one step into what it was like for the soldiers of all nations who lived in hell literally. Forget who was on who’s side for a second. Just the sheer willpower to stay in these conditions without a bullet or bomb coming on its own, deserves respect to those who are no longer here in this world!
    They where the greatest generation that Nick and others like him are doing, is in memory of them and what they did for freedom! Thank you Nick and fellow re-enactors for your portrayal of these boys and men, who fought and died inside by side! May we never forget the sacrifice they did for us all.

They were good men who did their duty and made sacrifices so that Europe (at least the Western portion) could be free from totalitarianism.
