      There isn’t anything wrong with people wearing the gear. They paid for it, you can’t really judge them about it. Its their property. So just please don’t call out those men. Let people do whatever they want, wether airsoft or reenactment and stuff. Its discrimination to call out these “old, obese, short” types of people. Keep in mind that reenactment isn’t for specific people. Let them do as they wish. Thats all😅

Rather than don a uniform (which probably does provide some fantasy excitement for them...while the spectators laugh)...why can't they just display their collections until they reach a 1940's wartime physique that is believeable?

    I know it's only a hobby for most of them, but I don't think that most of them are young enough and fit enough to be dressing up as front line infantry soldiers etc.
    Maybe guards at Luftwaffe airfields or flak gunners in the Reich or truck drivers, but they don't really look much like the people who they are supposed to look like.
    If you look at photos of the Fallschirmjager and the Panzer Grenadiers, they were very young men who often looked quite thin, but they were all very fit and athletic, without beerbellies or greying hair or glasses.
    Their self belief and their pride/arrogance (?) also gave them a certain swagger and attitude which is hard to replicate.
    Even the NCOs and the junior officers and the Abteilung and Kompanie commanders were younger than the majority of these reenactors.

      Yeah...Something about a lot of reenactors. It seems they have an inner desire to be feared and held in awe to make up for some sort of insecurity in life. Sort of the Darth Vader admiration syndrome. I bet many fantasize about struting around stiff legged wearing those snappy black SS and gestapo police unis with the NAZI armbands. Now..that said. I have alot of respect for most of the portrayals of the Heer. Correct Waffen SS portrayals including appearance of the portrayer is interesting, but seeing some of these guys?...They better change their names to WAFFLE-ASS. I bet I could make alot of money following these guys around with a Tuba!
