Ich schätze Ihr Video über Reenactment sehr! Es war so aufschlussreich und informativ. Als jemand, der neu in Reenactment ist, fand ich es sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihr Wissen mit mir zu teilen.
@@baki4341Yes, they work well. No hobnails lost with regular maintenance. I've gotten ATF low boots as well, and torture tested them. Both are very good. I recommend them.
Thanks for sharing with us,the World War II re-enactment Boots,and giving advice. I really like that Prayer Corner with the Cross,Candle Holder and Incense stick holder I am guessing you maybe are a Devout Catholic. Greetings from Cape-Town,in South-Africa
As a fellow glasses wearer, can you advise on what glasses you use for re-enactment? Are they original dienstbrille? For now I have been wearing contacts or modern 'period looking' glasses, but would like to get more accurate ones eventually. I love your channel and your unit also has great photos btw.
Appreciate that! We put a lot of effort in our impressions togerther. To answer your question: I used original dienstbrille and now I use original civilian ones. New glasses usually are at least a bit different from originals and originals are dirt cheap. In this case the cheap option is also the most authentic one. Just have an optician put new glasses in and you are good to go.
I love the Schaftstiefel/Marschstiefel and want to buy one of them for casual outdoor, such as wandern in the forest. I think I’ll buy some NVA Schaftstiefel because they are not so Loud, because they have rubber sole and no metal nails on teh sole
I absolutely love how cut n dried this fellow is. In his kit/belt video when he demonstrated folding a shelter half “and in case you are all idiots: this is a square.” 😂😂
Thanks a lot! With respect to footwear, where I live (Argentina), it is very difficult economically to find good footwear, sadly I bought short boots but they are very, very bad copies, where do you recommend me to buy better ones, that does international shipping?
You mentioned that frederricis are known for being a little big in the shaft, do you know any manufacturers that make a marschstiefel without an overwide shaft? (I currently have nestof marschstiefel, and they're very good quality, but the shaft is ENORMOUS)
I'm currently building an impression to be a wehrmacht medic in the 2nd panzer devision. Could you please comment the links to the websight you used to get these boots (or any other gear).
Don't have links for now. I can give this advise though: Uniforms: panther store, schusters, gavin. Boots: fredericci (via nestof), at the front, replik. Equipment: Nastaro, vincents equipment, xela39. These are all proper and some excellent vendors.
Marschstiefel are a particular pain in the ass if you fall between sizes (like yours truly) because you'll be too tight on a size down and too loose on a size up. Learning to fold footwraps can save your skin (literally) if this is the case or a good set of marschriemen.
If you want to save money, you can buy a pair of chinese parade boots. They are relatively cheap (around 20 dollars for a pair) and can last a long time. Except for the hobnails they look very similar to the German jackboot
@@dergrenadier also if your dutch how are you allowed to own those stuff, I think those stuff is a big deal there since the Nazis conquered your area. In Asia not so much tho
@@КолзакМикхаылов Yeah the lighting was bad so that can explain it. You can own anything here. No problem. On events with public we are discreet and respectfull, it rarely happens that anyone is offended. Re-enactment is accepted here.
@@dergrenadier your lucky to be born in a country where people have interest in that. In my country German reenactment or reenactment in general is non existent
Great to see you again, i dont do reenacting but still i very much enjoy your content and the time passion and effort you put into this.
I appreciate that. Thank you 😁
Good to see you back, very informative. Merry Christmas.
Merry chistmas!

Very nice, I'm glad to see your videos again. I just got a pair of Fredericci jackboots for my impression.
Nice! How do you like them?
@@dergrenadier best pair of boots I've owned by far, the boots work wonderfully in the snow. Forget walking on smooth tile flooring though.
@@mooveover5758 A year later, how have they served you thus far...are they holding up well

You can order frederrici ready to wear from nestof as well. If you don't want those: I believe replik also had viable options a while back.

what black boot do the german wear in the early stage late war the m43 or the m37
Hello, I would have a question about the soles, how often should linseed oil being applied on it when use is intense and regular?

@@dergrenadier Ah thank you, I have been using Hessen antiques and they are quite nice, or so im told.
@@Kodachrome02 Yha why do you ask?

Learning to fold footwraps can save your skin (literally) if this is the case or a good set of marschriemen.
Choosing your socks right (like with footwraps) also helps in my experience. Otherwise marchriemen are the way to go

I like my boots as accurate as possible. For larping maybe they are fine, but re-enactment should be as close as 1 to 1 with what was seen then.
what's with the yemen flag in the back? (ik its the German empire flag but why flip it?)
It's the Dutch flag mate. Red-white-blue. I'm from the Netherlands
@@dergrenadier it looks black to me but alright

Would you ever consider opening a discord server? We'd love to chat with you more frequently
Never thought about it. Maybe something like that would be nice 🤔
Hé grenadier kan je een Nederlandse video maken
Daar verstaat de rest helaas zo weinig van 😅
@@dergrenadier dat is jammer genoeg zo
Frederrici makes expensive shoes and they don't match the original... I make replica marching boots and boots according to the original patterns.
