Title
Kompanie1 WW2 Re-enactment Society (uk)
Description
Based in the UK, Kompanie 1 is currently one of the largest re-enactment societies in Europe taking part in public and private battles around the country as well as putting on static displays at officially organised military and WWII shows. Until recently, Kompanie 1 specilalised on the 12thSS Hitlerjugend, but we now have a range of units that we re-enact. We are fully aware that some people may misconstrue our historical interest which is why we are fully recognised by all official military vehicle societies and police authorities in the UK 'Kompanie 1' concentrate on the front line soldier, what he wore and how he fought. We do this by thoroughly researching every aspect of the units we portray in combat. We wear totally authentic reproduction uniforms and mainly original kit and try to follow genuine battle tactics. We then put all this into practice by taking part in private battles around the country against other re-enactment societies. Out of battle, we operate a more relaxed regime, opting not to concentrate on drills and parades but concentrating on realism and total authenticity in reproducing a 'front line' combat soldier in battle. Our
attention to detail and discipline during battles has made us recognised and respected amongst re-enactors and organisers alike, and we have recently been asked to organise the public battles for one of the countries leading WWII railway events. All weapons used at these events are legally owned, and proper instruction is given on how to use them safely. We have a number of contacts with other groups around the country, assuring us a regular supply of battles and other events throughout the year and a regular newsletter is sent out informing you of events and all the usual things. We also have a 'members only' web site which will give you all the info you need to know about the group, re-enacting, dealers and other related items as well as our own message boards and forums etc.
