Dave please get in contact with me no promises, but could help.. what merc is it Unimog?? petrol or diesel what symptoms water in oil etc?? Kind regards Jerry

Thank you for finding the group in question whereabouts. But and a big but we need to consider are such units as das reich for one correct for reenactment? Considering their record any portral of such a unit puts it back into view of the public along with the questions and accusations,and the possibility of such events happening here. I feel such units are better off left to dissapear into history and time, out of respect and morality. And to be honest I find living history fascinating, and very educational with out the need to run around a field playing war with a pretty pyrotechnic finale. Is it escapism or living an alter ego?? I wonder if the reenactment has grown due to the shows wanting a bigger and better extravaganza to draw the crowds in .... come to our show there will be a huge war and all the baddies lose don't worry kiddies they all get up at the end light a fag and go for a beer?? I know some will say unfair and flippant, but think to the bigger shows. I feel that a slightly cleansed and neat portrayal of battle is being served to those who need to be shown truth. I,ve listened people all ages and sexes at some events and it disturbs with comments like 'wow whata bang' cor their all dead etc etc. This is not the reality, but a glorification Concerned Jerry

Greetings, Glad to see another Ferret with us!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards HardyFerret

I have watched the the video of the das reich gang,this morning and waited to the eve to think before replying. And now question the sanity of these people, but they must have some intelligence to do a resemblance of fire and maneuverer. They could not perform anything less tasteless, perhaps next on the list could be Mengele at work on his 'specimens'. I know some will find comparisons as such distasteful, but how do you think possibly a child or widow of a man shot out of hand for being who he was or a nuisance to logistics? I really have a problem of association of such people with our movement as I do not want to be grouped with such individuals, but I know we would be by the press and the easily influenced public, I wonder what headline the Daily Star or Sun would come up with. Here we are trying to promote respect and recognition of those who still survive, and remembrance of those who are gone, and we have a bunch of nutters running around portraying headshots, presumable for their own self gratification. Are they for real or is this an early bad taste April fool with Chris Tarrant?? Do they have no respect or self dignity? Presumably no. I know this will bring debate, most likely heated with such an emotive subject. I want no further association with such groups who behave in such a manner and question such a unit as das reich being reenacted considering their infamy. I have put my position and will be counted along i hope with others Regards Jerry

please correst me if Iam wrong so das reich and other reenactors are staging mock war atrocities for film/video?? If so I'm sorry this goes to a level i thought no one could stoop to, Mark in reply to every one has their rights consider the survivors of such actions and the widows children etc what of their rights no one considered them. If such reenacting is taking place even on private venues, Iam appalled you will all hopefully notice no wisecracks etc. I had hoped(?) that reenactors wers potraying reality with sensitivity, but I'm now realising respect is lacking suppose many have no direct link to anyone who endured the horror of conflict yes horror. Let me put it into context next time you see a geat star being hit by a 7.62 AK round in the torso and walking it ain't true as any high velocity round will leave a hole the size of a plate with the receiver crying for mother or god amazing how people turn religious even the most stance atheist. So those who have been there find this glorification disgusting and degrading to those would paid that ultimate price for people. I know we now endure a society of complete tolerance for anything but surely there is still some decency left. Jerry

Can anyone better this??? Sitting here after a nosh of fray bentoss snake n pigmy with new tatties finished off with big mug of hot rum toddy and a fag AHHHHHHHHHHH condor remember?? special frog squad RnR basha Hardyferret

Clive you are a swine !! i've pondered all day over this and amongst friends this has caused quite a debate.. in fact a mass debate Is the brown part rubber or bakelite type material?? What is the current list price in Anne summers Jagshemash congrats on your forthcoming film!!!!!!! Jerry

Iam lucky to live next door to the remains of RNCF holton heath a cordite and munitions factory dating from WW1 and used until mid 1950's have spent many happy hours exploring remains large amont under ground never found any thing on web though?? Regards Hardyferret

Clive, is this some sort of firing hook up to a missile, Regards Jerry

Real pleasure reading Clive's remark's I must agree as I find a lot of re-enactors slightly worrying, why does anyone need to portray Das Reich I'm sure th survivors of Oradour would have a comment or two!! I have looked at a number of German re-enactor sites and a little disturbed... I'm sure there will be a lively debate. Living history fine and the groups I've seen fantastic, history brought to life and the public from what I have seen are fascinated. The reenactments I feel are an excuse to have a pyro displayand play WAR which sorry ain't a game trust me it hurts.. Regards HardyFerret

Slight amendment - Sad Lads/Lasses/Laddets Army Group :-D

I've shut up and sat back and listened to well contructed arguement and drivel How anyone can compare the events of 1914 to the troubles and bloody sunday beggars belief 1, 1914-1918 -conscript army often poorly trained and equipped poorly led 2, Paddy land- professional army with resources this will do to start before we compare terrorist (sorry freedom fighter must be pc) to conscripted soldier A blanket pardon is not on it insults those justified in having their case re-examined and being pardoned and makes a mockery of the judicial systerm in place at the time. Is it even practicable to really do justice with the evidence we have now? There is a case in re-examining all cases but properly so justice is done or to leave sleeping dogs. I feel as others do...Mr Blair what a nice way of catching another front page for a little outlay as there is no one who was there left to argue the toss Am I just being cymical again????????????????
