Not gonna lie, every time I have my wool overcoat on or I see someone else’s with one on and they don’t have any field gear on it reminds me of Schultz from Hogans Heroes

When I got out of the US Army in 1971, I had to turn in my OD Field Jacket which was the one piece of clothing I wanted to keep. I don't know if they reissued it because they were in short supply or if they sold them on the surplus market, but it really pissed me off.

I recommend at the front, they are a bit pricey but they are great quality. If you are on a budget id choose what price glory. Quality is a little worse but they are still decent

If you don't have enough sheep, you had to use a cotton padded telegreika style jacket like the communists did (probably much lighter for the insulation provided, but really suspect in the rain).

Hi there, first off I would like to compliment the video and encourage this wonderful hobby. I am pretty new to reenacting and am doing the German 275th ID mid to late 1944 / generic German infantryman Western Front mid to late 1944. I had a question for you: Within German reenacting you will often hear how the Germans threw away their gas mask and stuff the canister with personal items. However, this appears to be a German reenacting anachronism and commonly held misconception that did not actually happen that often. In the German army Inspection of equipment was at least somewhat regular and you were expected to have your gas mask and have it maintained in working order. So my question was, do we know for sure that the G.I.s threw away their gas masks or is it possible this is another misconception that circulates throughout the reenacting community? (By the way, I am not criticizing you or acting like I know more, i am genuinely curious, especially since I am doing research on U.S. equipment and uniforms to compare and contrast them with the Germans')

Only thing what I hate about doing 3rd armored division impression, is I have my m65 jacket on, and I put my belt on and it's tight, so I gotta adjust it, and it makes me look fat, but it's warm. 1965 Not ww2.

might i add i noticed a few mistakes in your videos with the ta50 the biggest one that stood out to me was the gaiters ummm i hate to tell you but they don't do anything to keep water out and while i served in the infantry myself though we were not issued gatiers i did ask soldiers that were issued the equipment what purpose they serve and they replied to keep brush dirt and bugs out of the boots which makes sense we bloused our boots for the same reason also the manner in which you sling the pro mask pouch would have been ok if you grab it under fire otherwise it's worn on the hip or the chest and the mask is inserted a certain way if you want more information on that i can elaborate for you 😏👍 doin good tho man keep history alive

just thought about a little tid bit never saw in the fm/tm but we would go to hobby lobby and get a block of parifin wax and rub it on the outside of the material then throw it in the dryer for about 10 minutes repeat about 5-10 times and it will be as water proof as you can get how we treated our shelter half of course you know grunts if it's not raining were not training 😂
