Hello All,
I posted most of my images in the People forum. As stated there, this was from last Memorial Day weekend show put on by the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas. I really look forward to attending their next one in November. The actors were very forthcoming with being photographed and the club did a great job with authenticity. It was a unique experience for sure and I was surprised at how much I actually liked it.

2. Pure Luck! A demo of a Mauser

3. Mic.

4. It was surreal to see the Nazi symbols everywhere. Especially when coupled with the fact that a lot of this really was used in the war.

5. Hummers in a row.

Thanks for looking! Any C and C is appreciated.

    The processing of #4 is beautiful. Very "authentic".

    My son was involved withWwIi re-enactments for years. I would follow along stealthy like to get photos of their battles. It was very interesting to watch. These are great. I can appreciate #2 and 4 is very authentic looking! thumb.gif

    I appreciate that! I noticed a few young men participating in the reenactment. I will be sure to give them a little more lens time in November. What a cool hobby for them: living history!

    Yes...they would re-enact real battles - quite a learning experience! but, my son left the re-enactment after his teen years and joined the Army in real life last year! That is how much the re-enactment affected him!

    Please be sure to tell him I said "Thanks for serving our Country".
