Statement of Purpose
The world has seen many armed conflicts in its past,
but none as significant as World War II. More men were under
arms than ever before in history. The world as we know it
grew out of that conflict.
Today, some sixty years later, a group of people have formed
to remember those men who fought in that war and to preserve
the uniforms, weapons, equipment, and vehicles of that era.
Militeria collectors, history enthusiasts, military vehicle
owners, students, businessmen, and active and veteran military
personnel fill our ranks as members. Our purpose is to recreate
by living example the experiences of the World War II combat
soldier.
As members of the 1. SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte A.H.
we demand three things of our members; safety, authenticity,
and a non-racist orientation. Next to girls, politics
was the number one discussion of the average German soldier
in WW2. We will carry on the tradition but only "in-character"
of the period. We want to always remember not to let things
get out of hand, however: this is a GAME!
Our goal is to educate the public to the importance of
World War II history and to sponsor the growth and development
of reenacting as a highly rewarding, educational and FUN hobby.
