I've done it once or twice. It's not my primary or even secondary impression, but it was interesting.

Doubt it-don't have a Brit Para kit, nor a German kit. I know, I know, all impressions welcome, but...

Anyway, I'm supposed to be an extra in a movie that weekend anyway.

LOL, William, I think you need to get some more range time in, this was a miss and a half

Speaking of film work, I was involved in the filming of a program over here a while back, 'days that shook the world' for the BBC, it was about Krystal Nacht and was the most pathetic thing I have been involved in as a re-enactor, it was just plain shabby. I mean, something tells me Hitlers bodyguard didn't eat curry or use paper napkins, particularly not in an old church hall!

Rip, if you ever wanna go german I have a 2nd kit I can loan you. Just let me know. I wish you'd reconsider for the event, it'd be awesome to have you there.

A loaner kit, eh? Hmmmm...

I'll see how the movie shoot is-I honestly haven't heard from the guy in awhile. In fact, he was supposed to be getting ahold of you and a few others from the 25th for this as well.

I just thought it would be exactly that, interesting. Plus there are so many German and American/British re-enactors that I thought I might help tip the balance a bit. Even though there is not much I can stand about the Russians during the War.
