Unit Background |

|
We are a re-enacting group based in central Florida portraying the only Waffen SS paratroop unit to see action in World War 2. Our emphasis is on historical accuracy, kameradschaft and realistic battlefield tactics. Our group has been re-enacting since 1985 all over the country, and is currently very active in the Southeast United States. We had the very great privilege of hosting the last commander of the Batallion, Sturmbannfuhrer Siegfried Milius, at an event sponsored by us in October 1988. Herr Milius has since sadly passed away, but the spirit of he and his men lives on through us. Our unit is open to anyone 16 years of age or older, regardless of race, religion, sex, or physical handicap. We have NO connection with any Nazi or racist organizations and will tolerate no members who espouse such views. Anyone who is interested in joining us should contact us at the e-mail address below. |
