Exciting times ahead for GD Recon!

GD Recon portray rifle men of an armored reconnaissance unit within the elite 'Grossdeutschland' Division that mainly saw active service on the Russian front during World War II.

2008 sees them taking an exciting change of direction with new members, new shows to attend, new ideas for displays and photoshoots and also strengthening links with English Heritage and Event Plan.

Members have many reasons for joining the group. Some have a keen historical interest in WWII, some have interest in the weapons and tactics used, others join for the 'Kameradschaft', but the main aim is to share the knowledge that they have about the conflict and the soldiers that fought in it.

They are always on the lookout for motivated recruits with historical knowledge and a genuine interest in WWII and especially 'Grossdeutschland' (an interest in German beer is also helpful for when the public goes home!).

Spreading the word about Axis Re-enactment, with the 116 Panzer Division �Der Windhund�

If you were to have watched TV recently, you might be forgiven for thinking that re-enactors are a danger, a menace to society, or a bunch of misguided extremists.

Nothing of course could be further from the truth, as shown by the display of the 116 Panzer Division 'Der Windhund' at the recent 1940s show held at Rougham. Being the only group there re-enacting German, the �Windhund� managed to confound public preconceptions. Far from being pariahs they found themselves very much the centre of attention! After some confusion on the Saturday surrounding the Black Panzer Uniform and to allay any misunderstanding the group adapted their approach and on the Sunday the 116 impressed the public with a display of the many different uniforms a member of a Panzer Division may have worn during the period 1944 � 45.

The group re-enacts Panzergrenadiers (Motorised infantry) of 116 Panzer, and form a machine gun squad: although recently with the group growing they have managed to diversify, and can now boast vehicles, flak guns and more. If you would like to know more about this re-enactment group, please visit the website http://www.windhund.org.uk/.
