We are a Dutch reenactment group portraying an Airborne rifle squad in the ETO, during 1944 and 1945. Since we are from Holland, our first and foremost impression is Market-Garden. As such, we try to give the public an accurate, 'living snapshot' of how the men looked who fought and bled on our country's soil for our freedom. In honour of the men of the Greatest Generation and the Dutch civilian survivors of WW2, our goal is to be the most accurate airborne living history group we can be.
All our members have different reasons for pursuing this goal, but the thing that binds us is our mutual intrest in WW2 history and the quest for historical accuracy.
Never forget September 1944! Onward skysoldier, Bill Lee!
All our members have a good knowledge of the gear they carry and the history of the unit(s) we portray. This is important to us, because we have noticed that each time we have a public appearance, people (especially children) come up to us and ask al kinds of questions. We feel that it is our responsibility to give accurate information, especially because people get a lot of (sometimes really bad) historic information from Hollywood and videogames. So, our members not only have to learn WW2 soldiering, but history aswel!
We strongly believe that, especially in our country, it is important for the youth of today to know that their freedom should not be taken lightly, or as a given. It was earned.
