Die Beobachter LHG
The group’s primary focus is artillery observation; therefore, we showcase optical equipment and communication gear. We also feature light vehicles, such as bicycles and motorcycles. Our main area of interest lies in the Luftwaffe Field Divisions, covering both the Eastern and Italian fronts. Occasionally, we also portray grenadiers from these divisions, as well as members of the *Feldgendarmerie* (military police). Within the group, there is also a women’s section portraying the DRK (German Red Cross) and *Luftwaffe Helferin* (Luftwaffe female auxiliaries); we are also planning to include *Flak Helferin* (anti-aircraft female auxiliaries).

Scots at War Living History Society
The Scots at War Living History Society is an educational, non-profit living history group dedicated to the authentic portrayal, study, and preservation of Scottish experiences during 20th-century warfare. Covering the era from 1899 to 1945, the society focuses on the military service and domestic sacrifices that shaped the nation through major conflicts like the First and Second World Wars. Rather than just recreating battles, our goal is to bring to life the complex social, political and economic forces of the time by highlighting the lived experiences of both frontline individuals, including medical personnel and iconic Highland Regiments like The Black Watch and the civilians who supported them back home. Members dress in detailed, period-accurate uniforms and civilian kit to tell the stories of factory workers, shipbuilders, nurses, and frontline soldiers alike. Whether collaborating with major institutions at heritage sites like Fort George or conducting deep historical research into forgotten wartime individuals, the Scots at War Living History Society ensures that the legacy, memory, and heritage of Scotland's wartime generation remain vividly accessible to the general public

Army Nurse Corps z. s. WWII Living History Association
The Army Nurse Corps z. s. is a historical association made up of young women who share a passion for the history and culture of the United States in the 1940s and World War II. Our primary focus is the American Army nurses. The Army Nurse Corps has been an official branch of the U.S. Army since 1901. Our goal is to authentically portray the appearance, uniforms, equipment, and living conditions of nurses serving in American medical facilities during WWII. Through collecting historical items, traveling to significant sites, and speaking with veterans, we strive to recreate the past as faithfully as possible. We pay close attention to details such as hairstyles, makeup, and personal belongings. We want to show that women like us—only 80 years ago—had to endure harsh conditions while working with the awareness that the lives of hundreds of soldiers depended on them. Today, we are the only organized, all-female reenactment group portraying the Army Nurse Corps in Central Europe. Our ranks currently include 20 members and recruits from across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Our activities include participating in historical reenactments at home and abroad, organizing static displays and lectures, and collaborating with historical institutions and organizations that promote American culture. Membership in the Army Nurse Corps z. s. WWII Living History Association is voluntary and based on friendly relations and mutual respect. The group may be joined by women who believe that our activities coincide with their interests. Your place of residence does not matter, however, most of our events take place in the EU. Some basic information about how the group works: - The minimum age is 15 years. For persons under the age of 18, the written consent of their legal guardian is required. - The probation begins after the first joint meeting and lasts 1 year. - During the trial period, the candidate begins completing the basic uniforms and equipment (specified on our website). - After successfully completing the trial period, the recruit can submit an application to join the association as a member. - Monthly fees are collected in the group. The costs of travel, accommodation, uniforms and equipment are covered by each member and recruit. - Medical knowledge and / or education is not required. - Each member and recruit should get involved in the life of the group as much as possible: come to the meetings, prepare for the displays, be active on social media. - It should be noted that the historical reenactment does not end with buying the required minimum of uniforms and equipment. It is a long process of constantly acquiring new items and, above all, knowledge. How to join us? The first step is to read the information on our website and fill out the contact form in the "Contact" section. You can also send us a private message on our Facebook or Instagram page. In your message, please introduce yourself, share your interests, and describe any previous experience with historical reenactment. It’s also helpful to mention why you’d like to join our group. A member of our team will then reach out to discuss any questions you may have. She will give you instructions on how to get started and let you know the date of our next event. This meeting is a great opportunity to get to know each other, talk, and see what historical reenactment looks like “behind the scenes.” At the beginning, we provide support with uniforms and equipment until the recruit is able to purchase the required basics. After the first meeting, the candidate decides whether she wants to remain in the group. If she enjoys what we do and wants to continue, she becomes a recruit. From that point on, she can begin collecting uniforms and equipment, expanding her knowledge, and taking part in all of our group’s events.
