Fort Indiantown Gap PA hosted the annual WWII Battle of the Bulge Reenactment January 28 - 31, 2009. One of my brothers and I drove there on the 30th. I was interested in portraits, and managed to take a number of decent ones, This year we could actually see some of the mock battle through the trees and undergrowth - and mass of spectators – so there are many shots of reenactors in combat roles posted. The sky was overcast all day, so this year's images certainly have a different look that last year's... What you see here is one of many photos I'll be posting of reenactors in US and German uniforms. (Please note: You may catch an occasional glimpse of a military swastika on a German uniform or helmet - not often, but enough that if it would be something you'd rather not to have happen to you, then I recommend you look only at the GIs & Brits.) The Battle of the Bulge was a momentous and historic event that proved decisive in the Second World War in Europe. This collection of reenactors' images reflects modern-day individuals' passion to portray soldiers and civilians from the nations involved in the actual event - the Second World War, and specifically, the Battle of the Bulge. That was a meaningful time for all the men and women who took part in it. Honoring their memory is key to those who participate in this annual reenactment, recreating the zeitgeist. FYI, the “All Sizes” option (the magnifying glass icon above the photo) lets you see a larger image. See more WWII reenactment photos in my World War 2 Reenactment Set.
