Normandy 75th 2019

Post by chrisnz » Sun Feb 11, 2018 2:16 pm

Hey guys, my wife and myself are planning a trip to Normandy for the 75th anniversary next year, the 6th of June 2019 is also my 40th birthday. I am looking for a reenactment group that will adopt me, I would like to be involved in a reenactment of some sort while there, can anyone recommend any groups that will be there that would be happy to have a couple of kiwis, I can be either US para or infantry, my wife can reenact a nurse, I can drive vehicles and have experience with most ww2 US weapons.

I'd love to take my 42 WC-51, but at the moment, money and time are the problems...

Yea, that has been one of my dreams for me and my 43 WC63 that was used in Europe during WW2 to do. But at 64 and not in great health, doesn't look like it will happen.

Go if there is anyway you can......

Hey guys I thought I had subscribed to this thread but don't appeared to have so only just remembered to sort it out, Myself and my wife will be in Normandy from the 4th to the 8th, we will have a uniform and are looking for anything exciting that we can join in on, any suggestion/gatherings etc we can do, we are located about 10 mins walk from Omaha Beach.
