Funny thing I myself am a Finn and have studied Finnish history for like 3-4 years and dressed in ww2 period uniforms (Now I have switched to Soviet uniforms). I have heard from relatives that have been at war, they have mentioned that those Finnish troops that came from southern areas and cities like Helsinki weren't prepared for the winter war conditions either compared to those who lived in northern and country areas, as example there were lots of "woolen sock thieves" (Villasukkavarkaita) as quoted by relatives and i can understand why as I have been at kariela few times and can tell there is a lot of snow during winter maybe not as cold because of global warming, but proper woolen socks are a treasure of soldiers🤣.

@Ottoman_Reenactor_ct can somebody make a video of how to attach the collar tabs, shoulder boards, & the patch?

I want to thank you very much for this video. I have a modest collection of Soviet era belts and buckles and this is the only information I can find about them. Any Idea who would have used the plain brass or steel buckle, no star, hammer,sickle, or anchor? Again, thank you very much.

This was awesome! Thanks so much for the upload!

I just ordered one from corps sulter. It’s the gray unsewn one. Is there a way of making it tighter and more uniform? Unless that’s how it’s supposed to look I’m fine!!!!❤

The uniform is nice but the Wehrmacht ones are better.

Teşekkürler. İyi ki varsın arkadaş

Sounding good man, have you been able to do any US events yet?

…….“Will you whistle dickey or pull those pistols?”

I LOVE YOU ! :D

That’s cool man, I got the belt and harness, I can never find the tan/whiteish mag pouch, I have a green one in the same design, I have a East German bayonet, but sadly none of my AKs have a proper lug lol

I am now inspired to learn this today on my own flute, great rendition.

Since you like to criticise lack of Russian purges and hlodomor, you could speak about lack of ARMENIAN GENOCIDE in turkish movies. If you're not just one microscopic damn hypocrite germ.

Very well done. I’ve literally been seeing you all over the internet, and it’s nice to see your evolution

This inspired me to buy the hat!!

Hello old friend, your mustache is still glorious.

Ottoman just gave us the moral boost we all needed with that ending

10 parmak 10 marifet 👏🏼👏🏼

I got a very cheap union kepi in colonial williamsburg and it is made with very terrible materials, alot of people would like to take the cheap route and buy union “costumes” but my advice for union reenactors spend the money to get high quality uniforms its expensive but it pays off.

Reading of a Confederate soldier account from the battle of Vicksburg and falling surrendered. "We only heard nothing but heavy guns from Dardanelles upon our fine city, lord knows it cause us nothing but terror and felt like the hammer of god hitting down upon us! After that we were charged by Yankee infantry lead by their officers with their kilijs in the flashing in the sun blinding everyone facing us on that hot day. And the Yankee charge was followed by a loud yell of something strange but likely a insults, they screaming at us through sound of guns screaming 'Dalyarak' with no rest in their mad yells. When the fight was over and we were force to raise the white flag of our defeat towards them, we smell something that we nearly forgotten was food. We found a small strange wagon that clearly cooking of something but no not what it was, we came closer to this wagon with this large hairy waisted man saying 'Kebabıma gel' with a warm yet uncomfortable smile upon his face. After the meals which I must had admit was oddly joyful and filling we granted means to finally clean ourselves and told to go their encampment they were besieging us from to go their tents. Upon which I know not why it was showing signs of steam coming up from some of them, we were finally meant with these largely same gentlemen as the one who given us our first meals but for some odd reason near be a naked almost before us! One of those strange beast of men look to me in a odd way of speech that I think he said 'You come massage' as I was taken to near naked state as he and with strong force clean my person in a manner both put me in a mix of terror and ease. I found myself shortly after that finally witness the general in command of this here Yankee army that fought us, it was no more than General Utku Soner Galip upon his horse looking down from open his mount and gave me a stare that will last with me until my final days."

When Ottoman kid shows up with the Yankee drip.

a good addition would be instead of a knapsack use a blanket roll in my opinion its more comfortable but its up to individual preference but if you do want to go with a knapsack paint on it it was common for soldiers to paint on there knapsack haversack and canteen it could be something as simple as you initials of as complex as your regiment another thing to add to your impression especially a mid to late war eastern theatre would be a corps badge on your coat or hat the corps badge was a source of pride for the soldier it could be made of fabric or any other material they were often a private purchase with the more expensive options being gold or silver and the cheaper options being fabric

Great video! 👍 As a Union Civil reenactor here in America I have to say your impression is very good. I also have bought reenactment clothing from the same place as you did. They do indeed make some of the top quality clothing in the hobby. For brogans thy Missouri boot and shoe . He is very good. Also when putting on all your equipment try putting on the canteen last. That way you can drink water without having to take your knapsack off. 😊

Cool man, nice set up, I only have a CS cap pouch, I use it two hold two zippo’s and fire starting stuff

No regulation necktie or cravat with this uniform?

Thank you for this Christmas Gift! Ottoman Reenactor, I have always enjoyed your presentations. Your family must be proud of you as a Gentleman, Scholar and Soldier. Happy Holidays!

Estan chidos 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

The Iron Brigade was known for aways going into battle in formal uniform (frock) and hat.

I'm impressed, a lot of the civil war youtube videos are very farby but you look great. Also nice to see a frock that actually fits. I've poored over tons of photos, and you're justified wearing a frock for a general impression they were definitely still pretty common in the late war, along with the blouses and various non-descript 9 button jackets.

What do you mean when you say an item is ‘mainstream’ ?

Where did u buy the uniform? And where to buy a good kepi

Waiting for a Dixie version...

Based

Cute + cute accent + cool moustache + reenactor = dream man

Good video. Afghanka is the most elegant uniform of the '80-'90's.

Very cool stuff :)

Nice video and graceful mustache mate

Omg, I need a turkish breadbag! I've loved this design since I was a kid, and I've made my own improvements, and a turkish one is a must for my collection 😁

I rather see what did the Finns use? I read just wool pants and wool tunics with a white cape and white thin layer pants...was that enough to keep them warm?

That's a really good one! If possible, could you share where you find these items or where you buy them? It would be very helpful to young reenactors like me. I appreciate it!
