World War 2 Reenactment as a German MG42 Gunner - Big WW2 Military Camp - Borlo Belgium [PART 1]

Hello my friends!
Here I am once again with a new video!
I will take you with me during a WW2 reenactment in Borlo, Belgium!
Me and my friend Bert were invited to participate in this reenactment, so we went there as German Wehrmacht soldiers.
I decided to go as a machine gunner, so of course I took my MG42 with me.
Bert went as my helper, and he decided to take his Mauser K98k with him.
Together we, we were a good Historically Correct team!
A lot happened during this reenactment, and one of these things resulted in me getting furious, and never ever going back here again.
The videos will be uploaded in parts, so stay tuned for the rest!
Enjoy the video! :)

I'm a big fan of the K98k Mauser. I have 5 of them, 1937, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943. Great rifle. Thanks for the video.

[@Neu_Hooligan]

try to find one from 1945, a Kriegsmodell version, its my favorite version of the K98, really shows the German despair of the last days of the war

[@leemcginnis738]

@@Neu_Hooligan I had one. A DOU 45, in it original stock. But I sold it a long time ago. Now I wish I still had it.

[@Neu_Hooligan]

@@leemcginnis738 a friend of mine had a BYF 45, it was beautiful, i like these more last ditch firearms, someday im going to shoot a MP 3008, soon

Love reenactment videos, especially when you show how you gather your equipment and the preparation process before going to the event.

[@StreamNationSN]

I wonder if German troops showed off their cool gear before fighting aswell

[@msweat]

Years ago I bought a K98 action as I couldn't afford the whole rifle all at once. Over time I got a barrel installed on it. Later I picked up a stock, sling and bayonet. It was a parts gun in every sense but I liked it. Sadly, I had to sell it when my wife and I were both unemployed. Sure wish I had it now.

[@russellmay7347]

Unfortunately it's a common problem MS !! SORRY to hear that you had to sell anything...TBH !! a good friend of mine EX RN has mass collection of gear :V'NAM WERMACHT ETC he ain't had best of it HEALTH WISE !! our original plan was for ME to buy a sizeable chunk of it !? BUT MY HM FORCES GRATUITY WAS GONE ...AND PERIOD of unemployment NOT HELPING. BEING A MILITARIA COLLECTOR and reenactor you end up with a large collection of gear !! LOL ....BUT this year the few trade fairs I've been too!? certainly there is a mega cost increase ...ALL TO UNFORTUNATELY ! IM HOPING for a better yr next one ??! AND getting bk into some TAC AIRSOFT ALSO!. GD LUCK WITH YOUR COLLECTION ETC
