Let's discuss: Reenacting!

[Duuring]

I'm currently considering a new impression; Polish Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising. Not sure whether I'll do it, just doing the research atm.

[zac]

I want to do that!! Keep me in the loop!! Seriously!!!

[Duuring]

I could use your help (or that of anyone knowing German uniforms), I have some trouble identifying the several models of German camo used in the city by the Home Army.

I also need stuff on Polish pre-war uniforms. If anyone has anything, gib.

 Warlord Games did a good article on Polish uniforms in the 30's: http://www.warlordgames.com/wwii-polish-uniform-guide/
  Not too sure on the Germans but Artizan Designs has a few guides on German camouflage: http://www.artizandesigns.com/painting-guides.php I know they are for wargaming but they are quite good guides. I do not know about specific camouflage schemes that would have been used by German troops in Warsaw (and possibly reused by the Poles), it would probably be best to try and find an order of battle and see which units had what.
 

[Duuring]

The Germans had camostores in Warsaw which the Poles captured and then used for themselves. Most of them wear SS-dot camos, though you see the use of splinter camo once in a while. A few Poles can be seen wearing regular uniform jackes, with small Polish flags sewn on the collar, over the german insignia.

[Duuring]

Any help identifying these camos would be great.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of 1812 infantry parade pantalons? 

[Duuring]

I thought parade pantaloons were abolished in 1812?

[Mr T]

Don't think so, can't see why they would've done either. Plus I asked around before and no one said that they were abolished.

[Wolff]
