Well my cousin does reenacting as a Canadian Voltigeur now, at least those lads wear nice warm bearskins.

I don't have any...

Sorry, this was a tactical event not a historical one, we weren't allowed to bring tech.

Did anyone of you travel using public transport while wearing your Uniform + Equipment?

What was the response, did the police ask you stupid questions?

We were using my uncle's flatbed. A couple of people were curious why 3 Middle Eastern dudes were in the back of a truck dressed as Scotsmen holding muskets, but the cops didn't bother us.

I definitely would never do something like that with a WW2 uniform in Germany. There is a law that forbids wearing Wehrmacht uniforms in public. It is probably allowed if it just for getting to an event, but I am sure you will be facing a lot of trouble.

What I really wanted to know, was if anyone did it in Europe and what the general responses were. I am mostly relying on public transport and I would like to know if anyone had any problems with doing that.


I had bad experience already, and all I did was carrying a bow and a small replica knife and arrows over the streets. The police basically stopped me and told me to hand them over the arrows... But that happened long ago, I maybe was 12 year old back then and by law I would not have been allowed to carry that knife.

If I were you, I'd bring a knapsack to the event and get in uniform once you get there.

Yeah honestly it's no big deal just plain feldgrau trouser and knit shirt. That's it. Keep the swasitka shit in the bag.

Had odd looks in my Soviet kit on the train and bus before, but tend to remove cap badge and epaulettes, no trouble though

Well today Generation won't think you're weird. They'll probably think you're either homeless or a hipster.
