Welcome to the 2/Pz.Aufkl.Abt.Grossdeutschland website.

Our aim is to research and portray as accurately as possible the rifle men of an armoured reconnaissance unit within the elite 'Grossdeutschland' Division of World War II.

Our members have many reasons for joining the group. Some have a keen historical interest in WWII, some have interest in the weapons and tactics used, others join for the Kameradschaft, but above all our goal is to share the knowledge that we have about the conflict and the soldiers that fought in it.

We attempt to set the highest possible standards in all areas of our portrayal - from our uniforms and equipment to our living history displays and battle reenactments.

As you will see from the pictures on our site, we attend many different events throughout the season, from tactical weekends, to public displays - we've even taken part in TV work.

So, if you have any questions or are interested in joining a rapidly growing group with an equally rapidly growing and varied events calendar, come along to our next shows at either Ashby Magna, Leicestershire or Tankfest 2008 at the Bovington Tank Museum and see us for a chat. If you can't wait for that, why not browse our forum, either way we look forward to hearing from you!

This is strictly a non political organisation and seeks only to portray the uniforms and equipment of the ordinary German soldier of world war two. No deliberate attempt is made to glorify the political beliefs of those who were in power at the time. Anyone attempting to use the group as an outlet to promote or further their own extreme poltical beliefs or ideals will not be tolerated.
