News: We are happy to announce that we have our new "link mod" working—our programmer out-did himself on making it!! The program allows YOU to add your link yourself, unlike the old "add-me form" we had. Please, go to http://www.reenactor.net/forums/index.php/page,167.html and add your unit's link, if we don't have it. For that matter, you can update links too. We still have many of the old links up, as it is a process to do a lot of them. However, we will be working to update links as fast as possible-- soon, ALL the unit links and historical links will be done this way!!
This page covers all the "Other Allied" participants. This means the French, the Dutch, the Belgians... all Allies who fought in WWII, but are not usually seen portrayed outside their respective countries. Why not have a page for each? A page for each would be burdensome, so for now we will do it this way. Please check out these fine units and look at their sites.
To add your unit link, please go to our link-add page.

Listing of Allied WWII Units
The Allies of World War II were the countries officially opposed to the Axis powers during the Second World War. Within the ranks of the Allied powers, the British Empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States of America were known as "The Big Three." U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the Big Three and China as the "Four Policemen". France, before its defeat in 1940 and after Operation Torch was considered as a major ally, though Poland's commitment was, in fact, larger.
During December 1941, Roosevelt devised the name "United Nations" for the Allies, and the Declaration by United Nations, on 1 January 1942, was the basis of the modern UN. At the Potsdam Conference of July-August 1945, Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, proposed that the foreign ministers of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States "should draft the peace treaties and boundary settlements of Europe," which led to the creation of the Council of Foreign Ministers.
Allied Reenacting
Allied reenacting units consist of groups doing impressions of almost every major nation which participated n the war. The United States, Britain, Canada and The USSR being the major nations reenacted today.
Bear with us
We have been performing a major overhaul of updating the Allied unit links for reenactor.net. LOTS of units have been added and placed back on the links page. This is a long slow process, so please have patience. If you would like your unit listed please fell free to e-mail us.
