WW2 Reenacting Organizations

On this page, you will find a list of the many WWII "parent" organizations. These are the overall organizations that put on events and that most Units/clubs belong to. If you don't already have a unit or are looking to join, it is a good idea to find one of these organizations in your area and contact them -- they can then help you find a good unit and get started.

To add your unit link, please go to our link-add page.

If you find a problem in this time/area or would like your unit listed please feel free to e-mail the WW2 T/A webmasters: Harry Coombs or Rob Haught.

The World War 2 Historic Preservation Group (USA, MidLant, PA, MD, VA) An East Coast WWII reenacting umbrella organization. W2HPG is an innovator in WWII reenacting by being the first organization to use the http://www.reenactor.net/graefcs/" target="_blank">Combat System.

The WWII Historical Re-enactment Society, Inc. (HRS) (USA, MidWest) Usually just referred to as the "HRS", this was the first WWII Reenacting organization in the US, holding battles back in the mid-seventies. The WWII HRS has an international membership approaching 1000 men and women. Collectors of militaria, historians, businessmen, students, and anyone who fosters an interest in the Second World War are a part of a unique group that depicts the events of the European Theater of Operations from 1939-1945. The Society is devoted to studying the historical importance of the infantryman in that global conflict. We hope to educate the public on the importance of preserving artifacts of that era and fostering the growth of reenacting as a hobby. The WWII HRS was founded in 1976 and is not a political, religious, or para-military organization, nor does it permit ideological activities by it's members. Our purpose and goal is to keep alive the traditions of the WWII combat soldier from all nations. Scheduled public performances, ceremonies (Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, etc.) and special events give our members the opportunity to display the uniforms, ay, etc.) and special events give our members the opportunity to display the uniforms, weapons, equipment, and camp life of that era.
	The California Historical Group World War II Living History Association (USA, Californa/West Coast) A non-profit educational and historical society.

Our club events consist of battle reenactments and public displays, in effort to better educate the general public as well as our selves on the daily rigors of the common soldier in WWII.

The NWHA encourages people with an interest in the Second World War to join in the fun and challenge of reenacting. You will gain greater understanding of what life was like as an infantryman facing other infantrymen in a grim struggle beyond your control. The Northwest Historical Association is an organization dedicated to the preservation of the history of World War II. We are amateur historians who collect militaria, books, firearms, and vehicles. We exhibit our collections to interested parties and relive that era via tactical battles and displays. We are not survivalist, Nazis, neo-Nazis, or affiliated with any militias. We do not espouse any political views while gaming. We are and will remain non-political.

Indiantown Gap event (called "FIG" or the "GAP" by reenactors). The website is somewhat disjointed -- after you get there, hit refresh and it seems to work better. Also, realize that FIG is put on for them (the organizers), not for reenactors... it will keep you from being pissed off later!

As we pursue these aims, we do not allow any political involvement to enter our actions.
