Listing of "Other" Allied WWII Units

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.

(Midatlantic USA) The Polish American Living History Association is a non profit, educational organization dedicated to the preservation and public education of Poland's fight during WWII. We differ from the standard concept of a "reenactment unit" in that PALHA members may chose more than one primary Polish "impression." So are we a WW2 reenactment unit? Yes we are. That, and more. The concept is that while most reenactment units choose a particular regiment or company from a specific date and place to portray, PALHA's goal is to demonstrate to the public the enormity of the Polish contribution to WWII, which is truly immense. With that in mind, we have the ability to portray many different Polish formations, from 1939 to 1945. The sorts of events that we attend are also quite varied. We have participated in battle reenactments, parades, living history displays, have performed honor guard duties, and have given speeches and presentations at local schools
	92nd Regiment d'Infanterie (USA) 1940 French Infantry group based in Central Virginia.
	13th Demi-Brigade, Legion Étrangère (USA) The Home Page of the French Foreign Legion Historical Society. We are non-profit, tax-exempt organization, whose function is to portray the history of the Foreign Legion from 1939 to 1954. In this capacity, we cover World War II and the Indochina war. By doing this, we seek to honor all Legionnaires, especially those, many forever unknown, who paid the extreme sacrifice for a country they were never be able to call their own.
	Compañía Histórica 2éme. DB: “La Nueve” (EU) The Compañía Histórica 2éme. DB: “La Nueve” is a reenacting group that intends to remember the Spanish Republican soldiers that fought with the 2nd Free French Armoured Division, also known as the “Leclerc Division”. The 9th company (“La Nueve”), which was alsmost exclusively composed of Spaniards, was the first Allied unit to enter Paris on the 24th August, 1944, on vehicles that carried names such as “Teruel”, “Guadalajara”, “Ebro” and “Santander”. The members of the current Compañía Histórica 2éme. DB: “La Nueve” want to present the different aspects of the life of Spanish exiles who fought as members of the Free French forces. In this way, we want to honour the memory of Spanish Republican soldiers who fought during the Second World War
	WWII French Résistance (F.F.I.) (Texas, USA) l'As de C'ur maquis has been a recognized unit in the Texas Military Historical Society since 1996. We are World War Two reenactors, our primary interest is in gathering, preserving and displaying the equipment, weapons and uniforms of a French AS-MUR maquis. We also enjoy participating in living history events and TMHS's private tactical battles. Our headquarters is in Austin, Texas. The maquis we portray was a part of the Corréze area Armée Sécret in 1944. It helped slow the 2. SS Division (Das Reich) on its way to the Normandy beachhead.
	Netherlands 1940-1945 Study and Living History Group (Holland) The Netherlands 1940-1945, Study and Living History Group aims to educate people at events in Holland and abroad about how the civilian population lived through the occupation of Europe during the Second World War.
The Polish American Living History Association (USA) The Polish American Living History Association is a non profit, educational organization dedicated to the preservation and public education of Poland's fight during WWII. With members based in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and Illinois, we participate in camp displays, tactical events, parades, and other events designed to both explore this fascinating history as well as to educate the public on this remarkable chapter of WW2 that has largely been untold. Our overlying principles are best described by our mission statement as quoted from the organization's constitution, "To honor the memory of Polish soldiers during WWII, fighting on all fronts, through our research, public education and living history." To accomplish this end our organization seeks motivated individuals who commit to accurately research and portray the common Polish soldier of WWII. We differ from the standard concept of a "reenactment unit" in that PALHA members may chose more than one primary Polish "impression." Are we a WW2 reenactment unit? Yes we are. That, and more. The concept is that while most reenactment units choose a particular regiment or company from a specific date and place to portray, PALHA's goal is to demonstrate to the public the enormity of the Polish contribution to WWII, which is truly immense.
20th Infantry Regiment, 1939 (USA, Chicago area) 20th Infantry Regiment (20 Pulk Piechoty) "Ziemi Krakowskiej". Only US based Reenactment Group portraying Polish soldier in 1939 campaign. Based in the Chicago area.
	1st Infantry Division "Tadeusza Kosciuszki" (USA) We are a group of reenactors who decided to expand our impression. The Eastern Front events are becoming more popular in United States. However a lot of people don't feel comfortable wearing a uniform with red star. That is one of the reasons why we decide to portray 1st Polish Division. By the end of the war Poles had almost 400.000 soldiers on the eastern front also for that reason we think that its about time to pay respect to all those Poles who found themselves in ranks of LWP and bravely fought to liberate Poland from German occupation. We think that by reenacting Poles who fought on the eastern front we are paying a tribute to all those brave soldiers who died fighting for independent Poland. Unfortunately, they were fighting in vain because German occupation was replaced by Soviet occupation for almost 50 years
	Jewish Brigade (USA) This page is dedicated to the Jewish Brigade group and all who served the allies in WW2, we are seeking more Jews to join us in WW2 reenactments, this particular unit is based in the Central Florida area, there are other members in the Arizona area, but do not let that discourage you from forming one abroad. Let us honor the Jews who fought not just the ones who went silently into the night.

	Group G, Belgian Partisans (USA)--Until recently the only living history impressions of partisans seemed to have been relegated to French resistance only. Mostly because of the amount of media attention given to the French underground. There is much more to choose from and Belgium provides a plethora of options to choose from as well as other occupied countries such as Holland, Denmark, Norway, etc... The histories of the many partisan groups which fought in Belgium are available in to some degree or another in local libraries, repositories, and even online on the web.
