Listing of Luftwaffe Renacting Units
Welcome to the Luftwaffe units page! Yep, we reenact the Luftwaffe too! Mostly Fallschirmjägers (Paras) but also ground troops and even Luftwaffe support troops too.The German Air Force, led by Hermann Göring, contributed many units of ground forces to the war in Russia as well as the Normandy front. In 1940, the Fallschirmjäger paratroops conquered the Belgian Fort Eben-Emael and took part in the airborne invasion of Norway, but after suffering heavy losses in the Battle of Crete, large scale airdrops were discontinued. Operating as ordinary infantry, the 1st Fallschirmjäger Division took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino. The Luftwaffe Field Divisions were eventually considered by historians to be a drain on manpower and resources that would have been better used in Army formations, and are used as an example of how poorly co-ordinated the three branches of the Wehrmacht were. This was partly due to the rivalry between the branches in general, but mainly due to Göring's ambitions. The Luftwaffe, being in charge of Germany's Anti-aircraft warfare, also used thousands of teenage Luftwaffenhelfer to support the Flak units.

| 15th Kompanie / Fallschirmjäger Regiment 5 (USA California) -- Our Living History Group honors the military service and sacrifices of all World War II Veterans.

38. Jäger Regiment, 17. Luftwaffe Feld-Division (USA, TX) -- World War 2 German reenactment unit dedicated to the re-creation of the 33rd Jager Regiment of the 17th Field Division (Luftwaffe)in Texas and surrounding areas (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana). The emphasis of this group will be authenticity and flexibility of impressions to match tactical and public battle themes. The goals of the group are:
The group has no dues but membership in the Texas Military Historical Society is REQUIRED (and will be checked). Requests for membership from outside of this general area will generally be declined as we are looking for active participants (vendors are a possible exception). This group does not in any way support any neo-Nazi or related political agendas. Extremists in any form are NOT welcome! One of the biggest benefits of this impression is the ability to use nearly any combination of gear that was used by both the Heer and the Luftwaffe. Mixing and matching is the rule rather than the exception. It is very easy to add a second impression by adding very little additional gear - sometimes as little as a belt buckle! |

18. Feld Division “Goring’s Grenadiers” (USA, Southeast) -- It is our intention to portray one of the fragments of the destroyed 18.Feld Division (Lw) after its brief, but brutal, encounter with the overwhelming allied forces deployed in France in 1944. We do not represent a division, battalion, regiment or company. We represent a few German soldiers trying to escape capture or death and return to their homeland to fight another day. We continue the brave fight. We lose some along the way to the continued pressure of the ever-advancing allies and their partisan compatriots. We portray the tired, battle-worn soldier thrown back into the conflict in a last gasp hope of delaying the inevitable. Finally, we represent the desperation of what was the once mighty Wehrmacht after having fought the good fight. |
