Why don’t people do WWII or WWI reenactments like they do with the Civil War and the Revolutionary war?

They do. There are MANY groups and organizations, not only in the United States (and North America), but also in Europe — places like England, The Czech Republic, Poland and Russia. WWII is not really done in Germany or France…

For some information on WWII reenacting, try going to reenactor.Net’s WWII main page!

In Ottawa, Canada, there is a group of about platoon size that recreates WWII. They are incredibly detailed, and practice Infantry tactics, with real weapons (using blanks), including a Bren Gun (Universal) Carrier, Sten guns, and so on. They do a great job.
