U 505 Re-enactors
« on: 18 Feb , 2014, 00:35 »
Doing some minor research, stumbled on this site. I say good on 'em. Re-enacting is a fun way to keep history alive (I'm biased, I used to work for a living history museum.)

Hi Rokket
 
According to their website it doesn't appear that they've done much in the last 5 years
 
Regards Jon

I didn't have much time to stay on the site, but since they are heavy into U 05, I'm thinking close to Chicago USA. No, they haven't done much, but I see all kinds of obstacles. I hope they do well.

I have contacted these guys about a year or so ago. They are no longer active. too bad. It is douptful if the Museum would allow them to go topside on U-505 now since it is a Historical Monument.  Nice idea though. I have some of my Fathers uniform s and his set of U-Boat leathers he had on at surrender of U-805.  No, they are not for sale!!!!
Regars,
Dan

Too bad. It seems that so many cool things are crushed or fade because of Mundanes.

Great you have that stuff Dan. I hope you take some pictures for safety, and keep them well stored. Nice stuff to have.

Hi Again!
I have all of it in acid free storage boxes.  If you want to see a pic of the leathers I will post it. This shot is of some of the crew of U-805 after their surrender. My father is the one on the far left with the blond hair.
Regards,
Dan
