Our Links
 This page contains links to many good sites that I have found on the 'Net [And of course, a lot are out of date... look for me to try and fix that]. They are also in no particular order. Look for us to have more quality links soon, and if you have a cool link related to WWI or German stuff that you'd like to see here, please contact me at: rudiweiss@ir23.org
. I hope you will explore these sites and find them as interesting as I have--Marsh Wise

WWI Reenacting:I

Great War Association -- Based at the Caesar Krauss Great War Memorial Site in Newville, Pennsylvania, the GWA is the East Coast's umbrella organization for Great War reenacting. The GWA hosts two (possibly going to three) annual combat reenactment weekends each year. The GWA actually owns its own battle site. This site is designed complete with trenches, underground bunkers, shell holes and machine gun nests.
The GWA has many different units from all sides. There are numerous Allied units: American, British and French along with their allies such as the Russians and Commonwealth Troops. The Central Powers consist of a number of German units and one Austrio-Hungarian unit.
And try this new GWA site at: www.great-war.org --something different, something the same. Maybe better... you judge.

Great War Historical Society (Western and California USA) -- The West Coast Great War organization --Sphere of operations: WW1 on the Western Front, 1914-1918. These guys hold events similar to the GWA's. The GWHS holds two events a year also, set up so as NOT to conflict with the GWA's events. Dues are $20 a year. Flash: it appears they have a new battlefield!!! :-) |

The Saint Louis Escadrille--These are the guys who build and fly their replica World War I planes in all those great air shows. If you want to relive the Great War, but don't want to be stuck underground with us grunts, check these guys out. |

Brandenburg Historica: Their specialty is reference books and historical music for the reenactor. Without a doubt, if you're interested in the history of the time, Brandenburg is the place for you. I can personally attest to the quality of their stuff, having bought quite a few of their albums.

Airdrome Aeroplanes--Okay, this in not really a reenacting organization. Rather, it's a place you can buy kits to build your very own 3/4 scale World War I fighter plane. Still pretty cool!
