Authenticity Guidelines
Food:
Food should be that of German iron rations & food scrounged from the
local areas. We are in Germany, so acquired "period" civilian
foodstuffs are permitted. Of course all items must be wrapped in
period style and have period labels (nothing modern).
Note: We must supply our
own water for this event. Please fill your canteen & bring an
extra gallon of water.
Appearance:
Hair should resemble a period style cut. Short on sides and sort of long on
top. If you do not hair a proper period hair cut, WE WILL CUT IT FOR
YOU!
For this event, stubble is permitted. Please, no
full beards,
no mustaches, & no side burns. The dirtier your uniform & gear
are, the better!!!
