Guidelines

Food:
Food should be that of German iron rations & food scrounged from the local areas. We are in Holland, so acquired "period" civilian foodstuffs are permitted.  Of course all items must be wrapped in period style and have period labels (nothing modern).

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!  

You should be clean shaven for this one.  Please, no full beards, no mustaches, & no side burns.

The Uniform:

1. Helmet -
M42 helmets are preferred, but earlier models are acceptable.  The less decals on the helmets the better (please no double decals) & no camo helmets.
 
2. Cap - 
Heer M38, M42, or M43 caps in feldgrau.
 
3. Tunic -
M43, & 42 tunics are preferred but M40 & M36 tunics are acceptable.
