Groups like this should NOT be giving talks in history. Far to many things wrong with the impressions, if they want to dress up and play soldiers, fine. Just don't pretend you are accurate and share information.

Modern glass / white t-shirts / M43s and M42s / post war bandoliers (stamped) / wearing M42s with cartridge belts / no battalion unit markings on M42s shoulders of round neck / NO CC2 / no helmet nets with scrim / lack of wool shirts / guys not knowing how to even function the weapons being used/displayed / late war sights on the M1A1 carbine / "maybe officers [got the M1A1] TO&E specified that officers got this, not maybe" / Thompsons removed from TO&E from Aug 1943 replaced with M1 Garand (assuming they are a rifle company) / 1903 Springfield as far as I know only carried by Glider troops / lets not ever mention the shotgun! / MP40 was nick-named after the designer of the MP18 'Hugo Schmeisser' please stop talking nonsense...
