Welcome to 7./Gren.Rgt.G.D.!
As the leading World War II German Living History Reenactment Unit, “7te. Kompanie/Grenadier Regiment (motorized) Grossdeutschland” researches and presents the common German soldier of World War II as accurately and objectively as possible. We stress “objectively” because we concentrate on the military aspects of the German soldier. As a non-political organization, we DO NOT support or condone the politics which directed him.
In a modern era where much of World War II history is almost all but forgotten, members of Grossdeutschland strive to dispel the common misconceptions that abound concerning the German Army that fought during the 1930s and 40s.
Taking information directly from living German veterans of Grossdeutschland Panzer Division, we reenact the German soldier so others might understand the era in which he fought. United States Military veterans are often amazed at how accurately we portray their former enemy, and they pay honor to our efforts to keep alive the history of this era for all to remember.
Our members come from a variety of backgrounds in both nationality and employment. While some of our members have roots in families which immigrated to the United States from Germany, we have many members who have chosen to join Grossdeutschland because they are simply interested in World War II.
Our membership includes police officers, university instructors, students, businessmen, authors, former military members, and just about any type of person you might imagine who has developed a keen interest in military science. So if you have ever wondered about the lives of typical German soldiers who took part in the Second World War, we encourage you to come out and see a Living History event for yourself.
And if you have a genuine interest in entering this hobby or are a veteran with knowledge to share, we encourage you to contact us. We would love to speak with you!
Kameradschaft
From the Cradle to the Grave
GD-USA has seen it all, and the expression “Kameradschaft” says it well. In 1976 a handful of dedicated reenactors decided they wanted to start reenacting WWII, since almost all of the other time periods were being done and were steadily growing in popularity.
