2. Kompanie News!
4.1.2021 - Update 29. Kessel von Demjansk
On October 24-25 2020, 2. Kompanie hosted a WWII Campaigner effort in Eureka, Missouri, based around the fighting in the Demjansk Sector in 1942.
"Kessel von Demjansk" was an all out effort by 2. Kompanie to provide a fully immersive experience of life on the line during this chaotic period on the Eastern Front. Over 30 reenactors from all over the United States, and from countless groups came together to join 2. Kompanie in portraying German soldiers of "Kampfgruppe Simon", part of SS-Totenkopf-Infanterie-Regiment 1, SS-Division "Totenkopf".
The event was an immense success, and we would like to thank our Russian opponents in Ishotnik, who provided outstanding impressions of the Soviet troops which were subjecting the SS-Totenkopfdivision to a relentless onslaught.
We look forward to more opportunities to reprise this event in the future!

4.8.2020 - UPDATE 28. COVID-19 AND THE 2020 SEASON

Guten Tag!
So far 2020 has been a bit of a rough year as far as re-enactments are concerned. We had been planning on hosting our first ever WWII Campaigner event this past March, "Kessel von Demjansk", based around the fighting in the Valdai Hills near Demjansk. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the event had to be postponed, and we will be hosting it this October instead. We will have a news release later with more information regarding this event later. Additiionally, the following events we planned on attending were cancelled due to COVID-19: - WWII Days at Jefferson Barracks - WWII Comes Alive at Peoria, IL The loss of these events is regretable, in particular our own event, "Kessel von Demjansk", as our members have spent hundreds of man hours working on a site to make the location an accurate portrayal of the Valdai Hills. |
Due to the loss of events for 2. Kompanie to attend in the first half of the year, we will use the down time to perfect our impressions, work further on our site for Kessel von Demjansk, and last but not least, try to release some new research articles on this website!
We hope you enjoy our research articles, and please stay tuned for new ones coming soon!
Zum Befel,
