Föreningen (FHF) is a Living History or Reenactment association which
was formed in 2008 with the purpose of portraying German infantry
soldiers during the later stages of the war, 1943-1945.
FHF
have a goal to participate in three to four field and training events
as well as public events per year. During field and training events the
emphasis is on the day to day life of a German soldier during the war,
both in front line situations and behind the line. This includes how to
act as a German soldier, tactics, weapon care and use, field works etc.
During
public events we present different types of displays for the public
where we display our material and present ourselves and what we do.
We
also have made friends with many other associations across Europe which
have led to invitations to participate in big events outside of Sweden.
In
reenactment we always try to give an authentic image of what life
during the war would look like and this demands a considerable degree
of knowledge and respect of the hardship and struggle people went
through during the war. With this in mind it is always a balancing act
to portray a German soldier and not to upset people. You have to do it
right and with a great amount of respect and this is very important for
us in FHF. It is a far more serious matter than just play war dressed
in 70 year old uniforms. |
