On Saturday, February 22, the World War 2 Guys were back in action for our 2025 Winter Tactical. The boys from H Company 507th Parachute Infantry tussled with some battle-hardened Germans from the 272nd Volksgenadier Division. The early morning was especially cold so knit caps, gloves, and plenty of layers were essential items. We set out with three planned scenarios with each side being in both offensive and defensive situations. After our second scenario the entire group ate some hot rations together thanks to Sergeant Green and his foxhole cooking. Spirits were high throughout the day and we really enjoyed getting a chance to do a proper winter battle. The following day, temperatures were up into the 60s, so we definitely capitalized on the last cold, snowy day.

On Saturday, February 1, the World War 2 Guys visited the Durham Museum for a group meeting and a chance to dress up in some "classy" Class A uniforms. In attendance were Joe representing the 87th Infantry of the 10th Mountain Division, Cody representing the 349th Infantry "Kraut Killers" of the 88th Division, Matt representing our own 507th PIR while stationed in Nebraska, Rhys representing the 101st Airborne Division, and Eric representing the 164th Infantry of the American Division that served on Guadalcanal. We had a fun unit meeting on one of the train cars nicknamed "The Cornhusker Club" and had a great conversation with one of the museum volunteers and historians named Raleigh. Unfortunately, our visit was a short one, but we will hopefully add this as a regular unit event in the years to come. |
