Ich habe in den US Forum ein Thread gestartet, "Too old to Reenact"? und zwei Herren endeckt, PFC Christian Nelson 58 Jahre alt und Harry Rudolf 66 Jahre alt, beide WK1 Veteranen, und sie haben gedient im WK2.
Sgt. Harry Rudolph
THE GROUND ECHELON LEFT FIRST
ONE REALLY WANTED TO GO WITH US EVEN THOUGH UNCLE SAM SAYS NO
AND HE DID TOO:
S/Sgt. Harry Rudolph, 66, was a veteran of three wars (Philippines Insurrection under Gen. MacArthur and in World War I as a bayonet instructor in France). According to the medical officer, "The sergeant is as fit as a man 30 years his junior." Permission was granted to the sergeant's request by Gen. H. Arnold upon the condition he was physically qualified. He passed with room to spare. He was a mess sergeant and when the ground echelon orders to sail were cut, HE WAS ON THE LIST. http://www.315bw.org/331bg.html
Ein Kumpel von mir, Jim, 67-68 Jahre alt, Vietnam Veteran, zieht gerne WK2 US Army klamotten an und springt immer noch aus dem Flugzeug, man sieht ihm oft in Belgium und Frankreich beim "light" reenacting, hut ab!
