"By our actions, we serve a great
and just cause: We will remove weapons of mass destruction from the hands of
mass murderers. Free nations will not sit and wait, leaving enemies free to plot
another September the 11th, this time, perhaps with chemical or biological or
nuclear terror. And by defending our own security, we are freeing the people of
Iraq from one of the cruelest regimes on Earth. ... The objectives we've set in
this war are worthy of America, worthy of all the acts of heroism and generosity
that have come before. Once again, we are applying the power of our country to
ensure our security and to serve the cause of justice. ...May God bless our
country and all who defend her. Semper fi." --President George Bush
Please pray for our service men and women serving on the
frontlines. Keep their families in prayer and pray that God will protect
and guide them in these trying times.
What is the World War Two Historical
Preservation Group, Incorporated?
The World War Two Historical Preservation Group
(W2HPG) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to
the study and preservation of the military science of the Second World
War. The W2HPG, Inc. is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S. Treasury
as a tax-exempt educational charity. Our purpose is to promote a better
understanding of the role of the common soldier in the historically significant
events that shaped the world of the 20th Century.
Who is The World War Two Historical
Preservation Group, Incorporated?
The World War Two Historical Preservation Group, Inc.
represents hundreds of individual volunteers in more than a dozen separate reenactment
units portraying distinct military formations of the U.S. Army, the British
Army, the Canadian Army, the Red Army and the German Army.
What do We do?
Through “Living History” displays W2HPG
member units participate in public presentations at air shows, museums,
national parks and military installations. The purpose of these displays
is to educate the general public about the daily routine, living conditions,
equipment and uniforms of the combatants of the Second World War. Participants
in these displays are required to remain in a “First-Person” impression
for the duration of the event, eating, sleeping and socializing within the
confines of the display area where only historically accurate (original or approved reproduction) uniforms and equipment
are allowed. At Living History events, for the educational benefit of the
public, discussions and demonstrations are conducted to encourage questions,
crowd interaction and create photo opportunities.
At battle reenactments, member units practice historically accurate
small unit tactics and endeavor to generally recreate the daily lives
of combat soldiers in the field, circa 1941-45. Through these battle reenactments
the W2HPG preserves the military science and traditions, as they pertain
to the individual soldier, of the major combatants of World War II. At multiple
day battle reenactment, the living conditions, physical hardships, application
of historically accurate tactics, language and equipment, all combine
to create an educational environment that fosters a better understanding,
and appreciation, of the experiences of the soldiers of the Second World
War.
