Die Gruppe

Group members - 'Alte Kameraden'

'Der Windhund' is currently comprised of members from all walks of life but all of them military enthusiasts, historians and collectors, some with many years experience in 'Living History re-enactment' and not just in WW2!

These are just a selection of the characters that this group portrays!

Wayne / Oberleutnant Wilm Kuschel

Andy / Gefreiter Anton Hansell	Steve / Panzergrenadier Stefan Halle

If one of us should sleep,
Another guards instead of him
If one of us should doubt,
Another faithfully will smile,
If one of us should fall,
Another stands for two,
For every fighter gets from God
His comrades true.

Nachtrichtenhelferinnen

A new addition to our group in 2008 was our own 'Nachrichtenhelferinnen' section.

Sue & Jan - Helferin Katrina Schneider, Vorrhelferin Johanna Voigt

WOMEN AUXILIARIES (Helferinnen). There were several women's auxiliary corps in the German Armed Forces, known as the corps of the headquarters auxiliaries (Stabshelferinnen); signal corps auxiliaries (Nachrichtenhelferinnen) of the Army, Air Force, Waffen-SS, and Navy; and antiaircraft auxiliaries (Flakwaffenhelferinnen) of the Air Force. All wore uniforms and were under military discipline, receiving free rations, quarters, and clothing. However, they were paid according to civil service rates and were not considered members of the Armed Forces. The ranks of their female leaders (Führerinnen) did not correspond to officer ranks in the armed forces.
