Once again another FIG has come and gone, and we are left in the
aftermath of a week of good times, and Komradschaft. When some of us
couldn't make it for one reason or another we had all of our members in our
thoughts, and prayers. This year some new things were seen such as The
Memorial Ceramony for the German War Dead, and Missing. To the best of our
knowledge we are the first units to do this cermony in this country, and for
that all of us should be very proud in what we accomplished! Just like the
men we protray we are keeping the standard of what it means to be men of Die
Liedstandarte. I can not stress how improtant this is, since these men have
us to reply on to keep their memory alive.
As with the new things the old ones were ever present and quite
enjoyful. Seeing of old friends from parts far from our own were with us,
and their time with us makes it all the more special. Our honored advisor
was there once again and his cherrfulness, and knowledge make our Kaserne
all the more unique. For this I need to say Vielen Danke to Gerd, and we
look forward to seeing him once again next year. On a more somber note one
of our Komrads plans to take some time off, and enjoy his time with loved
ones. While he may not be in the field of every tactical in person his
guidance, and wisdom will be and for that this unit and KG Sonnenwende will
have a strong presence for a very long time to come. Sepp enjoy your well
deserved time off, and please come back soon.

For those of you that went to this past weekend's Caen event I
am sure you are still recovering from that incredible event! I would like to
thank the members of Erste Zug for throwing this event, and in my ten years
of reenacting I can honestly say that this event was the most changeling
event I ever went to. All of us have our own personal favorite memories of
this event, but rest assured we will be back, since I have recieved offical
word that our unit is invited to all future events at this site! Our unit
was praised on it's tactics, and aggression by the event hosts, and I must
compliment all of you on the job you that you did at this event. By bbeing
invited to these total emersion events will give you the feeling of what it
was really like back then to a small degree, and makes our life in the real
world all the more sweeter. We will be participating in one more event
before the holiday season, and then it will be the week long event at F.I.G.

I would like to thank all of you that attended our annual training
event. For those that couldn't make it we have a new announcement / surprise !
We have a new permanent training facility with many features. They are:
- Over 100 acres to practice maneuvers or set up a small tactical
- An extensive firing range which can handle any type of small caliber weapon (including MGs)
- A period block house where we can have classes, sleep in, and hold
meeting ( just like a clubhouse)......
- The area has running water, and port a johns there on a permanent basis
This training area is open for use for all members of our unit, and
KG Sonnenwende. It is our intention to hold annual training events ( 1-2
times a year) at this facility. The property owner has embraced us and is
looking forward to seeing us back soon. A big round of thanks needs to go
out to Matt N. and Todd B. for setting this up for us.
At this past training event we cover many important things , and we
wound up learning just as much as we had fun. The courses we went over were:
- Impression authenticity
- Correct German phrases, and terms for individual impressions
- Effective combat tactics ( Historical , and improvised
reenacting tactics)
- Hand signals, and Whistle commands
- Weapons familiarization classes on numerous weapons
In between all the classes, and handouts to learn we managed to have
tons of fun, and this was never more obvious than on the gun range. The
highlight of the range was seeing KG members aiming at some "fun targets", (
another big thanks to member Kyle O) and enjoying each other company. The KG
meal was a big success, and a night of Komradschaft and laughter was enjoyed
by all. I want to thank you our KG Brüders for making to this special event.
At this event we we had a unit meeting and we discussed such topics as
future events, and how we as a unit can improve, and try to be the best
possible unit we can be. I think we are taking big step in the right
direction. Our next event will be Odessa, and this event will be a "hard
Core" event, so please check your emails for the information upcoming about
this event.

I would like to congratulate all of you on your fine performance at the
Reading Air Show. While the heat, and rain were once again a difficult foes
we all made the best of it, and showed everyone that came to the show what
it means to be a quality German reenacting unit! Our hats need to go off to
Ron R. and Chris G. for bringing the horses, and showing a very unique
aspect of the hobby which is so often overlooked. With this aspect was
débuted no one can over look our other fine attributes and for that we all
deserve a round of applause. While there is always room for improvement we
have made progress from last year and for that I thank you.
I would also like to take this time to officially welcome our newest

In some sobering news we will be missing some of our soldaten since they
will be deployed soon to an area were they will be in constant danger since
they are part of our military. I want to thank them personally for serving
our great country, and protecting our freedoms. Remember while you may be
away from our unit you are not forgotten and please keep in touch since we
will be keeping an eye on you as much as possible.
Our upcoming Unit / KG training event looks to be growing and
improving over last year. This year we will be incorporating more classes on
a varying degree of subjects, and the standard live fire shoot. We also plan
to have this as a camp out event, and to promote Komradschaft we plan on
have some period meals and entertainment. This training event will be a
starting point for this upcoming year since we have once again been invited
to some pretty exclusive and hard events. We need to be prepared for this
year since it will definitely separate the wheat from the chaff. Until this
training event take this time off to enjoy yourself, your family, and relax
in the down time, since we will soon be An Der Front!

Our first unit communication
Kameraden!
We all know there has to be a beginning. Let's start with life
itself. We always try to make the best of it, but there is always something,
or someone screwing it up for us, we call it war. We do reenact war, and I
am so proud to have meet you men that protray the German Soldat, men that
recognize good from evil.
I remember the first time I meet all of you. A Frundsberg
unit and a Hohenstaufen unit, as well as others. I was pleased to see that,
and that you emerged later into the II. SS Panzer Korps which it was in
1944. Unfortunatley, the II. SS Panzer Korps didn't last too long. Well in
WW II it only lasted from Jan.1943 to May 1945, for different reasons, but
they made their mark in History. Things do happen for the better? We know
the Frundsberg unit on the East Coast divided, and so did the II. SS Panzer
Korps.
Gerd found refuge with the then 12th.SS Hitlerjunged
Aufkl - Abt.12
SS-Unterscharfuhrer Richard Heßler did likewise, and emerged as
a good organizer and leader by the now 1.L.SS.A.H 11.Kp III (gep.) PG Regt.2
unit. By now I believe you are a unit of about 18 soldaten, and if my spies
report correctly are associated member of KG Sonnenwende. Perhaps by now you
are full pleged members of Sonnewende.
We may be seperated by about 2000 miles, but my thoughts are with
all of you on the East Coast, and I wished I was closer. With your good will
and determination I know you will be an asset to Kampfgrüppe Sonnewende, an
elite force in it's own right. I SALUTE YOU !
Back to the beginning. Your unit I believe, has outgrown the
infant shoes, and is now running and making giant steps. This is a
unsoilicited message for your units first dispatch.
Well Done and Good Luck.

Our first unit communication
Kameraden!
We all know there has to be a beginning. Let's start with life
itself. We always try to make the best of it, but there is always something,
or someone screwing it up for us, we call it war. We do reenact war, and I
am so proud to have meet you men that protray the German Soldat, men that
recognize good from evil.
I remember the first time I meet all of you. A Frundsberg
unit and a Hohenstaufen unit, as well as others. I was pleased to see that,
and that you emerged later into the II. SS Panzer Korps which it was in
1944. Unfortunatley, the II. SS Panzer Korps didn't last too long. Well in
WW II it only lasted from Jan.1943 to May 1945, for different reasons, but
they made their mark in History. Things do happen for the better? We know
the Frundsberg unit on the East Coast divided, and so did the II. SS Panzer
Korps.
Gerd found refuge with the then 12th.SS Hitlerjunged
Aufkl - Abt.12
SS-Unterscharfuhrer Richard Heßler did likewise, and emerged as
a good organizer and leader by the now 1.L.SS.A.H 11.Kp III (gep.) PG Regt.2
unit. By now I believe you are a unit of about 18 soldaten, and if my spies
report correctly are associated member of KG Sonnenwende. Perhaps by now you
are full pleged members of Sonnewende.
We may be seperated by about 2000 miles, but my thoughts are with
all of you on the East Coast, and I wished I was closer. With your good will
and determination I know you will be an asset to Kampfgrüppe Sonnewende, an
elite force in it's own right. I SALUTE YOU !
Back to the beginning. Your unit I believe, has outgrown the
infant shoes, and is now running and making giant steps. This is a
unsoilicited message for your units first dispatch.
Well Done and Good Luck.

Vom der Zugfuhrer
Begrüßung Kameraden
Well It is almost one year since the formation of our unit and I
would like to congratulate you all on the effort, and your desire to make
this unit happen. While we had some trials by fire early on we managed to
come through them, and advance onto our next objectives and we did this in
truest sense of esprit de corps. Our unit is growing and will continue to
grow as long as we are true to our unit and ourseleves, and keep the
traditions of Die Leibstandarte alive!
This year has been special to me since I have seen this unit
invited to some very elite Living Hisotry Events, and Tacticals. For a new
unit to be allowed to attend these events shows how much we have progressed
in a short time, and how effective we are in battle! Just as the Original
bodyguards we are shedding the nicknames of "Asphalt Soldiers" and proving
how good we really are! The latest event was the Newville, Pa event and to
participate in such a difficult event among such fine German units was
indeed an honor! Our participation with KG Sonnenwende at this event made
the reality of combined specialized units happen, and for this I am grateful
to our brueder! We will be attending the Federation F.I.G event shortly
and we will be part of another Hollowed Tradition... The Grosser
Zapfenstreich. Being a part of this is truly another honor not only for our
unit but for each one individually. By taking part of this you keep the
memory, and honor of the Veterans of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS alive!
As for the future this unit it can only go as high as we want it to
and as long as we hold to honor of the men we portray, and remember the
motto Meine Ehre Heißt Treue we will not falter.

This event is SIX ( 6 ) days long and offers some of the best Vendors in the hobby ( Nationally and International).... The battle last year improved dramatically well and it should be expected to be as good as it was last year! Our unit will be making its debut in the Grosser Zaphfenstreich, and this spectacle is something not to be miss and it is a great honor to be in this unique experience. One of our unit's founders was in last year's Zaphfenstreich and here is a link to picture from the event:
