Welcome to the 85th Gebirgsjager page.
THE 85th GEBIRGSJAGER ARE A GROUP OF LIKE MINDED REENACTORS WHO LIKE TO PORTRAY A TIME IN HISTORY THAT IS STILL FRESH IN PEOPLES MINDS. WITH THIS IN MIND WE TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO BE ACCURATE AND AUTHENTIC AS POSSIBLE . WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OUR OVERALL NAME TO ENCOMPASS OTHER GROUPS WHO HAVE JOINED WITH US, FROM BOTH THE AXIS AND ALLIED SIDES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A GREAT TESTIMENT TO THE GROUPS PREVIOUS LEADER CHRIS LEWIS,WHO HAS STARTED UP THE ROYAL ENGINEERS IN THE 39-45 SOCIETY.
AS A GROUP WE HAVE A VARIETY OF WEAPONS INCLUDING K98 RIFLES, MG34/42 MACHINE GUNS AND PANZERFAUSTS. WE ALSO HAVE PERSONAL ITEMS PLUS ITEMS THAT ONLY MOUNTAIN TROOPS WOULD HAVE SUCH AS ICE AXES, PITON HAMMERS, CRAMPONS AND MOUNTAIN BOOTS ETC.
IF ANY BODY IS INTERESTED IN JOINING A GROUP THAT IS ALWAYS TRYING TO IMPROVE, PLEASE CONTACT ANDY FRANCIS (GROUP CO) 07962269548
AT SOME EVENTS WERE WE CAN DIVERSIFY, SOME OF US COME ALONG AS HANCHAR, GERMAN VICARS, PRINZ EUGEN, FALLSHIRMJAGER ETC. SO THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN USE THAT SPARE UNIFORM THAT MOST OF US HAVE.
Please see some more photos of the unit on our GALLERY page.
