The Eastern Front was a massive part of the Second World War and is still vastly underrepresented in the United States. Our goal is to accurately portray this part of history and educate those who have not had the change to learn much about the Soviet involvement in World War II as well as Eastern European history.
We want to provide a framework for Soviet Reenacting to advance as a hobby and have a nationwide group of like minded units that come together for events. We strive to be as authentic as possible and want to bring that mentality to every event we attend .
