The members of the 352nd, like most other historical impressionist
units, are students of history. They are dedicated to portraying
historical lessons of significant time periods. We all know
that the German Army had over 10 million infantry men, but
there are only a handful of units portraying the Wehrmacht
today. This unit has chosen a typical, non-elite, German
infantry
persona of WWII. Our impression is enhanced with the SIG-33
Field Artillery Gun which is fired at events.
