Wilkommen Rekrut!  
We are the 3rd Division, 5th Regiment Fallschirmjager, a World War II Re-enacting group located in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. This unit was founded by weapons and history enthusiasts with a vision of a unit who is second to none in tactical proficiency.  There is a very heavy emphasis on historical accuracy and physical fitness within this unit.
   If you are interested, please understand that this is a very expensive hobby. A basic impression (or kit) will cost a new rekrut at least $800 to $1,000 dollars. We are a small unit, and the amount of “loaner” gear available to new rekruts is limited. We will, however, help you in any way possible to save money by directing you to good sources of material, and will provide you with a reasonable amount of time to acquire your gear.
 We will also ask that you sign a waiver for a criminal background check. This is done for several reasons. First, no convicted felon can own a firearm; we use REAL GUNS for these events. Second, we are not racists, nor do we share any racial or ideological beliefs consistent with the Nazi party, and we have no desire to associate with anyone who does.
 We attend between 5-10 events per year, usually a mixture of living history events and invitation only tacticals on the east coast and in the mid west. As we are spread out over most of Kentucky and Indiana, we handle most of our correspondence through the web page or via e-mail.
