Established in 2005 the Northern World War II Association is an organisation that unites a variety of 1940’s living history & re-enactment groups. Each group portrays a different aspect of the second world war and by linking these individual groups into a single association our aim is to try to give visitors a feel for what it was like to live through, one of the largest and bloodiest conflicts in human history. Using authentic living history encampments displaying a mixture genuine and replica equipment, weapons, vehicles, uniforms, and by incorporating firing displays and battle re-enactments we try to inform, educate and help people understand the conflict from the viewpoint of a variety of allied and axis, military and civilian organisations.
Our allied groups include….:
- British 50th Division
- 6th Airborne Division
- Fox Commando
- The Soviet 13 Guards Rifle Division
- The 82nd Airborne (505th PIR),
- 101st Airborne (502nd PIR) & Charlie Company of the 2nd US Rangers
- The Resistance and Special Operations
