Who We Are

 

The Frontline Association is a group of World War 2 re-enactors based mainly in the Yorkshire area, but with members from as far afield as London and Aberdeen.  We attend events throughout the north, Midlands and occasionally venturing into the south. The group has been in existence in its present form since 1999. 

We have traditionally portrayed German forces: our main unit being the Hauptquartier 2nd Battalion Fallschirmjäger Regiment 9 (3FJD).  This was in addition to portraying homefront civilians, civilian police, Home Guard and ARP.  However, in 2003 we decided to add two British units: the 51st Highland Division including the 7th Battalion Blackwatch; and support troops from the Middlesex Regiment (specialising in heavy machine guns, anti-tank weapons and mortars). 

 

We attend public shows and private battle events, either on our own or with other groups.  In November 2003 we joined the umbrella organisation "The World War II Experience", through which we can offer a larger package of spectacular historic recreations including battles, weapons and uniform displays, and 1940's fashion show.  Being part of this larger organisation also offers our members a wider choice when it comes to deciding what to re-enact as.
