would my skin color effect my loadout?
 
ok so im a dark skinned kid...and i have a wwII german loadout...so would it look strange to have a dark skinned kid in a german loadout?!?!?!

Historically, yes.
But I don't think too many people will point out that your skin tone isn't correct for you load out...

I wouldn't worry about it... I would care more about your kit and historical accuracy of what you are re-enacting.

I'm native, Portuguese and indian and I play and run my own German squad etc, It doesn't matter. Most people just want more WWII players like myself, welcome

But seriously as long as you are a upstanding guy and your kit matches up with what your doing, your skin does not matter

carllehot May 27th, 2010 23:01

honestly I've see a lot of white skin reenactors playing as Japanese and a lot of white skin playing afghan so Its not bordering me at all ! And I think that's the same opinion for others !

that's not 100% true. Near the end of ww2 when hitler was getting desperate the strict requirments for the ss were dropped. Pretty much anyone with two feet and a heart beat were recruited.

now if memory serves correct there was even a palistinian platoon? Batallion? Dunno what size to use. They were recruited and trained to hunt serbs. I also believe there was a black section in africa of ss.

this is 5am recollection of highschool history. I am sure a ww2 buff will correct me.

there we go. Near the end over 60% of ss was none german ethnic soldiers. So if anyone wants to argue with you just tell them your a late war recruit :p

I remember reading a memoir of a black American serviceman who mentioned something along the lines of having to go to Berlin so he could go to whatever restaurant he wanted to and sit anywhere on the bus...
