KSK are one of the most well known groups in the UK re-enactment scene.
We portray elements of the elite Leibstandarte Division of the Waffen SS.
Our main portrayal is that of the Panzer Grenadiers of the 6th Kompanie - Battle hardened and experienced in the art of warfare.
Other elements include a Feldgendarmerie (Field police), Sani (Medical) unit, Quartermasters (Stores) and a Stabs (Command) section.
We also have access to authentic vehicles of the period 1939 - 1945 which include motorcycle combinations and a captured "Willys" Jeep.
We often work closely with other groups, both Axis and Allied at public shows and private battles. This has included photo shoots and filming for the Russian press alongside the 2nd Guard division.
Our members share a wide knowledge base of the WW II period with the emphasis on the Axis forces uniform, weapons and training.
We believe in being as accurate as we can in order to teach the public as to how the "Landser" lived during world war 2 whilst maintaining an element of fun and Kameraderie. Additionally we often raise funds for causes such as Help for heroes and the British legion.
Comments from D-Day veterans on our display have included: "This looks like the real thing" and "This is how I remember it".
