The Russians do it too. Reenactments [USA] call reconstructions in Russia. Apparently quite popular. See links of Russian reconstructions all quite well done. Thanks to the Internet web site English/Russia.

In some quarters these reenactments [or reconstructions whatever you prefer] controversial? Seems so. Especially those reenactments where participants dress in the uniform of German troops from the era of WW2, especially those of the Waffen SS.

Controversial or harmless fun? Devoted readers to the blog let me hear your thoughts on the matter.
