<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="127">2:07</a> Those dog tags are 100% not the ones used during the second world war. It's been some time since this video was uploaded so I hope you know this now, but the WW2 identity plates had such a distinctive notch found on the curved part of the tag. This was used so that they would align properly in an embossing machine that printed the information from the tag onto medical records. Another thing is that all of the information on your dog tags are incorrect. For an early war dog tag the order should be; FIRST ROW: First Name, Middle initial, Last name. SECOND ROW: Army serial number, tetanus shot dates, blood type. THIRD ROW: Next of kin. FOURTH ROW: Address. FIFTH ROW: City, state, religion. Later through the war the dog tags were simplified usually removing the address, city, state, and the next of kin and usually the middle initial would be after the last name.

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a>~They STILL wore the wool lined M41 jacket on D-Day. Check the pics out. Some units even wore the jacket inside out as it was very tan and didn't blend with some of the foliage.

It's so hard to figure out what is needed to wear an accurate uniform. You have the best videos that we have found. If you want to see some of the WW2 trenches near where we live we have a video that you might enjoy. It's the one that says "nearly forgotten battles."

Ok the service boot actually was worn in combat. When the us entered the war that was the armys standard boot. But there is footage and pictures of guys wearing them all the way to the end of the war.

Why does your 26th ID patch look like it has a marrowed rather than cut edge, as seen in WW2?

“Summer M1941 jackets” never actually existed. M41 jackets only were ever made with wool liners. The reason ATF offers a summer version is due to too many people complaining that the standard ones are too warm for general use in the states.

The coat is not actually a trench coat. Its a greatcoat/overcoat. A coat meant to be warm and can be warn over all of your gear. Trench coats can be overcoats but are relatively water resistant like the rain jacket

@@reenactmentdays5891 I have gotten an m43 from ATF that was advertised as having oil stains and had a reduced price but when I received it, the whole jacket was almost red. They had some good products but I regularly go for WPG. For the buttons you can look at it as a learning thing on how they would have resewn their buttons on. It will also make the clothes you tend to seem more legit to you and hold that much more value. That's at least how I treat it.
