: Structure :
Our impression is styled after a the 125. Panzer-Aufklarungs-Abteilung of the 25. Panzer Grenadier Division. This unit is repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt during the last three years of World War II.

The 25th can be counted on to deploy two squads at our "maximum effort" events, led by UnterOffizier Jurgen Langermann. At their disposal are various heavy-weapons, including multiple 8cm mortars with simulated pyrotechnics, a MG-34 simulator, and a MG-42 simulator. The 25th has a reputation for being constructive, and has produced multiple extensive dug-outs, emplacements, and fortifications at the Haskell Farm in Rensselaer, IN.

In addition to our combat troops, we also have a developed Feldgendarmerie compliment, consisting of Feldwebel Franz Laak and UnterOffizier Wolfgang Reichberg. They are assisted by various "ersatz-FG", namely OberGefreiter Hermann Van der Waal. The FG-compliment excels at Public Displays, and are typically found at Guard Stations, check points, and acting as crowd control during the display battle itself.

: Location :
The unit is located throughout the Midwest (specifically the Chicago-land area), with members hailing from the following states: Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Our base of operations and training area remains the Haskell Farm in Rensselaer, IN - also the home of the Indiana Historical Reenactment Association [IHRA].
