Things to do when you're Retired ...

Being retired gives me time to seek out and find interesting stuff on the internet. Then spend hours watching things like the offerings from the German YouTube channel PARALIGHTWORX.

I've watched a number of their World War II short films, which are generally very well done using accurate equipment and uniforms. Hollywood should hire these guys! Here's an example of one of their WWII films - 

(Note, turn on CC for subtitles in English.)

It's not just WWII, here's an excellent vignette for a small party of Romans cut off somewhere in the Teutoburger forest¹ -

(Warning, this one is rather bloody.)

If you want more, you should visit their channel's home page here.

They've even done some Napoleonic stuff, I'm just starting to scratch the surface here. If you have an interest in military history, you should check them out.

As I find things like this, I'll share. For now, enjoy!

¹ The Teutoburger forest was the scene of a battle in 9 AD where Germanic tribes under the leadership of Arminius (known as Hermann in German) destroyed three Roman legions. And by destroyed I mean not one Roman survived. Yes, the battle is a big deal in German history.
