Who We Are

We are a dedicated living history group portraying the Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung of the 2nd Panzer Division– the swift, daring reconnaissance troops who served as the "eyes and ears" of one of Germany's most famous armored formations during World War II.

We are based in the Southern/Midlands area of the UK with a hub of members from the South East, but we do have members as far away as the North East and East Anglia.

Our displays feature authentic (or accurately reproduced) vehicles. Behind the thrilling tactical demonstrations and public events lies a dedicated team of vehicle owners, mechanics, logisticians, and support staff who make it all possible. Whether you own a running WW2-era vehicle or want to contribute in a non-combat role, we need you to keep our impression authentic and operational.

From public displays and filmwork across the UK, we keep the legacy of these elite scouts rolling.

What we offer?

• Be part of a respected, authenticity-focused group dating back to 2008.

• Uk - based public WW2 events.
• Access to our German vehicles.
• Opportunities to become involved in filming/media projects.

• Access to shared knowledge, workshops, and a supportive community.

What We Look For?

• Enthusiasm for WW2 history, especially armoured warfare and reconnaissance.
• Commitment to safety, authenticity, and respectful portrayal.
• Ages 18+ (under 18s considered with parental involvement for non-combat roles).
• No prior experience necessary – we provide training and guidance.
