Every weekend, thousands of hobbyists converge in empty fields
to dig trenches, erect tents, gas up their tanks (seriously), and
stage battles from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of
North Africa. Reenactors participate mainly as British, German,
American, Russian, and Canadian troops. Because the Second
World War is still deeply embedded in Britain's collective
consciousness, the act of reenactment is deeply personal for many
participants -- they feel that they are bridging seven decades of
memory.
