I learned about this east coast group that reenacts a Sicherung Unit ( festung.net/ ) These units were adhoc equipped reservist/2nd line units. They mention older ages and less ideal fitness levels. Ad-hoc gear, low fitness levels? sounds like an airsoft game! So just an interesting example of turning weaknesses to strengths. I think this kind of connects with an excellent older thread around about small unit operations, and how plenty of realistic actions involved relatively few combatants.

It's sobering to realize that at my present age I probably would have been rejected even by the Volksturm.

Ha! Maybe you could've lied about age?

Im in the same boat at 70 plus and it is sobering and frankly shocking how quickly it seems to have happened!
