I'd have to agree with my captain.
Some folks are fine with a uniform and a weapon.
Personally, even if my uniform is not 'complete'... per say.. I'm more interested in the people fighting the war, not the war itself. I've said it before... I re-enact the life, not the fight. Fighting was a PART of WWII... albeit a major part...
You don't need EVERYTHING right off the bat. A lot of times, gear would be lost or unaccounted for. Remember that.
Try to put yourself in the mindset of the WWII soldier... what would you carry DAILY?
