Living History - World war one WWI

- Life in the trenches

- History told in a live and realistic way

The picture was taken during filming of Petter Schjervens TV programme "Helter" in the series "Tingenes Tilstand".

 

We are two who are very interested in History, and especially the History of WWI. Life in the trenches was terrible and scarred the participants deeply.

After years of research and collecting we have a unique material that we like to show dressed in correct gear and uniforms of the period.

We will perform for schools, organizations and others who want a different and interesting way to have history presented. We are in Oslo and mobile in the region around Oslo.

Here we will list the gear we use and a descrition of our collections. This site will increase all the time.

We offer:

- First person lectures about WWI

- First hand accounts and broader history

- A mobile exhibition including battlefield finds

- A striking visual experience with uniforms ands gear of the period.
