About the WWII Research and Preservation Society (RPS)
The World War II Research and Preservation Society (WWII RPS) is a California non-profit
corporation that has been active in historical research and Living History Reenacting for over
a decade. In tribute to our WWII Veterans we depict them as accurately as possible,
this includes U.S. and Allied soldiers from that era, but also their enemy counterparts.
We are comprised of member "Units" that are based on actual World War II units. Extensive
historical research goes into the study of these units, tremendous amount of effort and
resources go into building an individual soldier's "impression". The construction of one's
impression can be a very fun and rewarding process and can literally take years to perfect.
A Board of Directors with a goal to make this hobby as realistic, informative, and as fun
as possible, governs the WWII RPS. We abide by a strict Code of Conduct and strive to set
new standards within the Reenacting community.
RPS Code of Conduct (doc)
The WWII RPS takes great pride in our heritage as Americans and we abide by all
laws, including those of decency and human conduct. In order to accurately portray the
tactical experience of the combat soldier of World War II,we also must portray combatants
from all sides. However, we steadfastly refute any notions of association with any Socialist
or Communist organizations and we reserve the right to refuse membership to anyone with such
associations or anyone with any extreme political views.
