About us

 

 

The CHG, founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1992, is a non-profit organization that is recognized by the Department of Defense as a World War Two educational and reenactment organization.

The CHG’s 12th SS is a non-political unit whose sole purpose is to preserve World War Two history through uniform, equipment and vehicle restorations, static displays, and historical reenactments. We also do so by researching and understanding the mindset of the indoctrinated youth that made up the majority of the Division. By understanding where they came from, how they were raised, what they were taught, how they were trained, and how they fought, gives us insight into what the Enemy’s side was like while giving us the ability to take lessons from the past to apply to the present.

We usually meet once a month to accomplish this purpose. Our membership consists of military historians, collectors, students, businessmen, vehicle enthusiasts, and many others who share an interest in World War Two. Preserving and accurately recreating history is a common goal.

We are always looking for new recruits. Uniforms and gear are available on a loaner basis. Please take the time to visit our entire website. If you have any questions please feel free to email us or fill out the contact form. Bis nach front!
