At the #playingwar24 conference I argued that many reenactors are consciously aware of the need to balance accuracy (reproduction of original detail) and authenticity (the "ambience", or effect this has on audiences). Bodily anachronism is a key part of this even for those of "correct" colour/gender
Is this keeping (a) history or (b) the past alive?

And just before I say auf wiedersen to Bavaria (since I'm in the airport and it'd be rude not to) I thought I'd end my coverage of #playingwar24 with yours truly!
Genuinely such an incredible experience: met some amazing scholars, drank some amazing beer, and failed amazingly at speaking german
