Welcome to the 2nd Platoon, Co. A, 33rd Signal
Construction Battalion WW2 Reenactors Website. We are a group of
like-minded individuals based in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, Delaware, and New York areas who come together to recreate
the life and times of soldiers belonging to the 33rd Signal
Construction Battalion during one of the worst conflicts known to
man. We do this by using the uniforms, equipment and tactics of the
American Signal Corps soldier during the Second World War.
As member of the 33rd Signal Construction Battalion
Reenactors you will lay and recover communication wire, climb poles,
use WWII period communication equipment, and authentically perform
the duties of the American soldier of WWII (not to mention fight off
the Nazi Horde). Everything we do in the 33rd is authentic to the
period, from the clothes we wear to the gear we use. We do this in
order to keep history alive and to keep the memories of the brave
men who fought during World War II going.
The soldiers of the 33rd Signal Construction Battalion were
not front line troops, they saw a fair amount of action but for the
most part they were a work outfit that supported General Patton's
Third Army. They did not get the glory that the Infantry, Airborne,
or the Rangers received, but without the never ending support of the
combat lineman, those units that made up the tip of the javelin
would have been broken off and destroyed.
