A prussian Hussar

This channel is about a reconstruction of a trooper of the 8th Hussars during World War 1. That means we have a look at the evolving from prewar about 1910 up to the end of the war 1918-1920 on several layers.

We will not only reconstruct the uniforms and the equipment step by step and test them but the riding as well. To produce all of the things I will use mostly machines from that period or do it by hand. Besides the explanation and crafting of the equipment we sure will have a look about the history and all kinds of different sources: documents, photographs, movies (yes they were made during the war), diaries, service regulations and so on. Another part will be the history of all kinds of the media which evolved after World War 1 and shapes until today our image of it. And of course comparisons to the other weapon of arms, armies.

So a lot to do, ambition and passion. Let's get it on.
