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. Members come from all walks of life, ranging from active duty & retired Military personnel, Law Enforcement , Doctors, Lawyers, Artists, Students, and business executives...all with a passion for World War II history and a common goal of preserving our nation's part in that war and honoring our WWII Veterans, which we are loosing at a staggering rate of 1,000 a day. With this in mind we are basically on a race against time to find and record these mens stories. 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. Finally, 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.
