Legal information
Behaviour, uniforms and the law
Everything is allowed in theory. There are no bans on any uniforms or insignia.
Firearms laws
Firearm laws in Denmark are very strict. Deactivated firearms are very difficult to license. Live firearms are not to be used for blank firing. Automatics, semi-automatics and handguns are banned. Purpose-built blank firers are used, but the law is a grey area. Currently, deactivated firearms and airguns are used to "dry-train". It would be possible on suitable land, but it is difficult to get hold of and looks unlikely to improve in the future.For these reasons, many Danish reenactors go to foreign countries for reenactment.
Road rules
If you plan to travel to Denmark in a 1940's vehicle, make sure your model has been type approved by the Danish authorities. If not, they will have to be tested, which will cost you money and time.Tracks are not allowed on the roads.
As always, when you're in a foreign country for a reenactment, listen to the natives and follow their advice. Do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself and follow common sense.
