The 914th needs you! We are allways looking for new and experienced paintballers to join the ranks of the fierce 914th, The Dogs Of WAR, join us as we fight the french for control of the Valley of Death, and the town of Vierville!! Come join us at OK D-Day june 8th-14th 2009.
The Battle at Vierville is the pinnacle of urban fighting at D-Day. Dozens of buildings, many of them multi-storied, fill the floor of a sweeping woodland valley, which is crossed here and there by the channel of rocky stream.
Every second of your fight in Vierville will be door-to-door, house-to-house, with the menacing speceter of heavily bunkered valley walls looming over any would-be attackers. Vierville is a defenders dream, a place that the Allies will be forced to face every man in street-to-street fighting, while your positions on the valley walls lay fire down on the approaches of your enemies.
Dense forest growth, the most rugged terrain, and tightly packed streets lend themselves to some of the most intense engagements of the entire game.
Defend Vierville and La Fiere Bridge from the Allied horde to break your enemy's ability to pincer the entire northern end of the field from the valley.
Ten Commandments of the German Soldier
1. You are the chosen ones of the German Army. You will seek combat and train yourselves to endure any manner of test. To you the battle shall be fulfillment.
2. Cultivate true comradeship, for by the aid of your comrades you will conquer or die.
3. Beware of talking. Be not corruptible. Men act while women chatter. Chatter may bring you to the grave.
4. Be calm and prudent, strong and resolute. Valor and enthusiasm of an offensive spirit will cause you to prevail in the attack.
5. The most precious thing in the presence of the foe is ammunition. He who shoots uselessly, merely to comfort himself, is a man of straw who merits not the title of soldier.
6. Never surrender. To you death or victory must be a point of honor.
7. You can triumph only if your weapons are good. See to it that you submit yourself to this law--first my weapon and then myself.
8. You must grasp the full purpose of every enterprise, so that if your leader be killed you can fulfill it.
9. Against an open foe fight with chivalry, but to a guerrilla extend no quarter.
10. Keep your eyes wide open. Tune yourself to the topmost pitch. Be nimble as a greyhound, as tough as leather, as hard as Krupp steel, and so you shall be the German warrior incarnate.
The German Army of WWII was one of the toughest, best trained, and undoubtedly finest armies the world has ever seen.
As a fighting force, they were virtually without equal, using inventive and ingenious tactics and commanded by some of the finest field commanders that ever took to the battlefield.
Their arms and equipment were the finest in the world. The German war machine was the most technologically advanced juggernaut in the history of warfare to that date.
Their soldiers were dedicated, professional, tenacious, devoted, and above all - tough, loyal, daring, and brave.
Playing on the German side at Oklahoma D-Day has nothing whatsoever to do with the misguided political and ideological beliefs of the leaders of Germany's past.
The German side is a representation and remembrance of the well-trained, hard fighting, tough brave young men that fought for their homeland as honored soldiers, and they are remembered here not for the political ideologies of their leaders, but for their bravery and sacrifices suffered in service to their homeland.
The average German soldier fought for the love of his country, and came to serve when his nation called, just as the brave young men that served the Allied cause did.
For that reason, the memory of the German soldier is honored and remembered at Oklahoma D-Day with the reverence and respect that all honarable veterans deserve.
