Have you ever seen WWII document reproductions that just don’t look quite right? The wrong paper size, too smooth, too white… These details can make or break the authenticity of a historical prop.

In our latest blog post, we dive into the paper types, sizes, and printing techniques used in the 1930s-40s by British, American, and German militaries. Learn how to choose the right materials, age your paper realistically, and avoid common mistakes when recreating historical documents!

As a creator of paper film props and re-enactment documents, I often come across repros on the internet that are made with the wrong size paper or incorrect materials. Many WWII documents are printed on standard A4 paper, even though this was not a common format at the time. The type of paper used a...

For those who are interested for what kind of film production I make various props, here a teaser ...

In the spirit of daring to ask, here's the following. The person who wrote the script for the film talks about German soldiers taking the soldier's oath, which is on paper. He then writes that an officer signs the certificates for that oath (or declaration of honor). That has to be shown. I have to make those certificates or declarations, which are then signed. My question now is who can help me with this. Were there indeed certificates with the Oath that were signed or was that another document? And if so, what did that look like? Are there any examples of this?

Today was another productive day. File folders made for both the German and the allied side and forms that still need to be filled in. What still needs to be done are reports on the battle for the Scheldt, and a weather report for Operation Infatuate I and II. A loss report from the Canadian army at the Sloedam. Then letters from Montgomery to Eisenhower and vice versa. A German marching order (I still need to research what that looked like. Who can help me with examples?). Then tomorrow I'll get to work on making stamps (TOP SECRET, EYES ONLY, GEHEIM, etc.). A lot of time goes into doing research, to find the right papers and examples, but it's also fun if you get to do it on assignment. The only problem is that you don't get too much time for it. Strict deadlines because of the shooting schedule. And the funny thing is, once you're busy, more and more is added, but the time that remains. Some props will be close up in the picture, so it has to look correct. Who knows, after I'm done, some things might end up in the webshop. What would you like to see in the webshop?

Not only a German Reisepass/Dienstpass made today for this film production, also various papers for the SHAEF headquarters. Forms and letters from Eisenhower and Montgomery. Tomorrow more German papers, letters and forms, stamps and more… stay tuned…

For a film production I am making various papers. There was also a request to make a German Dienstpass. The inside is the same as the Reisepass (Passport), only the cover is different. It is grey/green in colour and instead of Reisepass it says Dienstpass. Now looking for suitable paper for the cover.

Enhance your German WWII re-enactment with historically accurate documents and pocket fillers. From Soldbuchs to ration boxes, ci******es, and theater tickets—discover authentic details for a realistic impression.

A convincing re-enactment impression is all about the details. Whether portraying a German soldier, officer, or civilian, the small elements make all the difference. An authentic uniform is crucial, but without the right personal belongings and documents, your impression remains incomplete. In this....

I am slowly getting things back on track. I have been asked for a while whether certain items that have been "Out of Stock" for a long time will be made again. For now, French ID cards have been made again, but I also want to pick up other items again. Especially the German items that are "Out of Stock". A lot is made by hand and boxes are cut out with a cutting plotter. However, this process takes a very long time before I have cut out a box, scored and glued together. And if you are going to make about 50 boxes... So, I am considering having dies made for the boxes, but unfortunately they cost a lot of money. But it would speed up the production of the boxes. Okay, more to come...

If you could write Santa a wish list, what kind of paperwork would be on it? Of course, it could be products that are in the webshop, but of course it could also be paperwork that is not there, but that you would like to have.

I would love to see what you all wish for. Write your wish list below...

Finished two other projects. An American box for a razor holder and an American box for toothpaste. These were also on my wish list for a long time. I was not working on the repros for a long time, but now I really have to catch up. Things are finally going in the right direction again...

Another project I have now finished. A new field post box that is stapled on the sides and slides into each other as two parts. Label it with a "Grüß aus der Heimat" (Greetings from the fatherland) to send to the soldier at the front. We are steadily moving forward...

Today I added a number of products to stock. The coming days I will see if I can make Esbit boxes, since there is a lot of demand for them. Also the AB64 Paybooks, the British Players and other cigarette boxes. There are still 53 products "Out of Stock", I hope to replenish them all soon. And then look at new products, such as the Krafts Knäckebrot that I made yesterday. Then take product photos and place them in the webshop. Still a lot of work to do.
