Kompanie, PALA
130 is a group of WW2 German re-enactors located in central Florida.
Historically, PALA 130 was a Reconnaissance Battalion for the Panzer Lehr
Division, and 5. Ko. was its heavy weapons company. Working in conjunction with other Living History groups throughout
the state,
we endeavor to keep alive and honor the memory of the men and women who
shaped history and earned the right to be called "The Greatest Generation".
We do not agree with the ideology of the Third Reich, and in no way glorify
the true horrors of War. We are students of history and endeavor to honor
all Veterans. Alive or dead, regardless of nationality, all were
willing to lay down their lives for the country and people they loved. |

5. Kompanie,
PALA 130 operates a mobile museum that offers a window into the
past. At air shows and other public venues, we give people an
opportunity to handle authentic World War 2 equipment and weapons.

We have a large collection
of historical artifacts, many of which were brought back to the United States as war
trophies by American GIs. Among these are weapons, flags and personal
items . Also collections of American newspapers
with headlines from every theater of the war. It's like taking a step back in time. |

We are members of the Historical Association of Florida, a non-profit organization. Dues are currently $20 a year.
Different units throughout Florida specialize in depicting different military and paramilitary
organizations. British, American, German, Russian and French units are all available for you to explore, and units are always anxious to recruit new members.
Some units can help new members by loaning them uniforms, weapons and equipment until they can afford their own.
