For over 14 years the 272nd Fusiliers have been host to one of the largest gatherings of WW2 Reenactors on the East Coast. Located in the rolling hills of Central New York, the Odessa Event has been the gathering place for some of the finest units in WW2 reenacting. Odessa as an event has always strived for a fun, safe step back in time to a turbulent period of history. By using traditional tactics of the period, those who attend are expected to solve some of the same types of problems that faced their predecessors.
