At the Front: Preserving History Through Authentic WWII Recreations​​

When Rollin Curtis founded At the Front in 1992, he wasn’t just starting a business—he was honoring a lifelong passion. As a kid who saw Pattonat age four and never looked back, Rollin immersed himself in military history, model building, and eventually live reenactments. By 15, he was marching through fields with authentic gear, and after serving six years in the Army, he turned his expertise into a mission: creating the most accurate WWII reproductions on the market.

Today, At the Front operates from central Kentucky with a team of 20 dedicated staff and an on-site factory producing over 200 products. We also work with trusted partners across the U.S., Germany, the U.K., India, Pakistan, and China to offer more than 1,000 items—each meticulously crafted based on original WWII examples from our extensive reference collection.

We serve reenactors, filmmakers, museums, veterans, and collectors who refuse to compromise on historical accuracy. Whether it’s a uniform, field gear, or accessories, we ensure every stitch, fabric, and detail matches the era. No shortcuts, no compromises.

But what really sets us apart is our voice. Rollin’s background as an Army NCO means we communicate with blunt honesty—no corporate fluff, no sugarcoating. We call out poor quality, celebrate authenticity, and stand against any misuse of historical symbolism. This is a company built on respect: for history, for craftsmanship, and for the people who value both.

From our early days dyeing webbing on a stovetop to now supplying major films and historical projects worldwide, we’ve never lost sight of why we started: to make history tangible, one accurate piece at a time.
