It would definately be easier to go with a post war kit, If you want your gear to last that is. If not, there are places on the internet which sell kits for movies, made out of cheap cotton, rubber, etc but they are only designed for a few wears.

If you are lookin' for a World War 2 Uniform, there is very little options for "cheap" gear as it looks the part. Buyin' used is hard too as Ebay usually has sellers marking reproductions as "Originals" an' thus, get more money for them.

A cool option though, if you are lookin' for that original look, is go with a Russian Kit, they are insanely cheap when compared with German kits...their helmets can retail for 37 US while the German ones can set you back 200+ US.
