The 1st event we had the opportunity to manage the German side came more as a surprise. The original organisers of the German side wouldn’t do the December 2024 event and we were asked. For us it was clear that non of the separate Reenactment groups would have the capacity to organise something like that, so we formed something like a working alliance. After not even 3 month preparation time, we stood with a company (around 80 persons) on a 36 hour exercise on a 50 km² area.
The displayed unit was a company of the Grenadier-Regiment 1128 (560. Volks-Grenadier-Division). We splitted the missions down to the group leaders and had a platoon leader who took over when a concentration of troops was needed.
For us, it was an awesome experience.
… and also a big THX to Kriegsberichterstatter, as well as to the photographer who joined us for one day.
