The
Plan
For this living history event,
it will be just on Saturday & part of Sunday. We will set up a small display showing
the average German infantryman's equipment and personal items as would have
been seen in Normandie just prior to the allied invasion. We will be
leaving the ZUG Embassy early Saturday morning and will most likely be
renting a van for the trip. If you want to get in on this, be sure to
let us know as soon as possible.
