This year we would like to incorporate some French resistance fighters into the battle so if you know anyone who might like to do this and have 1940’s type of civilian clothing please tell them about the event I also wanted to make sure everyone knows that all WWII impressions as well as vehicles are welcome. I have had some Russian reenactors say they plan on coming. We will incorporate them into the Battles and the displays.
