This event was proposed and requested by the 2nd Fallshirmjager back in October. So they are still formulating things and reviewing possible sites. I'm sure they will have more information the first of the year.  |

It should be noted that the pix of GJs in shorts were taken long AFTER the battle while the 5th Gebirgjager division (85th and 100th GJ Regiments) were on occupation duty over the summer and fall of 1941.

Early War vehicles are ok for this event, such as German field grey or blue motorcycles, kittenkrads, and Commonweath trucks etc.
Early War AT guns and other Artilliey might work as well.
