Thanks for the info! You've been very helpful. Any info on the motorcycle?

@7500jenn : The german half track (251) is actually a post war built Tatra OT810. The Czechs built the original 251s for the Germans and continued to build a modified version after the war for the Czech army. The vehicle has been converted to look like an original wartime production vehicle.

@7500jenn : The Sturmgeschutz III G is a replica. It was built by HBO for the series "Band of Brothers". The Sturmgeschutz or StuG was the most produced german armored fighting vehicle of the war. If you want a short history of these vehicles look it up on Wikipedia.
The Kubelwagen is an original 1944. It was captured by the Russians and in a museum is Russia before it was imported into the US. The Kubelwagen basically was the German equivalent of the Jeep.

The guy giving rides was dressed as a German paratrooper...I have alot of pictures of it and want to be able to give my students specfic info. I think the guy was from Pa??

Which vehicle do you have a question about ? The half track belongs to the Collings Foundation. The ford trucks belong to 3rd Panzer Grenadiers. The StuG and Kubelwagen belong to the 9th SS Hohenstaufen.

@82ndairborne100 No I did not. This was the 3rd time they've had the event and it gets bigger every year. There was probably between 100-150 reenactors who performed.
