Pictures of he annual battle for the airfield held at the Collings Foundation's base in Stow Massachusetts. I own the CD of the audio tracks "Jailbreak" and "You Aint Got A Hold On Me". Since I make no profit off these videos there is no reason to remove the audio. Thanks & enjoy!

  • Did you perform in this battle? i notice there arent many people there.

  • @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.

  • i went here

  • 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.

    more to follow

  • @panzergrenadier67 I am looking for more info on all the vehicles ie where they were in service etc...I was asked to do a presentation to some students at my school on what I saw. I am also looking for more info on the black , bmw motorcycle with sidecar. 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.

  • Does anyone know where the German reenactors are from? I have a question about one of their vehicles and would like to contact hem.
