Fort Indiantown Gap 2007

Re-enactors portraying US Army infantry soldiers in World War II march down the company street, flanked by World War II style barracks.

Fort Indiantown Gap, PA, where this video was filmed, is a National Guard training area that hosts the annual Battle of the Bulge re-enactment each January. During the event, approximately 1600 re-enactors spend five days in World War II-style barracks reliving December 1944 and January 1945. Among them are people from all across the United States and Canada, as well as some international participants who fly to the United States for the event.

The re-enactment features authentic barracks displays that are open to the public, a public and re-enactor only battle, a 1940s USO dance, and a large flea market / vendor area.

You're welcome.

And I really wish people would actually ASK about the German "torch ceremony" before they make nasty comments. The ceremony has NOTHING to do with Nazi Germany - it's their grand tattoo, still done by the German military, and goes back to way before WWII. It's the German way of paying tribute to those who died - on all sides!

Looks really like an old propaganda video and you did a very good job with editing. Certainly you can give me some good advice in the next weeks. ^^
