World War Two Re-enactment, THE BEST PICTURES.

WORLD WAR TWO

RE-ENACTMENT

THE BEST PICTURES.

In most cases the playing like soldiers

is not my cup of tea.

But sometimes when specialists

come in action it gets

my attention !

When the re-enactment is placed in a important historical background on the same place as the historical events happened in the past and you can see that every detail is carefully managed then you can see that its

living history at its best !



The M.W.O the highest medal
for  bravery in action.

On the 10 th. of may 1940 the young  2d. Lieutenant Georg Maduro deserved the highest military order for his brave action against the invading German Paratroopers which landed near The Hague. Near to the military airport Ypenburg he orginised the local defence and made a plan to attack the German paratroopers.
His action had a great succes and this story was the format for a serious re-enactment at the place where it all happened, the landing paratroopers in the fields and the counter attack on the villa Dorrepaal.

The brave Maduro died on 09-02-1945

in the concentrationcamp

Dachau.
