VE day Celebration...Netherland's style.

Post by Bill_Wolf »

One of the groups members, Adrie Rens, was good enough to send along pictures of his recent participation in the Bussum Bridgehead reinactment event in the Netherlands. This yearly event is the largest reinactment event in the Netherlands and coincides with their celebration of VE Day.

It looks like a good time and the bivouac area looks much like it did 60 years ago.

While some of the trucks are not CCKW's I felt it imperative to post them as it does add to the flavor of the event. I put them up on their own page.

Great shots...Thanks Adrie!
