four heavily loaded cars with trailers to cross seven european countries. and there's little time for rest. we had a pretty interesting trip to the war history show. to my friends. be friends with fascists. but there is no ideology in it whatsoever but there's no difference between those dressed as the red army. uniforms only served to you know it is very nice when you pass a german camp in a soviet uniform and the germans stand. by you but. at the camp the festival.

the war and peace show in kent england is in full swing russian military be an act of even brought about alike aaron to accordions to entertain the troops. with the first chords of a famous beatles song people begin to gather around the teeth before turning a rumor that the russians had brought

a ballet company to spread around the camp. of the war and peace show there's always somebody taking pictures or video of what's going on they may use modern cell phones or even an original hand crank camera. this camp is a rare place where the combination of eccentric people and historic military hardware can be found many of those in attendance lead normal lives but once a year after thorough preparations they come here to fulfill their childhood dreams and take on the real proud tank driver or a brave paratrooper for with. whatever their age big boys will always want to go to the toys.

oh. i shall. know the years. and. we will remember. the british. soldiers practice the.

british. being a member of the club only the ability to wear a uniform properly and reenacts german life for the front line but also to have a knowledge of how to handle equipment. this is why commander neil robinson is especially hard on recruits who are at the show for the first time these things very needle himself is an enthusiastic react just gimmicks his father fought against the germans in the navy but never met them face to face just after the role his father began collecting the memorabilia to get to lucasfilm. his son continues to help. it's quite often that. people attempt to politicize people attempt to think that the reason why we do this is because somehow we are
