Operation Nordwind WWII Tactical Reenactment

Our first event for 2011 will be the World War II tactical at Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA on 24-27 MAR. This scenario is based around Operation Nordwind which started on 1 JAN 1945 in and around Alsace and Lorraine, France (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nordwind).

Members of the 1st Allied Airborne's 502nd Baker Company will be participating as part of the I and R Platoon under Captain Mike Felmlee of the 83rd ID. Nordwind is an INVITATION ONLY EVENT. Other members of the 1st AA who wish to apply for participation should contact Pat Eddy or Chris Smith via the contact page at http://www.firstalliedairborne.com/.

Similar to the "Battle of the Bulge" event at FIG in January, Nordwind caters more toward those attending specifically for the battle scenarios. Billeting is still in the original WWII barracks and there will be a number of vendors selling reenacting goods and militaria. A greater number of period vehicles usually participate than in January as well.

More information will be posted on the 1st Allied Airborne Facebook Page.
