Our common reconstruction event of Fort Mogosoaia (1st-2nd September 2006) was also presented in the November issue of the famous French “Militaria - Magazine”.





This is a good advertising for our futures shows.

Well, well...
That certainly is some good news, and we can only hope it gets more reenactors from Western Europe to come to our shows. We should restage the Mogosoaia event this year also, maybe changing places this time...

I see they used one of my photos

Right! It’s my fault!
I have copied all the photos I found on this subject in order to make an archive. I succeeded to amass almost 1000 photos of the event, from different sources, and I put them, in chronological order on a (in fact two) CD. It’s very interesting to see the same sequence from different angles, shot by different photographers.
When I selected the 5-6 photos for this short article, I took them from the whole archive and I forgot to mention the initial authors.
I ask you apologize for this omission.

No problem. I was just surprised.

One of the newspaper articles posted in this thread mentioned the plan for a ww2 reenactment in Hungary on 25 October. Does anybody know more about this?

No way.
This is one of the typical journalists’ innovations. Probably the author of the article learned that on 25th of October was planned an exhibition at the Military Historical Museum of Budapest. From almost 10 years there is an agreement between the military museums of Bucharest and Budapest, to “exchange” temporary exhibitions. These are usually inaugurated about 15th of May (the Hungarian armed forces’ day) in Bucharest and about 25th of October in Budapest. This year the MMN exhibition was about the everyday life of the Romanian soldier in WW1. See the poster:



Unfortunately there were no plans for any “battle” show in Budapest. I think the people of Budapest saw enough street fights (including with a WW2 T-34 soviet tank) during the last days.

There is a funny story related to this picture.

A couple of protesters stole a WW 2-era tank, from an outdoor exhibition, put it in motion and drove it towards the wall of riot police. As you may imagine, they got really scared.
Obviously, this must have been a premeditated act, as you cannot simply start a 60+ year old tank and drive it.

They say that the driver, an old man in his late 60s, was a revolutionary from 1956, who actually drove tanks in the revolution.

I found this quite a brazen (and unique) fact

Our reenacting plans included , for the future, to search, buy and restore such old vehicles and use them for reenacting purposes. What answer we can hear, now, from the authorities for such idea?

Here is a video with the tank in Budapest:
