Personal note

The Tank ride was an awesome experience, unfortunately the Stuart was short of fuel and the Sherman got stuck just at the end of the ride.
The Stuart finally managed to rejoin the Battlefield of the BGHRM event as the Hetzer.

I met a friend of mine, Cédric Forjan, he was standing in the turret of the Sherman during the whole tank ride. He owns a blog where he details his own outings with his Jeep.

The re-enactment event was a great opportunity to see German soldiers (coming on purpose from Germany), American soldiers (from Belgium) and a splendid show with "smokes & fumes"
The show lasted one hour and half, the tank ride lasted four hours.

It was a great day with snow surrounding us all day long.
