Tour of the camps
Last weekend, an international military historical festival called "Give Kiev!". Were reconstructed scenes fights for crossing water obstacles and a foothold in the battle for Kiev. In the reconstruction was attended by over 1000 participants of various historical military clubs in the world. Blogger under the name carabaas able to attend this festival and learn everything firsthand.
Enter the territory of the military-historical festival "Give Kiev!" Was not easy. Stood around the cordon and passed not all. But bloggers were invited by the organizers. I do not know - what is happiness, but to go to the camp of the Second World War reenactors I dreamed for a long time. Maybe we were lucky because the head organizer of the festival is ZhZhist
He met us at the door and passed from hand to hand Nadezhda Shvets - responsible representatives of the club's communication with journalists and fotokorrespondenatami. Then we dealt with it.
But even with it to get into the camp of "German" troops was not easy. Very serious esesman with a leather briefcase in hand doubted. But then allowed the previously all counting.
There, on the German positions, we passed the pilot Hans, a man who is right and sensible to us to explain. We, of course, listened to, but, nevertheless, constantly distracted.
We got to the camp for lunch. As they say - war by war, and dinner - on routine ... Some soldiers of the Fuhrer already resting after a meal. Some are just beginning to receive food.
Girl something elicits Hans of tank engines.
Hans did not have time to answer questions. Here, in the photo you can see the argument about fortification ...))
Bloggers looked into the dugout. By the way, in these dugouts reenactors lived three days. Well, they had stoves and firewood.
Someone always watching bloggers from heaven
Medic showed us his first aid kit
A radio operators - communications center
Here it is. All equipment is authentic. Only modern batteries.
Bloggers photographed
Not yet photographed everything that could
We said goodbye to Hans amiable and moved to another camp.
Here, everything looked too thoroughly. You can spend the winter.
The first thing we were greeted by Russian kolaborant and demonstrated their abilities. Waving his sword. Or maybe it was not kolaborant at all, and the liberator of the Russian Bolsheviks ?!
Here we photographed technique.
And listened to a lecture about the German gendarmerie.
Sergeant us all recounted. One of the main functions of the field gendarmerie was the discovery and arrest deserters soldiers. According to Hitler, "soldiers may die, and deserters have to die" - so most deserters were executed. Also, some units perform a number of other functions in the occupied territories of the Wehrmacht. Their mission is to control the movement of vehicles and aircraft, performing the functions of civilian police, to identify guerrillas hiding soldiers also participate in mass arrests, executions, especially the Jews, sending people to concentration camps. Often field gendarmerie units worked with the Secret Field Police (it. Geheime Feldpolizei) and SS. Actions field gendarmerie - one of the most poorly studied pages of history of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
Corner of my eye and one ear was able to see / hear a conversation with veteran reconstructor. Veteran looked quite young and asking tricky questions. All received convincing answers.
German biker clutched his motorcycle
But the possibility of this location have been exhausted and bloggers headed to the ferry.
Left shore, coast right ...
Already starting to get dark, and would even just a little shoot ...
Nearby were already carefully made wooden gun. This something easy and drown.
And here we are in the camp of the Red Army
In the camp of the Red Army was much duller
Bloggers wandered in search of objects for shooting, but to no avail.
Grasp the meaning of "Battle leaf»
But someone still managed to shoot
And
And so - just rows of tents
Oh! Machine gun!
Machine gun photographed and we went back. Along the way met the Czechs.
Leaving the festival, looked out at the shop and said goodbye to the owners of the holiday. Finally ask a few questions. And thank you for your hospitality.
