2009 Deadmans Corner.
No Fj camp this year unfortunately.
Famo.
Had he lived he would quite rightly have been hanged, for the murders at Oradour sur Glane.

Great photos Tyschen, the FAMO in particular, do you know if that was that a local entrant ?

We found her beside three Shermans at the event in St. Mere-Eglise having gone there for the collectors fair - not sure iwhat neck of the woods she is from but my word she was impressive.
A "Turncoat Kubel".

Re: 2009 Deadmans Corner.
Manny must have more uniforms than "Mr. Ben ".

True Mike, not just the event at DMC, a class gig, but the whole of the trip. We all learned a lot that June.dagda wrote:Carentan! Best gig Ive ever did! Nice pic of Manny, Ill have to get a pic with him and Mike B in that Yank gear!!

Re: 2009 Deadmans Corner.
Nice photos, I wonder who Grenadier Georg Bossl was...........
'Gott Mitt Uns' - Yeah mate, got mittens too
Re: 2009 Deadmans Corner.
Guys, really sorry for that pic of me in US kit Had to go in "disguise" so i could potentially recce the site for next time.....!
Yep, it was a total no-goer as far as the Fj portrayal was concerned. This year was just too high profile for M. De Trez to risk upsetting anyone.
The display MAY happen again, i'm always asking. But, nothing is certain for now.
I think the Shermans were based at the "Overlord" encampment just along the road a little from DMC. As for the FAMO etc i'd no idea.
That scarf DOES see a lot of use! Ha!

The FAMO belongs to Michel Leloup at the August 1944 Museum in Falaise...

A badly lit and rather cramped museum with some really quite remarkable exhibits... PzIV, Kfz 251, Kfz 250 Neu, Kettenkrad, Schwimmer, Borgward BIV, 88 etc but also lots of smaller equipment and field gear... and a lot of interesting 'rust' in the back lot..

Re: 2009 Deadmans Corner.
As I took the photo Manny was explaining to an American lady the battle which had unfolded around the area , I too would like to see the Fj able to return to DMC.
Unfortunately one of those situations were the thoughtless antics of a few have reflected and rebounded on those who do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.
The Big Famo - very impressive , hopefully will see her again next year. ( Fingers crossed).
