The Aufklärungs at Avoncroft

Post by Walther »

Last weekend saw the group take part in the Wartime Weekend at the Avoncroft Museum.

The theme of the display for the weekend focused on the weeks leading up to the Battle of Voronezh. In June of 1942 GD underwent a period of rest and refitting near Orel in preparation for the re-opening of the campaign in Russia. As part of Army Group South, the grand plan was to secure the Don and Volga and then drive into the Caucasus towards the oilfields. This signalled the start of the German summer offensive in 1942 code named 'Fall Blau'.

We set up in the manor house and filled the rooms with displays by our Waffenmeister, Funkers, GD FG, Feldpost station and Stabs section. Outside the units bikes were worked on whilst the Mannschaft underwent basic drill and marching practice.

Despite the weather, it was a nice little show and promises to be a favourite for us in the coming years :)

I've been working on pictures taken by Kevin Booth & Martin Pike so thought i'd share the first batch to give you a flavour of the weekend.

Neil.
