Interesting pictures Franz, thanks for sharing. The first pic looks 41-42 period, judging from the Russian prisoner's collar tabs.

Thank you all for the excellent event, both organisers and other participants. It was really fun and interesting

The last years event looked great. Would have liked to come to check this out, sadly it seems i got that particular day already full.

Again, thank you all. I think that this Introductions section is really nice idea, it helps to get get to know the other members right from the start

Hyvää, kiitos. Lukio on loppumassa, ja voi ottaa taas jonkin aikaa vähän rennommin.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
