Last weekend I went to a local museum where they had a living history play - right on the day - of the liberation of that village.
They had running German and American WW2 vehicles like a German tank hunter tank "Hetzer" and an American 155 howitzer firing blanks

Hi Housil,

Thank you for posting, right up my street.

I take it that the "Tiger" was a "mock up"?.

Right. That "Tiger" actually was a T-34 and T-54. It was made for the movie "Stalingrad":

Also from that museum, they used that Kübelwagen for the movie:

(VE Day) Victory in Europe - May 8th, 1945
(VJ Day) Victory in Japan - August 14th, 1945
Formal Surrender of the Japanese and the Official End of WW2 - September 2nd, 1945

70 Years without a third world war! Here's hoping there never is a third.

and from our State TV station with interviews of locals that lived there during the liberation

I enjoyed the Vid and like the little Hetzer Jagerpanze. They were used by Switzerland at least until the 1960's

That Hetzer Jagdpanzer was sweet. Thanks for posting.
