Me, along with 3 other Fallschirmjagers traveled from WA state down to CA for the St. Lo reenactment. My FJ squad grabbed in 4 of the Regiment guys (a few post here), and we formed a PanzerJager squad. We had: 2 MP44 2 Beretta 38 1 MP40 3 K98s w/grenade launchers As well as a panzerschrek, tellar mine, and lots of grenades. Here are my photos: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=40375&l=e2a17&id=692709796Axis had: 4 Halftracks Panzer III Hetzer Kubels, Schwimms, and some motorbikes. I also met flectarn there!

The receptionist at our hotel said the man supposedly put two of his kids through college doing that.
Awesome pictures. Looks like one hell of an event.

I was there with the 12th ϟϟ ! I had so much fun! And Binary, I met you there, im not sure if you remember me, but I was with you and the other FJ as well as some other 12th ϟϟ guys when we were advancing across the hillside before we got to the american camp on sunday, and you asked what unit we were and I was the kid you asked hehe. Anyways, great event !

I kept saying the same thing about Normandy the entire day...definately would have been a great AO for either an Italian or Tunisia event. There was Allied armor...Warren got a kill on one with the panzerschrek! I dont know what there was though...I will try and get you a list. I was there with the 12th ϟϟ ! I had so much fun!

Anyways, great event ! -Tobin I do remember that! I was real impressed with the 12th, you guys all looked great, were young, and hard chargers. We had to race you guys to the fight every time. I wish the rest of the FJ were as hard charging

Awesome picture Binary. You guys looked badass. The Kraut vehicles looked terrific. What a great assortement Normandy sure looked like the Mediterranean however! Were there US vehicles as well? Three Stuarts, an M8, and hordes of jeeps, which amounted to pissing into the wind against the Panzer, Hetzer, and three German halftracks lol. We were supposed to have a Sherman, two halftracks, and a British AT gun, but that didn't happen. Amazingly for some reason or another all the US units also either forgot/was broken/didn't want to bring their bazookas so the infantry had no AT weapons lol, oh and did I mention we were outnumbered IIRC 3 to 1 . It was a really fun battle though, usually the situation is reversed with the Germans being outgunned and out manned, and it was interesting to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. Binary - My squad was near the German camp at the end of Saturday supporting a Stuart in a gully. I think either we took your 'schrek out, or you guys took the Stuart we were supporting out. Either way once it died we bolted out of there, were you guys hunting us down as we retreated?

That was us. The Stuart supporting you was putting fire on a heer element to your front. They had a panzerschrek that fired once but was killed by the stuart. The FJ's where on your right flank and I killed the stuart with two shots from the schrek, one while it was stuck in the gully and a second when it backed in to a tree getting out of the gully. We tried to chase you guys down but you where too far away , you were moving really fast.
