WWII North Africa Event
Off-topic, but if anyone is attending this event or stop by, I'd be happy to share a beer and show them my collection:
The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) Please PM if any anticipated takers so I can roll out the red carpet. |

Re: WWII North Africa Event
My Father served in the US Army in North Africa and Italy during WWII. Desantnik, did you happen to serve there then? My father NEVER would talk to me about what happened there, I know he got a Purple Heart, that's about it.

Re: WWII North Africa Event
That campaign was a little before my time. Pass on my appreciation to your father for his service.

Re: WWII North Africa Event
Not sure there were any Soviet troops there. Unless you count Iran (which is Middle East). Did I miss something?

Re: WWII North Africa Event
Beyond that take note of the fact that this is "general".
Would there be a description of command landing vessels?

Re: WWII North Africa Event
Interestingly, there were three Soviet reenactors depicting the 193 Rifle Division, two RKKA soldiers - a lieutenant and starshina, and a borderguard. Eastern front nazis and a few Afrika Korps.
If anyone can make it, stop by. No US landing craft, but some really nice surprises like a US WWII Harley, German kettenkrad, 20mm air defense cannon, etc. |
