RE-ENACTORS
SHOW part 1 |
We
emphasize that this is a scene re-enacted.
This overview is also an impression of that time. |
|
A farmer is in the distance call, as a woman is, walking
next to her bike |
|
Children didn't know about the struggle that soon would
take place |
|
The Germans inspect the farmers cart, and steal some goods
and bread |
|
The farmer protests, but he knows he couldn't stand a
chance... |
|
He walks away, and a small farmers wagon approaches |
|
|
|
In between the Germans also steal the bike of the woman as
they 'confiscated'everything they could use |
|
Oh my, the wagon appears to hide a few people of the
resistance..... !! |
|
The resistance men are being taken under arrest, the
situation is very tense ! |
|
Under threat of fire-arms they are being searched on
weapons or other information...The officer smells peril ! |
|
|
|
The men are detained in the old mill of Eerde, they will be
interrogated later on |
|
The old wagon is also searched for weapons or other
stuff... |
|
|
|
Suddenly the situation changes, the Germans have spotted
American paratroopers !!!!! |
|
|
|
The Germans grab their weapons, shoot two resistance men on
the spot who lead the Americans to here |
|
Suddenly it's panic all over the place, the street, around
the houses, the shooting has started ! |
|
German soldiers try to win terrain on the Americans but
they meet fierce resistance... |
|
|
|
The Germans face their minority, and soon the US troopers
march on ! |
|
They steadily win meters, hiding behind bricks and
trees..... |
|
Wounded men fall on both sides... |
|
The first wounded men can be treated by the medics... |
