Finally back from summer holidays with family and only a week to go until "Unternehmen Eulenwald",
our traditional summer training and forest marching weekend. As usual we head off to Mauser Hill
located in our summer training area.
Picture updates from summer happenings should be online soon..

It seems that our pictures have been "loaned" to websites elsewhere as well; why not as copyrights
of those pics must have been expired a long time ago, but as we have had the trouble of locating them,
scanning the pics and putting them online it would be fair to put our units's name next to the pics!

Did some small maintenance work with the "Albums" -page, as it turned out that
the old location where the albums were stored did not work. Well- luckily webspace is cheap,
so I contacted our service provider and ordered 100Mb more space for our site.

OK, first set of Three Days in January pics is now online!
Sorry for the delay, I wish there were 48 hours in a day!

As you may know, our unit hq suffered a serious computer screw-up in late October 2009.
My computer simply went dead and refused to work anymore. That's why all updates have been "on hold"
for some time. Luckily, we have a beautiful iMac computer now (no more MS and PC crap in this house)
and update situation will be improving. I have lots of picures from "Three Days in January" waiting
to be processed and updated here!

Lots of time has passed since the last post on this page.
However I would still like to announce that my accomodation issue is now OK
and that I am living in my new "HQ" in the beautiful village of
Helsinki as Franz would put it.
And yes, I am back from combined sick-leave/house renovation leave and again in my post as unit commander

Until my situation with this renovation and temporary accomodation improves,
SS-Rottenführer Franz Repper is acting as unit commander.

Februar 2009 pics should be all online now: six pages of winter re-enacting!
Added also a new link.
Updates will be limited during April-May as unit hq will be moving to new
premises. Please bear with me on that!

Winter training weekend was completed succesfully. My warmest thanks to all
participants, both from abroad and home.
Pics of the event will be online sooner or later, I have a big pile of them
and going through all pics takes time.
And some happy unit news as well:
Our Gebirgsjäger-Kamerad Michael Eichen has been promoted to SS-Sturmmann
Justification to promotion was commitment to unit, active participation
in unit happenings and correct military-like behaviour.
Congratulations!

Only a few weeks to our winter weekend!
I am afraid there won't be many updates before that but I also guess that
our SS-KB Willi will be in the forest with
us taking dozens of great pictures for all of us to enjoy!

It's new year and new tricks! 2009 will be the fourth (4th!) year of active
SS Gebirgsjäger re-enacting in our country.
Not a small thing as we don't have many active WW2 re-enacting groups here
(the only other active unit I know is Etulinja).
Winter training weekend has been confirmed to be 27.2.2009 - 1.3.2009. Check your emails and contact me if in doubt.
And yes, I will update new pics soon!

This page will replace the old Michael Gaißmair forum which has not
been very active for year or so. From now
on all unit information will be announced on this particular page as well
as mailed or emailed to unit members.
The old forum will not be completely deleted, I just removed the link from
our website.
Many of you must have wondered where the updates of our pages have been and
when will next unit weekend be.
Update situation has been quiet because of things in my personal life (which
I will not discuss here), next
happening will be winter training in traditional winter training time and
-place. Check your emails!
My warmest thanks for year 2008 to all unit members! Let's make 2009 even
better year
what comes to SS Gebirgsjäger re-enacting in Finland!
