October 2008 was a busy month for members of Michael Gaißmair:
In early October we had our StuG -training weekend in Parola and later same month we headed off
to forest to scare locals and look for Russian patrols.

As usual we did not find the enemy but our SS-Kriegsberichter Willi Heydrich managed to take lots of great pictures.

SCHEISSE! Ewald had a little accident with the stick we used to cross trenches. Perhaps it would be a good idea
to keep ones eyes open when your Kameraden pass the stick to you. No wound badge for this accident!
