Michael Gaißmair together with Parola Tank Museum arranged a training weekend
for re-enactment and military history enthusiasts for the third time. Previous similar
weekends in 2008 and 2009 were a huge success and this time was not an excemption.

Our guests came from different corners of Europe - Scotland, Belgium, Italy and Netherlands,
as well as from Finland as military delegation of Etulinja was also present.

Weekend program included three different training lessons: StuG III, PaK40 and T-34 tank.
Participants were divided in three groups: Finnish, German and Russian team. All groups were trained by weapons experts.

Our guest speaker for Saturday afternoon was former SS-Unterscharführer from Finnish Waffen-SS battalion, his lecture
was an unique possibility for many participants to meet a WW2 Waffen-SS veteran.
