Re-enactment weekends for 2008 started a little late due to unit commander was on sick-leave and unfit for duty
for the duration of 1st quarter of the year.

However when we got started we did it well and participated in OP Duke's, in Dukes Covert, Grantham, UK.
Three members from Michael Gaißmair fought gallantly alongside Fallschirmjäger and other Waffen-SS units against
the Western Allies - US and British troops, who outnumbered us in manpower and firepower.

Weekend in UK was great, our warmest thanks to Chris and other Kameraden there!
