UNTERNEHMEN EULENWALD - August 2010 training weekend

Our traditional summer training weekend was held in early August this year.

As we respect traditions, program included a march to Mauser Höhe and back the next morning.
Weather was exceptionally warm, temperatures reached +28°C, and this took its toll on marching Gebirgsjäger.
Nobody fainted but the day spent in Mause Höhe included mainly resting.

If winter temperatures in our happenings can be -30°C and summer almost +30°C we may have
the widest possible temperature range for re-enactment!

Direction: Mauser Hill! SS-Oscha Ullrich leads the patrol in forest road.

Small break on hot weather, SS-Oberscharführer Ullrich is on guard while the rest of the patrol have a drink.
Note mosquito net, a must in Finnish summer!

Cap well - all well! SS-Sturmmann Eichen gets ready to move on.

Position of patrol is checked from map; here we left the road and headed to forest.

Hot weather takes its toll; SS-Rottenführer Repper taking a break.

Closing Mauser Höhe, just one more hill to descend and another to climb - and of course cross the swamp between them!

Finally there! Wet gear was hanged up to dry..

..drinking water fetched below the cliffs..

..and fire was lit. It was time for lunch!

And swimming! SS-Oberscharführer Ullrich, our master swimmer, leads by example!
