On June 7 and 8 together with a BMP2 from the Heeresgeschichtliche Museum we provided the "historic backdrop" for the Open Hause Day of the 35th Tank Grenadier Battalion (PzGrenB 35) in Grossmittel.
A "Kürassier" light tank from the long-disbanded 9th Tank Grenadier Battalion represented the time when each Battalion still had its own integrated tank company, and the previous Command-APC of the 9th Tank Grenadier Brigade was the visible sign that the 35th is maintaining the tradition of the "9th" as the last existing mechanized unit of this hallowed brigade. Even a massive hailstorm on Saturday afternoon couldn't stop the event, and with our new ties to the 35th we are happy to announce that there is a very high probability that they will also be part of our Fall Gathering in Prottes by end-August.
Setting off for the road march back home after the hailstorm on Saturday afternoon
