ATTN: History Department Chairman
Are you looking for ways to make your history classes more interesting? Would
you like to have the opportunity for your classes to talk to the people who made
the history? How about if this were available with
no extra effort
on your part and at
no cost’?
On
Saturday, January 30, 1999, the World War II Historical Preservation
Federation in conjunction with the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge will
REENACT THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville, PA.
Fitted out with tanks, cannons, aircraft and all
the equipment and uniforms of that era, these present day re-enactors and actual
veterans of the battle will recreate this last, desperate German offensive of
World War II and the heroic deeds of the Allied Forces who stopped it.
The first formation for the re-enactors will be
held at 8:00 AM and they will move to the field for the battle at 9:00 AM. The
battle will continue until approximately 4:00 PM. You do not need to stay for
the entire battle. You may return to the barracks area and talk with the living
history personnel who will remain behind to entertain your questions and
comments. These people are well versed about the Battle of the Bulge and will
explain their uniforms, equipment, life style and a myriad of other interesting
things about their life during this epic event.
If you plan to attend, please contact the
undersigned and I will send you a map showing the location of the encampment and
appropriate parking areas. Also, if you have any questions or comments, please
contact me at the above address or by phone at 717-861.8829.
Sincerely,
Warren P. Parks
