Battle For Schmidt World War II Reenactment Held In Philadelphia, PA On December 6, 2014

Once again, Fort Mifflin held its annual World War II Reenactment in the cold of December.  This time it was cold AND wet.  As you may have seen in my previous blog entry, December 6, 2014 was a very wet day.  I was soaked.  The ground was saturated and this affected the maneuvers as you will observe shortly.

There were Battles at 11:00 and 3:00.  Here is a video of the 3:00 Battle:

Photographs (I did my best with them ... at times the lens was wet and partially obstructed with steam) ...

I showed this photo to some of the Reenactors when it was still in the camera and they were cracking up.  Someone even used the word scorpion to describe the fall.  It DOES look like a scorpion!

I had to post the large default size of this:
