Joris Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Last weekend was Santa Fe, europes biggest WWII re-enactment event. The weather did not help much, rained a lot which kept the visitors away but I had a great time. Here are some pictures of the event: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
