The regular services are also accompanied by a Field Military Catering Unit, showing the general public how they cope under battlefield conditions and, of course they will be joined by recruitment personnel.

The show consists of two battles per day with live firing tanks and small arms between the German, Russian, USA and British re-enactors.

Tanks will show their power by crushing cars.
