The next morning, we pitched our tents and went in search of a supermarket to stock up on provisions. Back at the campsite, we got ready to head to the railway bridge where the steam train passes through the village and set up our display there. We’d brought some demolition bags and a demolition pole with us. The idea was to hang the demolition bags from the bridge as if we were going to blow them up. After taking a few photos, we took everything down again and went a bit further down the road to a building site to take some more photos. We’d brought along a German re-enactor who’d taken some photos for us and whom we could use as a prisoner of war. After the ‘photo shoot’, we went back to the camp to have a good drink of water and something to eat. The temperature had by then risen to 28 degrees. After we’d eaten and drunk, we went back to the railway bridge to lie in the shade by the water for a while, and there was a lovely cool breeze which we enjoyed. Around half past three, we headed back to the camp and were ready for the mock battle, which was about to begin. As we had swapped the demolition pole for Bangalore torpedoes, we made a good impression on the other re-enactors, as these are items that aren’t often brought along. The scenario for the battle was that the train would pull into the village, Germans would jump off and be engaged by the resistance, who would be defeated, and then the Germans would press on towards the Allied camp. In the street, we engaged them and drove them back. It was all rather laborious and chaotic, but there were some pyrotechnics here and there, so there were some nice explosions during the battle. Unfortunately, I was ‘wounded’ and the battle was over for me as I lay on the ground as a wounded soldier. Bjorn was also ‘hit’ afterwards, and not long after that the battle was over. Wounds healed and the dead came back to life. Fortunately, it was only a game. After the battle, we set up another display at the camp and explained to a few visitors the equipment demolition engineers used during the war. It’s always nice when visitors have worked with certain equipment during their own service and we get to hear their stories as a result. At half past five, we took down the display and decided we’d had enough for the day. We’d certainly earned some clean clothes, a bit of deodorant and comfortable shoes after such a busy day. In the evening, ham was on the menu and a generous buffet of salads had been laid out. We loaded up our plates, had a beer and spent the rest of the evening basking in the afterglow of the sun. Around half past eleven, we’d had enough and headed off to bed.
