A long but very good day for the hobby - Part 2

After our trip to Ingolstadt Franz and I made a visit to the Deutschordensritter-Museum in Ellingen.



Here you can see the battle of Tannenberg 1410 build up with about 2.500 - 3.000 flats. 











The battle of Tannenberg was a decisive battle between about 15.000 Teutonic Knights and a mixed army of Poland and Livonia with about 23.000 men.

In the end of the battle the Teutonic Knights lost and even the "Großmeister" was killed.

Here is a short report on the battle in german.











A very interesting epoch with a lot of good-looking uniforms. I just considered to order the new hard plastic sets of Fireforge. I hope that I can resist this temptation.

Cheers
