Hi,
last sunday I had been to the "Historische Zeitreise ins 18.Jahrhundert" - a camp of Reenactors concerning the 18th century. It takes place every year on the second weekend in August.

I have been there for the third time now and it is always a pleasure to see the uniforms and clothing of this century and all the reenactors bringing the feeling of this epoche to life.
The programm they offer every year on these two days is also interesting, showing some old Rokoko-dancing styles, fencing, different handymen dealing with rifles, clothing and much more, recruitment and of course presentation of the single units and a small battle.
I am sure that if you search on YouTube you will also get some more impressions of this timetrip. Here are just two of them.

Looks really cool Mike! You can tell they are not on campaign by how nice the uniforms are and how well fed they are.....some of them very well fed!

Yes, Christopher, you are right. Maybe I should join especially the Franconian Artillery. :):):)
