not sure I understand the mind set of 're-enactors'. Kinda like playin' army again isn't it?

They show that war is hell.
I know these tanks well. They were in my streets when I was a tiny girl, and also under my windows. I was in the American occupied zone of post war Germany. To this day tanks and their color make me crazy.
