May 2009
Mariongrad Spring Tactical
May 8-9, 2009 Marion, Kentucky
Event Fee: $20.00
Three times each year in the hills of northwestern Kentucky, WW2 history enthusiasts meet in the trenches of Mariongrad to re-enact the battles and recreate the history of the war in Russia. This event is hosted by the 8th Guards Mechanized Corps & 10 Kompanie Gross Deutschland. The Mariongrad re-enactment site is located a few miles north of Marion, Kentucky in the densely wooded hills along the Ohio River and features hundreds of yards of dug trenches, with bunkers, barb-wire and fighting positions. Heavily wooded terrain makes for an excellent infantry battle, but the site is too thickly wooded for vehicles. Contact Don King (Russian), Duane Rose (German) or visit the website for more information.
