THe historical re-enactment of the second world war months #2

Let's talk another tima about Prunetta. Some days ago I made an intruduction to the country and to the event: https://steemit.com/history/@noemilunastorta/the-historical-re-enactment-of-the-second-world-war-months-1

Prunetta was precisely the rear for various soldiers passing the front of the division of the tenth mountain (10 mountain division) from America.
The retovia was used as a base for training but also constituted a place of recreation and rest waiting for more cruel and tiring passages.
The soldiers established a very close relationship with the people who welcomed them with kindness, many diaries and writings testify how they were related to the country and wrote with nostalgia and sweetness.

The first day of re-enactment was dedicated to the setting up of the training scenarios and the movements of the participants in the various areas of the country.

The main installations were in a field at the entrance to the village where the tents were located with the most important nurses and means of transport, a little further on was the American camp.
As for the Germans, they too had their own outpost before being hunted, located in Villa Vannucchi, now a modest home of the Lilli twins, our trusted woodsmen, and of Antonella and Mimmo our trustworthy kittens.
The twins and the couple willingly lent their gardens and grounds for the successful re-enactment, battle in the field in front of their home.

I dare not imagine their amusement in waking up in the morning and finding the house surrounded by soldiers' curtains with symbols of Nazism.

In addition to the set-ups, on the first day there was a good conference with photos and videos related to the rear.
Fundamental contribution to the re-enactment was the material provided by Donald Todd, a soldier in 44/45.
Donald had many things to remember and to film.
Photographic material from which various movies have been created, thanks to the help of the nephew.

The re-evoking displays animated the streets of the town and the people were really beautiful to see.
The civil and military histories shown in the videos and illustrated in the conference were touching and sent back to a desire for peace on which we now reflect too little.
