CF-AHM Battle for the Airfield

Battle for the Airfield has been the Collings Foundation's most durable onsite annual event since 2007. Over one autumn weekend, Allied and German re-enactors set up opposing camps to demonstrate how units lived in the field, circa October 1944. Troops, armored vehicles, and pyrotechnics are employed to demonstrate the re-enacted battle each day. - This collection is from the 2025 Battle for the Airfield. It was photographed to mimic the films generally used by military and civilian combat photographers of the day.
