Recapping the second day of Militracks 2024 in Overloon, the Netherlands. The track is sadly a bit wet due to the rain the previous day. Although there was a Tiger I present, it was sadly not seen driving. Within the video you will see a Panzer IV, a StuG III and a Nashorn drive along side various of other vehicles.
"WELCOME AT THE GREATEST EVENT WORLDWIDE ON GERMAN WWII VEHICLES ON MAY 25-26, 2024!
During the Militracks weekend, there are German motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, half-tracks and armoured vehicles on display that were predominantly in service of the Wehrmacht. German vehicle technology at that time was in many cases qualitatively better than that of the allies. At Militracks, it is demonstrated - and some cases literally - how that technology worked. The vehicles are also not just set up in static displays, but driven around on the special, kilometre-and-a-half trail on the museum grounds. It is also possible to ride along. You can buy tickets for that on the grounds themselves."
What is Militracks?
Militracks is an annual event held at the Overloon War Museum in the Netherlands, focusing on the military vehicles and equipment of the German armed forces from World War II. This event typically features a variety of restored German tanks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, trucks, and other military machinery. Enthusiasts and collectors from around the world gather to showcase, view, and sometimes even ride in these historical vehicles.
The organisation claims the event to be the greatest event worldwide on German world war 2 vehicles.
