For our next instalment in this series Tony starts with a couple of submissions: <\/em><\/p>\n

Our title image is a scene from the film “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”, the Charge of the Rohirrim, with Th\u00e9oden at the fore during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Figures from Tony’s extensive collection.<\/p>\n

Returning to history, Tony says: “I thought I’d have a go at recreating some WW2 historical photos for this. I dug out my copy of “Blitzkreig in the West<\/a>” from After The Battle publishing, which specialises in showing contemporary photos and then retaking the scene as it was in the 70s (when the book was published…)”.<\/p>\n

We can’t reproduce the photos from the book for copyright reasons, but here are Tony’s reconstructions.<\/p>\n

On May 10th, 2nd Panzer Division was moving through the Ardennes – the original photo shows a PzIII passing a Protze truck.\u00a0I used a Pz.III and a Horch field car – I didn’t have a Protze with crew figures, the Horch just looked better. In hindsight it needed a backdrop of some sort to hide the garden fence.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of May 15th 1940, the French 26eme BCC (heavy tank battalion) encountered units of the 7th Panzer Division near Flavion in Belgium. After heavy fighting the Char B1s were stopped by German artillery. I found a fully painted B1 in my collection that was still awaiting its tracks, so I thought it would make an ideal stand-in for the disabled vehicle on the road.<\/p>\n

Moving from WW2 to the Hundred Years War, Stephen gives us the Battle of Cr\u00e9cy<\/a><\/p>\n
