2019 was a much different year. Having missed the Konigstiger ride of the Militracks 2018 edition I was definitely gonna be present at the 2019 edition. This year was marked by another Saumur museum panzer: the panzer V Panther tank! It was accompanied by two FT17's of the Weald Foundation - one being a rare command version. Besides some known models, like the Hetzer and different halftracks, some really rare and new types were added on the scene since a couple of years. Among these a Krupp Protze, SWS Halftrack, German Flugzeugschlepper and many others. The amount of Kettenkrads and Kubelwagens was staggering... Militracks definitely came a long was since 2010! 

One of the known panzers was the Sturmgeschutz III no. '311' which had appeared on previous editions/ events. The colours, especially added by the dry sand, were as authentic as possibly can be. Nothing could match the original wartime feeling.

A nice surprise were two FT17's - one being a rare FT17 TSF wireless command vehicle. Both were part of the British Weald Foundation. These small early world war 2 French tanks were a very nice add on.

Once again the Hetzer was present. This time in a more 'worn' camouflage scheme showing even rust spots on some area's.

Another nice participant was the Panzer IV 'Nashorn' tankhunter. It was still in the restoration phase in which it wasn't rideable yet - but attended also for some crowdfunding. In 2022, the first edition after the Covid-19 pandemic, it would attend Militracks 2022 completed and riding around!

Too  many other types attended the Militracks 2019 edition. Once again many with authentic German unit markings and camouflage schemes and some in early stages of restoration. I let the photographs speak for themselves!
