Panzergrenadierbrigade 2 "Operation Manouver" 1972

[larry Strong]

I found this documentary about "Operation Manouver" showing Panzergrenadierbrigade 2 in the early 1970s. If I read the maps properly it's a road move from the east side of West Germany to the west, followed by the attack at the end. It's a great set of video's with early Marders (with the rear mounted MG's), Jagdpanzer Kanone 90s, and Leo I's on the move, and early M-109's.

Yes nice documentation. That is why I posted it 3 weeks ago in the Military Video thread in Radio Chatter. ;D

Today unthinkable. Moving thousands of Troops with there gear from one side of BRD to the other and back for training.
Our lefties would explode! ;D

Especially since Braunschweig is no longer a border town, they would have to start say at Frankfurt/Oder to make it interesting ;D
