On April 28, 2019, we once again kicked off the new tourist season at MTW GRYF in Dąbrówka with a bang. This time, the highlight of the picnic was the historical reenactment entitled Afghanistan 1988, depicting an episode from the Soviet Union’s military intervention in Afghanistan from 1979-1989, a long-forgotten event in our country. It’s worth noting that this was the first reenactment of the Afghan conflict in Poland. Between the reenactments, we presented a dynamic display of all the new vehicles that enriched the museum’s collection during the winter break.
Thank you to everyone who came to MTW GRYF, despite the poor weather. We also extend our thanks to the 1st Lębork Mechanized Battalion, the Częstkowo Volunteer Fire Department, the Land Forces Museum in Bydgoszcz, the paramedics, Łukasz Gładysiak, StG44, Przemek Jakusz, Adam Gorlikowski, Włodek Steinka, JS 3102 GRYF, Igor Petrov, and Maciej Stupkiewicz, the reenactors and drivers, and everyone involved in organizing the event. Those who weren’t there should regret it!

A great and atmospheric VHS video by Marcin Klerik, a participant in the “war.” Many thanks for the front-line footage. Highly recommended! 😉
