SUMMARY:WWII Event at Pioneer Village
DESCRIPTION:The year is 1944 and the city is Metz\, France\, a city located in northeast France that had previously fallen to Germans in 1940 and was annexed to the Third Reich. The Allied forces of France\, with its heavy fortifications\, became an important focal point for the Germans to mount a defense to contain the advancing U.S. Third Army. The battle for Metz\, France lasted from September until the end of November in 1944\, with heavy causalities. The last isolated forts of Metz did not surrender until well into December 1944.\n\nOn Saturday and Sunday\, May 18-19\, the Ozaukee County Historical Society and the 1st Allied Airborne Living History Re-enactors will transform Ozaukee County Pioneer Village into a European Village in the midst of World War II. Get ready to step back in time and experience\, first-hand: "Metz: The City That Wouldn't  Surrender".\n\nAttendees can expect to see the military encampments of U.S.\, German and French units\, to name a few. They will see the Veteran's Military Museum military vehicles on parade\, plus demonstrations\, uniforms\, artifacts and weaponry of the time. They will visit a French caf \, a USO canteen in a 1907 railroad station and the Metz field battles. \n\nA special USO style dance is held on Saturday at 7:00PM in the Village Hall featuring wartime favorites and the music of the forties by one of Milwaukee's best swing band\, Swing Nouveau. The re-enactors and USO girls will wear the dress-best to entertain the public\, as well. Come listen to the music and attend the dance for only $8.\n\nThe event runs from 10AM to 5PM on Saturday and 10AM to 3PM on Sunday.
