Got the Kübelwagon running and took it for a short drive. Installed a new carburetor and it needs adjusting, but it’s running rather well.

The 13th Kompanie of the Infanterieregiment was the Infanteriegeschütz Kompanie. Our unit has been the 13th Kompanie since we bought our le IG 18 in 2015. We haven’t employed our IG for several years now because we’ve been focusing on other things for the hobby. However, a week ago, we transferred the IG to one of our sister regiments of the .79 Infanteriedivision, Infanterieregiment 226. I am proud to know they will be able to employ her well just like we did. As a parting effort, we served her one last time at the Wacht am Rhein event in Enfield, NC. She did great service.
