The ABWO was founded 1996 as a means of commemorating the Battle of Arnhem and the preservation of the airborne vehicles that were used during the second World War.
Since then we organize, every year, one weekend in September a grand weekend for all those who own historically correct uniforms, equipment and vehicles.
The steady growth is the best proof of the enthousiasm with which the foundation organizes the event and the re-enactors groups participate.
