Description During our tour of Europe in 2014 we were surprised with quite a ceremony at the old airfield in Juvincourt, France. Bosch was a fantastic host and opened up their facility to us and the public, and they invited an enormous group of French reenactors with their vehicles to come out to greet us. Here a line up of Willys Jeeps and a lone Kubelwagon wait to take us on a tour of the test track which is the central training hub for new vehicles entering France. Simply astounding support and hospitality shown by the lovely French people. Both veterans in the group were awarded the Order of Lafayette.
