Early 17th Century Soldiers Thrust Boldly into
Early 21st Century Germany
As the good citizens of both Germany and the Netherlands were
sensibly sitting down to their evening meals, an invasion force of
inestimable courage and daring assembled in the Fortress of
Bourtange in the Netherlands. Fueled by a foamy Dutch beverage
and braving the heavy rain, the invasion force resolutely marched
east toward Germany, carrying muskets, polearms, drums and colors.
With only a single and brief pause to unload some of that Dutch
beverage in the 'Wee Woods,' the rainsoaked yet stalwart force swept
on to rendezvous with destiny at Germany's border.
Note: each
small image is a link to its larger picture.

 Flushed
with success (and much rain), soldiers regrouped back inside the
Netherlands to return to the Fortress of Bourtange where they lifted
their tankards to their glorious victory... and lifted... and
lifted... |
This invasion did not bring about
the collapse of the government of Germany, nor the breakdown of the
European economy, nor did Western Civilization unravel. Nonetheless,
consider Chaos Theory, which would have the flapping wings of a
butterfly in Tibet ultimately lead to a hurricane in the Caribbean.
We shall await events. |
