Thanks for this. I'd never heard of FAUN, obviously not well known outside Germany - though with a Japanese partner now.
The badge with the spanner appears on several of these vehicles; I imagine its the badge of a local military vehicle owners group, rather than a genuine service badge. Otherwise, a WW2 US half-track and a 1950's Bundeswehr lorry would never have belonged to the same unit!

Sounds like its a very fun place to be! Is it an annual event or is this the first time its been around?

Its been held annually since about 1985, but this was the first time I have been. It seems to be the project of one man, so a local event rather than national and not widely advertised. But I'm sure I'll go again.
We're going on holiday tomorrow, back August 28th, so I'll be offline for a while. Flying to the Isle of Man, staying in a friends house.
