One of the fortresses in the Grebbelinie can be occupied in the high season and during special days by a volunteer pseudo-company of soldiers consisting of enthusiastic ex-soldiers and other engaged people. The daily life of a soldier in the Grebbelinie can be experienced by the visitors.
Some old bicycles can be reconstructed and used for a demonstration of a so called rifle group of nine soldiers. The canons of 1870 can be loaded with some powder and a salute shot can be given at noon.
Cooking can be done as in the days of 1940 and a real soldiers' meal can be served in a soldier's can. Children can even exercise for half an hour in marching and saluting as if they were recruits.
A lot of possibilities are left to the creativity and possibilities of the volunteers.
