Mainly recreating the well known scene at Kaiserbarrake crossroads during the Battle of the Bulge.

I had to go looking for this, but a great photo, also video footage. Thanks very much for mentioning it.

Yes the LSSAH fooling around for the newsreel cameras :)

Few years ago I did four large scenerios showing various takes from the films in 1/35 , and revisted the crossroads again in a vignette last year ...um,,,, and La Gleize............ did I mention I might have been obsessed by the Battle of the Bulge for 40 years , and had planned to retire to the Ardennes until a certain vote blocked that as an option .

 

EDIT - Sorry ..not intended to take over your thread.

Retiring to the Ardennes ? 
Now, that’s pushing obsession VERY far 😂 !

Hubert, who, less originally, retired to sunny Portugal (but whose name Saint was from the Ardennes, and, after converting to Christianism, and forgiving game hunting, ended up founding the town of Liège, being its first bishop ;) )

Nice choice, Kevin!  All SS divisions have names. 

1st SS began it;s life as AH's bodyguards.

2nd  SS Das Reich 'The Empire'

3rd  Totenkopf 'death's head'

4th Polizei 'police'

And on and on...  Many with names that reflect on a locality connection, or some figure from the past.

Thanks very much, guys! As much as I think I know about WW2 there is so much more to learn. It is one of the aspects of the hobby that I like the most!
