Guest DannyVM Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi Guy's and girls, i'm back from a well diserved vacation. Me and my whole family made a trip in the Ardennes region and luxembourgh, and i stumbled on some very intresting monuments regarding "The Battle of the Bulge" I just wanted to share them here, i hope that's ok. Ou're vacation house was not far from the Houffalize region, so i had to make a visit to the Panther that is on display at Houffalize. Track tension isn't what it suposed to be, but it's original. Clervaux castle, also a real know place iff it come's to WW II history. In front off the castle stand's proud....A very nice Sherman tank, It's a M4A3 type Behind the Sherman, is a PAK 43 88 m/m German canon. And as last a real jewel La Gleize was the place where Kampfgruppe Peiper was put at hold by the allies. All theire equipment was left behind, and also was this King Tiger. A local lady bought the tank from the allies for a bottle of cognac, and so today this beast still rest as a rememberance for those who gave theire lives for ou're freedom.

BradG Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The Panther could use a little restoration and it looks like that Tiger II has taken 3 direct hits to the frontal armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
