Looks like a fascinating place. That's for taking the time to show us.

Thanks for the extra pictures mate
... some more pics. The other side of the canteen shown with the first post. And civil use of former military equipment after the war: Denazificated belts which were allowed to wear without the swastika, a former German tunic which was retailored and an US bag used as a schoolbag.
In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
Very interesting. Earlier in the year I read Antony Beevor's book "Ardennes 1944" and recall the story of the fighting in Vossenack. You show a picture of the church which clearly has a replacement steeple. American Sherman tanks had fired at the steeple to destroy it, figuring either snipers or artillery observers would be using it.
