Greetings again to you Axel, what a great trip you had that sale of militaria looks great, so many rare and wonderful pieces of equipment and all in its original setting.
I love all the period pictures you've included, there are many that I've never seen before, so it has been a great treat to go through them all one by one.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post them.
Best Wishes
LUCKYSTRIKE

Yes, they are missing.
This was a very cold and snowy winter in the Ardennes.
The German didn't have enough boots, often only shoes for the soldiers and so they took away american boots or german boots from the dead soldiers.
Even the civilians took away boots and other things.
American soldiers sometimes wear german boots but normally they were afraid to do so, because they thought that they were shot in case of capture from Waffen-SS soldiers.

ÄHM??? Do you need my glasses. I c'ant see a Panther, only a TigerII.
Nobody killed him, he killed itsself.
Mister Dollinger and his crew had to leave him.

According to the excellent ss501panzer.com, this is what happened to Tiger 213 and others on 22 December 1944.
I've refrained from copying and pasting his text as the author discourages it but the explanation's in the fourth paragraph. The site really is worth a visit though.
