Hey Adrian,
but not only pretty vehicles:
Maquis???
A nice little Boulangerie
German standard
Under new mangement
In the outskirts of Recogne a little earth-bunker
Then we marched down into Cobru, a little village under german conquer
not only with a sign of a Verbandsplatz
also with Luftwaffe-Flak units and their vehicles
and an authentic Lager in the cold Ardennes
Flakstellung
In service
Ohne Mampf keinen Kampf
Watching the crossings
A bad guy
MG-Post towards recogne
Searching for the hospital
again a little church as Verbandsplatz
Instruction of the Sanitäters
In front of the german HQ
New old stock
The lovely Halbkette
German Bikers for the Endsieg
and her trailers
Men, it was so could, only the Gulasch-Kanone was hot
Volkswagen for the german Wehrmacht-Volk
A dangerous crossyard
A Luftwaffe dispatch rider in the HQ trying to get instructions for the Flak in the Erdkampf
Rest will follow

very interesting stuff
Thanks for showing. A great time for sure! Ron
Yes, it was a great time indeed, including the authentic weather with all its difficulties for men and machines:
The barnes were full of german soldiers searching a bit of warmth
others had to watch outside
and even the modern cars had to run steadily
The artillery-tractors rest in the shell-Bunkers
even the hamburgers were nearly frozen
The Hospital was filling
and the Posts installed little open fires
Jeep-driving was not a pleasure in those times
But what the hack is that??? The Weihnachtsmann or a christmas-tree
Very young HitlerJugend in training
while the old Kämpfers eat their vitamines against the cold
nearby on the little roads the relics of the american retreat to Recogne and Foy
Later we went back to Recogne, where an shephard was watching for Germans
and some Posts were watching the fields towards the Germans
Back in Recogne, heavy armor arrived
But in the american sector the same picture
searching for a warm place to rest
I always thought that the Schweiz was neutral, but:
a schweizer Söldner arrived
or was he just looking because
of the cooking guys???
Typical barn in the Ardennes
In the evening a german Spähtrupp arrived in Recogne
but
had to withdraw because of the strenght
of the american reserves
with a Geheim-Waffe
More Pictures will follow

Alex,
Wow what a good day out that must have been. They're lovely pictures and what a great show it was.
Thanks for all your posted pictures.
LUCKYSTRIKE
Yes, but the day wasnot yet finished:
In the late afternoon we marched over Recogne and Foy to the famous wood of Foy
and looked at his foxholes and trenches
but the enemys with a patrol was already there
and we had to retreat into the woods
to the Memorial of Foy
which was occupied too by american troops
So we had to retreat to Houffalize where our Werkstatt-Kompanie pulled out a damadged Panther
out of the river
than and now
repainted it
and for the night we would have a strong vehicle to conquer Bastogne
so we drove through the night into town, which was hold by strong american forces
Free french
and belgian police
after our Panther had a quarrel with this
we gave up and retreated to Cobru for the night.
A long and cold day ended after fierce fighting.
Alex
Day two can follow, if you still want.
