Ardennes vacation pics

[Enigma]

Hi All

Me my brother, our parents and brothers kids went to a holiday resort, offcourse we chose the Ardennes in the middle of the battlearea near Trois Ponts.

 

In fact so close Peiper passed our holidayhouse about 300 feet away back then.

Enjoy.

First the wellknown Kingtiger at La Gleize.

 

The next ones made at the Poteau museum. The 2 good looking Halftracks are used for excursions to the site of the ambushed US column featured in a famous German made propaganda footage.

 

Nice Firefly in Vielsalm.

 

Hotton.

Manhay.

Parkers Crossing at Baraque de Fraiture.

La Roche de Ardennes.

 

Panther abandoned at Grandmenil after it ran out of fuel.

We were able to get inside because 1 of the covers which were used to weld the entrances sat loose on the right side of the hull.

Great pics, thanks. Is that a 17 pounder on the Sherman or the American 76mm? I'm no expert but I'm sure somebody on here will know.

After taking a closer look, the Vielsalm one isn't a Firefly I think.

Could be the 76 mm, not sure though....
