Default SNOW Eifel November 2008
Here are some shots from the trip 272VGD and i did a week after our las Eifel trip, this time there where the same conditions like in 1944 witch resulted in some nice pictures and a few findings.

Some pictures along the road to the area where we where going to search:









In the side of a dugout i found these US radio items from the signal corps:

















Some more pictures from the area:

























Some piece of trench art:













And some bad pictures from the dangerous trip back home:

I also would like to add some pictures of that weekend with Aru-Ed in the woods.
Also some small findings done by me, a nice German coin, US eye shield and a US razorblade...
