Default Ardennes Forest 2009
Together with Spideyman i did a trip to the Ardennes Forest to do some searching, we never expected there would be so much snow, we did not find much but we had a great time in the surrounding area.
We took a lot of pictures, this is somewhat how it looked like in Dec. 1944.

yes, fantastic photo's - thanks for showing!


i'd say your right about not finding too much though, you'd need "Mr Plow" to help you move all the snow

Great photos. Some of mine follow showing intact foxholes outside of Bastogne/Foy. A rather warmer day, even in October!

I also would like to add my pictures of the the Bois Jacques. It's the forrest just outside of Bastogne with the foxholes E-Company was in. One picture overlooks the village of Foy which they had to assault in January 1945.
