Default Hurtgenwald 29/04/2009

Because this site was down for a wile placed the last trip I made in April, sorry for the delay

A small afternoon to search again in the Hurtgenforrest.
I was already there but I need to search more on that place.
Many foxhole's and german line's in the woods
My first bliep....a granaat




Put it back with lot of ground on it
I saw many kraters so I think that there wil be more
So I moved on and found a big German line.
It was caved in rocks and stone but not with this boy here:


A lot of buttons but nothing else and that's strainges

Move on and there my best piece of this day
A real German koppelschlosch I thonk Wehrmacht there were note's of Falshirmjager in the neighberhood so....yes....




A lot of Ammo also a peice from a K98


Shoe ?



A litlle peace from a bajonet (garrant) also some buttons again andf leather







That smal peace is from a MG it is a tool for it



The detonator is already (i didn't now that it was)

Great finds, Spideyman.

I found a very similar looking piece of fabric, that you show in photo seven, when I was in the Hurtgen forest last year.

The item in the bottom left of your last photo looks like part of the fuse from either a german M39 egg grenade or an M43 stick grenade ?

The belt and buckle are an amazing find !

Rall is an unknown quantity at this point

That "shoe" was an American Shoe-pac. It's a winter overshoe. Simply fits over your boots, goes up about half your calf, and buckles around your leg and boot. Great find.
