My daughter bought this story to my attention.. It's a fascinating story.

Very interesting indeed. You can see, for example, the light overcoats the guys were wearing, and the bloody awful conditions.

Sounds nice, but it's a rather sick hoax, and don't understand why people do this?? (Am not blaming you Peter!)

These pictures, in good quality are in the US Wartime Archives for years and years, and can be found too in this book:













Spread the word please about this, there's already too much nonsense in the internet!

Thanks Lex for researching and sorting that one out. There's some sick people out there.

Hi Lex,

Hope your keeping well,

Intersting pics ! .... "The Battle of the Bulge" is one area of the Second World War that really interests me, and yet I've not had the fortune go out there as of yet !

I'm normally found paying my respects in Normandy, Ypres, and Dunkirk on an annual basis .... I must plan a trip to the Ardennes !

Thanks for sharing those pictures!

Kind regards,

Mark
