The German Army laucnhed a quick attack on this village during the Battle of the Bulge and managed to quickly surround it which resulted in many American units being trapped. Many troops were captured and a bloody battle left the village strewn with wounded and dead men from both sides. Medical units stayed behind and are allowed to tend to their own wounded. German soldiers are liberating whatever supplies they can find, a chaplain prays for a dead trooper while a german sniper stays close by as a guard.
A us medical jeep driver asks a german trooper with 3 captors if he can have any morphine which his fellow medic may have. The german asks the standing medic to check.
A german soldier swaps his boots while guarding 2 prisoners including a captured tanker. Infront of him 2 SS men have noticed something interestin gon one pof the village streets and are both looking in that direction.
A US stretcher team carries a wounded friend towards the centre of the village where the Germans are ordering all captured sodiers to be rounded up.
This is one of my 3 Winter dioramas. Started it last year and really wanted to create a town scene which utilized the captured and wounded US troops as well as the medical vehicles. The Dodge and trailer are from the DD Dodge and paratrooper set.
The Chaplain was a lucky find at the June London show this year!^&grin
Really like the different figures, such as wounded, dead, germans with captured k rations, simply brilliant, hoping for more like this!
Hope you enjoy!
