They will not give ground......all over the Bulge there is resistance and even though good progress is made when the kampfegruppe changes axis and swings south through the better tank country, the tough nut of Bastogne continues to choke the road network and soak up the support troops behind it.....

The Germans pull back, rest and rearm as best they can. Food is brought up to the front line and the 'scavengers' take full advantage of the lull in the fighting.....

To panda1gen, this is the nuts. I agree it is like watching the History channel. I like this better than tv. What a talent from your highly detailed photos, to your German General narritive. I love the buildings and land scape work. Keep the photos comming, very impressive. I am new at this site, I do make things, but after seeing your work, I have alot of learning to do. Keep up the great work. I can't afford K&C, I collect Conte plastics and like doing conversions. I hope to show some of my buildings and walls soon. Great Diorama Mike.

I am going to have to go along with Mike on this on! Except I am not so new. I still have a lot to learn;) Thank you for sharing all your work with us!
 
Just a tic here! You are also one of the reasons I got into the BoB stuff in the first place! Don't make me get out of my coffin!
