Town re-captured in the Ardennes (1 Viewer)

[Shadowfax]

The ardennes offensive lost momentum after the US was able to re-organise their defences and when good 'old blood and guts' came into the picture in the relief of the Siege of Bastogne, the game was over for the Germans.

Here, a long line of German prisoners was marched into certain captivity through a town in Belgium.




The Germans look weary as they trudged through the town, well guarded by US GIs.




"Good old blood and guts" haughtily look on from his M20 Armoured Car as a German officer wanted to speak with him. Nearby a US MP checked the documents of the German prisoners streaming past the checkpoint.




Some US GIs having a meal and drink nearby. Cafe is closed. No problem, let us cook our own. We deserve something warm in this snow.




Belgium civilians watched as the German POWs and a US truck carrying a lucky wounded German POW went past. The German ardennes offensive had finally been crushed.

WOW, some intense scene. Serious collecting here, not to mention the cost (this translates to the cost of a small car^&grin). You have put a great deal of thought into this and nailed it.:salute::, Robin.

Hi Guys,

Beautiful little scene (actually not so little) and blend of old and new “Battle of the Bulge” figures and vehicles.

Also nice to see how the two kind of buildings – façade and 3 dimensional work so well together.

Keep up the great work “Shadow fax” – very well done!

All the best,

Andy C.​
