A Little Ardennes Tour
#3

The halftrack. Behind the halftrack you can see the bridge which was used by Kampfgruppe Peiper to cross the Ambleve river.

After Stavelot I went to Malmedy. It was my intention to go to Baugnez where the Malmedy massacre took place. About 80 American prisoners where killed by men from Kampfgruppe Peiper. Only 2 Americans survived the massacre. In Malmedy I drove in the wrong direction so I had to turn <_< . Then traffic jam :cuss: and so it became 5.45 when I arrived at Baugnez and the museum closed 15 minutes later. So I have to go back up there. I went to the monument of the Malmedy Massacre which is on a crossroads 100 meters from the new Baugnez museum.

 

An erie place.

 

First stone.

All the troopers who were massacred have their names in the wall.

Well that's it. I had to go back home. When I make another tour I will surely post another trip report here.

 

Regards,
