Back to the crosssroads and still further north to LaGleize.
The museum was already closed, but it is sure worth a visit.
The King Tiger or "Königstiger" tank of the infamous 1st SS Panzer Division "Leibstandarte A H" still guards the road.
This damage was caused when 82nd Airborne troopers tried out several AT-weaponry to see if they would penetrate the frontal armor of this beast ....... they did not!
Mark next to the King Tiger.
It gives a pretty good idea of the size of this monster.
From LaGleize, we returned through Vielsam.
Here, a Sherman with 7th Armored Division markings is standing (there is also a monument to the 7th further down the road).
By nightfall, we ended up in La Roche which is a beautiful town with a gorgeous castle ruin overlooking the town.
Here, among other things, a British Achilles Tank Destroyer stands guard.
This unit supported the 51st Highland Infantry Division when they moved up and linked up with the Americans.
At 7 minutes before midnight, we were back home.
Tired but happy to have seen what we wanted to see.
Sorry if the photos aren't state of the art, I'm no professional photographer and my digital camera isn't of the newest kind.
