Friend of Da Houze Lesley send us this old picture he found locally where he lives….
Place Mac Auliffe is the center of Bastogne where the heart of WWII at the end. (The battle of the Bulge of Ardennes).
Under German leadership of “the most cruel man of Europe” SS-colonel Otto Skorzeny Germans want to attack again and no longer defend.
Thanks God General Patton and Field Marshal Montgomery could stop this German madness and keep Antwerp (the ultimate goal of this battle) in allied hands….
Shortly after the war there was still a Sherman tank on this market square, as a souvenir… frequently visited by German Split window beetles…. nicely together….
What did the world change a lot in such a short period of time…:)
Enjoy your Sunday
