Is Captain Kent's account about fighting against the Tigers at the Werimont Farm at La Gleize, where 211 and 213 were both knocked out? I don't...
Hello Marcus, I'll try to get permission from Schiffer to scan and post some pages; I don't know if that will be permitted, but I'll ask. I know...
Martin showed this house in the Rue Haut Rivage in Stavelot .. this shot was taken in 1994, before any of the bullet damage was repaired. I wish...
I love "then and now" shots! This location wasn't directly related to the Tigers, but they passed it - "Massacre Field" at Baugnez. The b&w one...
For those on Facebook, I put up a book page about "Tigers in the Ardennes." The page will have photos not included in the book, along with new...

I envy you guys; I haven't leaned against 213 in a long time! Best, Greg
Yes, I did. A book was the intent all along; it took a while to get it finished and published. Thanks, Greg
This is the Ambleve between Stavelot and Trois Ponts, taken during the winter of 1994.
Coming in late to this one, but a fascinating discussion! I would agree that when looking at streams in the area, even the Ambleve, in good...
Thanks for the nice welcome! Best, Greg
Hi all, thanks for the welcome! Sandwichery, I was in 3rd Armored Division in Büdingen 1980-83 (3-12 Cav), the back in 1993 in USAREUR HQ in...
