Abwehrschlacht im Huertgenwald.

Here a US razorblade found in a foxhole.

 

Another razorblade.

 

German coin.

 

Nice!! It looks brand new! incredible you can still find these kinds of things after over 60 years.

 

the coin is a bit battered though, but still a nice witness of the battle.

 

And the swastika still visible. Nice stuff for decoration.

 

Well guys, I'm back from the weekend.
Didn't found something special.... but my friends digged up some nice items.... US messting with name and number, medical bottles, US officer belt, italian medal, necklace with a christian cross on it, 3 US army toothbrushes... and other stuff.
It was my "location"... so I had done good research.... at least that is something. And I had a nice time.

 

Better luck next time?

Did you visit the Museum? Excellent museum!

 

Which museum?....

 

Gemeinde Hürtgenwald

 

Thats closed this time of the year...

I also went to the Eifel area, not the Hürtgenwald region.
Thats 50 km's away.

 

Didn't knew. Sorry. Only asked if you visited it (not knowing it was closed).

 

Bummer, it's your location and they get the glory! I hope they will send you pictures at least.

 

Indeed, but my Belgian friend who found the messtin with name has come in contact with the familys owner!!!!!!!! The orginal owner was killed in the region on 1st of March.

 

.30 cartridge belt.
Found by a friend of my a while ago when we where searching in the woods north of the Hürtgenforest.

 

2 full M1 carbine magazine's with remains of the bandolier, found on the same location of the .30 cartridge belt.
Poor condition.

US MKII pineapple detonator.
