Good morning to you all, Yesterday, by googling "Thirimont 1945", I stumbled over this site (thanks to "Nick"). As a member, for some years now, of other WW-2 related fora I was realy pleased to find another quality forum. I live in Belgium, an hour drive from the north shoulder of the battle of the Bulge area. (That was an easy introduction to my main area of interest). I like to study (and confront) all available sources concerning (small-unit) clashes in the many villages in the Ardennes. The result of these studys help me in giving (small scale) guided tours for my students. As an example: for two days I spent some hours in the village of Tintange where the I (less 2.Kp.)/15 FjR (5.FJD) was confronted on december the 25th 1944 with the advancing I/318th Inf. My forum name "WARNACH" links to the small village where the 4. armoured Div (CCA) had its first real fight on route to deblock Bastogne. I hope to be able to find (and share) informations on this forum. Peter (1966)
Hi Peter, I want to welcome you very much and again thanks for your information about the 5. FSJ. I just drove through Warnach yesterday, what are the chances. About Tintange... bought this one a few weeks ago; Yours friendly, Nick
Welcome Peter, It is good to have someone "on the ground" so to speak. I look forward to your contributions in the discussions.
