    Here are some shots from the trip 272VGD and i did a week after our las Eifel trip, this time there where the same conditions like in 1944 witch resulted in some nice pictures and a few findings.

    Some pictures along the road to the area where we where going to search:

    I also would like to add some pictures of that weekend with Aru-Ed in the woods.
    Also some small findings done by me, a nice German coin, US eye shield and a US razorblade...

    Great stuff guys! Especially of the two rock stars in the snow!
    That must have given you a small sense of what is like back then!
