And for last, Bastogne sherman turrets on all roads in to the town to show that it was a sieged city.

The memorial over the american soldiers

Here it was not allowed to take pictures so just a pic from outside, alot of nice things inside and well worth a visit

Hi,Mats.

Great pictures,I have bin to 2 museums from your pictures as well! :woohoo:
I think I even have posted some same pictures you took,some time back!

It's hard to take pictures from items behind glass,isn't it?I experienced the same.

The Baugnez museum is at the place were the waffen SS killed a lot of U.S. Prisoners Of War.
[Malmedy massacre].The Schwimmwagen with German paratroopers,is one of the pictures I also took for sure!

By the way,I didn't get permission to take pictures at the La Gleize museum![the one with the KingTiger in front] :huh: :laugh:

Greetings,Ron.

the only things i wasn't allowed to take pictures of there was the fotos displayed, otherwise it was ok.
Yes it's a little tricky to get a good pic without the shine from the glass-monter.
