80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge remembered in Bastogne this weekend.

Likely the last time a few veterans were present.

That is just too frickin' stunning.

I bet there were some worried Belgians  :grin:

"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Not really.  The Germans promised they wouldn't stay 4 years this time.

This is a priceless thread that deserves bumping to the top.

That is some awesome footage.  Was anybody worried that the Russians might try to steal the King Tiger because they're running out of more modern tanks to use in Ukraine?
