I Live in Luxembourg just south of the limit of the Bulge created by the German advances of December 1944. I can travel for half an hour, and I am on site !

My objective is to follow-up on an old idea I had of re-tracing the events of the Battle of the Bulge, from a modern perspective using my camera as the driver.

The source of my steps is taken simply from some 1940’s art work I discovered when reading some rather good books published on the Battle of the Bulge. Both books listed below feature artwork by US military artist Harrison Standley.
