The American Forces in Bastogne are surrounded and outnumbered by elements of the German Army.
A few Sherman tanks have survived and helped form a very thin perimeter around the town.
This one has found a neat little corner. The crew have thrown some tarps and sheets over their tank to help concealment.......The first snow has fallen, and having flattened a section of fence, the crew wait, grim faced in their tank, their gun facing the direction of the expected attack.
Rock hard ground....No sinky in!
The crew couldn't find any barbed wire to block the footpath, so they used some fence wire they found in the shed!.....Me thinks that's a sublime act of wiggling off any potential hook!
I hope you approve of my attempt at a corner of Bastogne.
The tank might not be accurate for the time, but it's the only one I have. I build just for fun anyway....
Cheers all and thanks for looking.
