Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2000

In this work, The author retraces the fields of the battle in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany which were once bitterly contested killing grounds in the struggle to halt Hitler's final gambit in the West. The battle touched dozens of towns and villages throughout the Ardennes and each is depicted through the photographer's lens in 1944-45 and exactly 50 years later. Vorwald manages to precisely match the wartime photographs with present-day comparisons, and has striven in many cases to achieve a "weather match". Presented in an easy-to-use alphabetical format, the precise location where each picture was taken is indicated on accompanying sketch maps, with instructions on how to get there, giving this publication a secondary role as a useful guide book to historic sites of the Battle of the Bulge.
