Photographer’s Note

the system changed but....
In 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, the area was the site of the Malmedy massacre, where 84 American prisoners of war were murdered by German SS troops. Moreover, on 23, 24 and 25 December 1944 the city was bombed repeatedly by the United States Army Air Forces despite the fact it was actually under control of U.S. troops. Approximately 200 civilians were killed in the tragic attacks, while the number of American casualties has never been revealed by the U.S. Department of War.

Hi Henri,
Creative frame in three color to match with the color of US flag, human should love each other, hope no more war and fighting in future, natural to see withered leaves cover the land in autumn, thanks for sharing a silent corner.
