Photographer’s Note

An american tank 'Sherman' in front of the museum of Ardennes battle.

On 16th December, 1944 Wermacht started its last big offense at the Western front - the Ardennes battle. Despite the opinion of american generals, copied by Hollywood, and the fact that Nazi forces were annihilated later, this battle was a success of Nazi army (and, especially, its intelligence) and complete disaster for Americans, proving one more time that US Army was able to win by numbers only.

Hi Igor,
For the lack of critiques, it seems like an unpopular subject. But it's a goos shot. Good angle, good exposure and very nice autumn background. And the museum has important role. We can't learn from history if we forget.
