thnx aaron it helps in some ways,but is there any visual references on the allies as to how they were postioned in the forest,i have new pics from people but not pics from the time,the new pics show how foxholes looked,and thats about it lol

I wouldn't get too worried about it Ole. The Ardennes campaign was very fluid & any defensive positions would have been made on haste. So foxholes would be more like scrapes in the ground.

What I would think of is the many blocking actions that successfully held up the German advance, usually at great cost to the US forces.

you`re right there wifey said same thing,this is based on the first wave after the first lot of shelling,when the allies were taken by surprise

Well if it's the initial attack, don't go for whitewashed vehicles as there was no snow at that time. Snow didn't start falling in any great amount until 22/12, almost a week into the attack.
