MattOravik Posted June 21, 2008 Share #197 Posted June 21, 2008 My "dug ups" & barn finds from Belgium, mostly from the Belgian/German border, the northern sector of the bulge, 82nd A/B area & Bastogne. To me those relics from the battlefield are just the coolest thing. No question weather they were there in the action or not. Awesome collection! -Matt. Link to post Share on other sites
