We few... Posted November 6, 2010 Share #129 Posted November 6, 2010 And this would be a centerpiece of every US helmet collection. A paratroopers helmet with markings of the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion. This was donated by the veteran pictured in the background display. The veteran is named Joe Cicchinelli, A company. As far as I know he never donated an original helmet with the typical 551st palmtree. Thanks for sharing your trip though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theblackbox Posted November 11, 2010 Share #130 Posted November 11, 2010 Here is a picture of the 893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion moving up the Kall trail. This picture is actually not taken on the Kall trail but south of Schevenhütte on November 18th 1944. The location is just north of a hamlet (very aptly named) Bend. This road is called "Zum Backofen" and leads into Schevenhütte from the southwest. The 893rd TD Bat. are moving in the direction of Schevenhütte on this picture.

1canpara Posted February 2, 2011 Share #131 Posted February 2, 2011 Hi Stephan, just found this thread and read it with great interest and fascination! I have been through the Bastogne area, but have not yet been to the Hurtgen forest and hope to this spring as me and some buddies are heading over there for a couple of weeks in May. This tour you took and shared with us will be of great assistance! Thanks again for sharing it! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
