This Sunday, the Daily Mail published some newly discovered photos that really bring home the cold winter of 1944-45 in the Belgian Ardennes. Some are color photos, but all reveal details that we as collectors, re-enactors and modellers find interesting.

Don’t mind the sometimes inaccurate captions with the photos. They tell their own story without words. I am most amazed by how well they convey the winter conditions. Nothing like our winters in Belgium today.
