Last week I visited some remaining foxholes in Foy of the 506th AB near Bastogne. It was really a big distance between the treeline and the village as you see the episode of Band of Brothers where the soldiers cross the open field.
After that I visited the museum near Poteau wear the 14th Cavalry Group run into an ambush and where some famous pictures were made.(check the internet)
Really interesting and inspiring for making new diorama’s for playing A&A as I’m making my own diorama’s andn repainting the models in original colorsschems (after '43).
This spring I visited already La Gleize and Bastogne where I met 2 veterans of the 506th.

RE: Question?
I’m playing A&A mini’s because it is very easy to play also for children. You can buy the different tanks on the net or eBay.
I’m also repainting the tanks and making diorama’s to make it more realistic. I even add spotters with off board artillery and reinforced positions for infantry en artillery combined with self made barbed wire f.e.If you look on the net you can find a lot off information and photo’s.

RE: What country had the best trained infantry in WWII?
I agree the Germans had the best infantry because they took their own decisions, were motivated, had the best equipment,….
But the high officers were often afraid to take a tactical decision that was against Hitlers plans. Von Paulus he followed Hilter’s plans and ended up in a surrounded Stalingrad altough there were several attempts to liberate him, he never gave the order to break out. -
