Hurtgenwald

The start from Vossenack

Into the Kall trail

Kall river and bridge at the bottom of the Valley

Back up at the Kommerscheid/ Schmidt side of the valley

Various Bunkers and WW2 memorials

All bunkers where destroyed after the battle.

This one in the forest

At this one you could still see the shape of the trenches leading to and around the bunker.

At Hill 400

I called Mafia Capo when I arrived at Hill 400 to tell him I destroyed the garrison, but he did not pick up the phone.
Very steep hill and the view is insane. To be honest that Hurtgenwald period could be considered as a warcrime to your own troops.
Bergstein church has still some bullet impacts on the door frame.
