Can anyone point me in the direction of any sites that may have some good images of this battle?
It may be a very trivial question but I'm new to WWII modeling as I've been doing mostly modern vehicles.
Thanks ahead of time,
Sean

Hey Sean
I know there are a few sites from the Allied/US perspective, and being that I don;t model Axis stuff I can only imagine there would be more than enough from their perspective? I'd try 'generic' Axis armour sites with archive photos. There are certain to be a plenty of shots from the battle.
Some key words to try with a search engine could include:
December 16 1944
Wacht am Rhein
Ardennes Offensive
4th AD
10th AD
101st airborne
Bastogne
Stavelot
St Vith
Manhay
Houffalize
Mageret
Wardin
Fifth Panzer Army
Manteuffel
Kampfgruppe Peiper
Happy hunting

Well looking in the German area of tanks they had Tigers, King Tigers, Panthers and Mark IV's and for the U.S. side Shermans pretty much which are quite popular amongst modellers.
