The roads were pretty much dirt, but you add all that snow and heavy equpiment and it turns to MUD, thick and dark.
I'll poke around for more and post more later.....

A long time ago I read a book on the Bulge it said most of the roads in that area were used for logging
trees. so I would say dirt roads

Thanks for your help on this guys,those links were very helpful Quinten many thanks.

And water puddles where the road hasn't been churned up into mud by all the heavy traffic.
