German view of aftermath of initial encounter during German Ardennes offensive in World War 2. These scenes are from an area where the German Kampfgruppe Hansen (a battle group formed during the Battle of the Bulge from SS-Panzergrenadierdivision Regiment 2, an infantry regiment of SS Pz Rgt 2 "Das Reich") engaged elements of the U.S. 14th Cavalry Group north of Poteau, Belgium, near Ligneuville, during the "Battle of the Bulge." Americans were forced to abandon much equipment and supplies, as these scenes show. Abandoned armor and guns along the roadway. A United States 3" anti-tank gun abandoned at the roadside. A German Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer (Sd.Kfz. 162) drives past. German soldiers sit under a wrecked United States armored car and smoke American cigarettes.
