King Tiger Tank 213, La Gleize, the Ardenne, Belgium.
2:56 Skip to tank
The video starts with me looking for and not finding a pretty remarkable landmark (no messing about with statues and plaques in La Gleize) a Tiger tank.
Considering the size of the village it takes some time to find the tank (I mean, it's not exactly big is it?). La Gleize is significant in the Battle of the Bulge because this small village is as far as the Germans advanced in their counter-attack in the Ardennes.
Why upload the search for the tank? I think it gives the viewer a better understanding of where things are in case they want to visit and also shows some of the excitement I feel when going on these tours. You do not come across a Tiger tank like this on a normal day.
I digress. Obviously I find the tank and give a quick tour of King Tiger tank 213 (that is important as you will see in the video) to give an idea of the size and dimensions of this massive machine (Allied soldiers often talked with fear and respect about the sound of the German Tiger tank).
I would like to add to the final part of the clip when I talk about the shop. I think it is called Ardennes 44 Military Antiques and is linked to the museum here in La Gleize. I do not think it has an online presence beyond a Facebook page. Anyway, as I say in the clip, if you have loads (and I mean loads) of cash, then this little shop has the best selection of original uniforms, shell casings, WWII original equipment etc I have seen. The prices seem high so I may be talking rubbish on their relative value but it really has some good stuff (if you disagree please add a message I will stop raving about it).
