The Schnee Eifel is a heavily wooded landscape in Germany’s Central Uplands that forms part of the western Eifel in the area of the German-Belgian border. Two regiments of the U.S. 106th division and all their supporting units, approximately 7,000 men, surrendered to the German Army in this area in late December 1944 — the most extensive defeat suffered by American forces in the European Theatre.

Military History

Battle of the Bulge vet shares his tales

King & Country has produced a new Jeep with three American soldiers, on a reconnaissance patrol where they’ve just heard something… Is it the distinctive rumble of a German Tiger? The set includes the driver, a soldier manning a .30 caliber machine gun, and a passenger with his trusty M1 Garand seated in the rear. The whole vehicle is crusted with ice and snow and has seen hard use; the fold-down windshield of the Jeep has been covered with canvas to keep the patrol from being spotted due to an errant glint of light off the glass. This set is priced at $199, and is sure to be popular with avid and casual collectors alike.
