Hi all

I have just read Antony Beevors book "Ardennes 1944 - Hitlers last game" and I was wondering if there were any lists available with the different types of vehicles used in the battles both by the Americans and the Germans?
Can anyone recommend a good book with lots of pictures from the battle?

It is written that a Ferdinand was used in the battle. Does anyone know more about this?

Thank you very much for any input.

Ole,
That is a pretty tall order to list all of the vehicles used on both sides. For the US side pretty much everything that you could imagine that was still around by late '44; M4A1, M4A3, M4A3E2 (Jumbo), M10, M36, M18, M2 and M3 half-tracks, plus innumerable softskin vehicles. For the German side, Tiger II, Panthers, Mk IV, Hetzers and all manner of assault guns, as well as half-tracks (Sd. 250 and 251) but most probably no Ferdinand.
As far as a book of photos you might try "Battle of the Bulge, Photo History of an American Triumph" by John Bruning. You can pick it up on Amazon pretty cheap. If you want to spend a bit more try "Battle of the Bulge, Then and Now" from Jean-Paul Pallud.
Hope this helps at least a bit, I'm sure others can chip in with some direction for you.

Cheers,
Rick
