99th U.S. Infantry Div.) and their part in the Battle of the Bulge.
They held a position on Elsenborn Ridge in Belgium. When I looked at a
map that showed information on the battle lines, I was surprised when
the names of the nearby towns just leaped out at me -- Stavelot,
Malmedy, Lingueville. These were just a few miles from Elsenborn. I
wonder if he actually went through or near these towns during
his "travels" in 1944-45?
It's strange to ponder that they were holding international races in
this area just a few years after so many American and German soldiers
had lost their lives in the fierce fighting of those times...
