The Van Ginkel family relax while on holiday The Ardennes Battlefield Revisited:
Part One

Recently we posted a photograph of Hans van Ginkel’s eldest son Niels standing in front of Tiger 213 holding a copy of Devil's Charge. The photo was taken at La Gleize outside of the 'December 1944' museum which commemorates the Ardennes offensive. During their visit, Hans and the rest of his family took numerous photos of the displays held within the museum and of several of the World War Two era vehicles used to commemorate the battle and the men who took part. The van Ginkel family were kind enough to share with us their photos so we could share them with the Flames Of War community.
