This is the medieval gate on the North side of Waldfeucht. As you can see, it's not quite wide enough for a Tiger tank.

The South Gate - or 'under gate' (which was demolished a few weeks after the battle, in 1945).

APOTHEEK

APOTHEEK WALDFEUCHT

The Apotheek - the Chemists - in which Lt. Peter White set up his platoon HQ.

DESTROYED HOUSE

The destroyed house - bombed during Operation BLACKCOCK, shortly before the 4th / 5th Battalions of the KOSB entered the Waldfeucht.

A prominent building in the town -- a tavern in the main square - which was used as the Battalion HQ for 5KOSB.

THE SCHOOL

Waldfeucht school - now used as the town's museum.

WALDFEUCHT CHURCH

Rebuilt during the 1960s, St. Lambertus Church was partly destroyed during the battle for Waldfeucht.

THE CORNER CAFE
