Before the Ardennes barrage
Four greatcoated infantrymen move through snow in a scene inspired by the opening of the German Ardennes offensive. On 16 December 1944, the attack struck an Allied front considered relatively quiet. This set places the emphasis on the men approaching the line, before the wider battle becomes visible.
The greatcoats lend weight to every step. Winter clothing, personal weapons and carried equipment all had to move along the same narrow routes as the army’s vehicles and supplies. Those crowded approaches through the Ardennes helped turn the campaign into a struggle for roads and junctions as well as the ground between them.
