A tank for a bottle of cognac?
This German “Königstiger II” was abandoned in the Belgian Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge (that started 75 years ago, in December 1944). Normally he would have been taken to be scrapped shortly after the war, but a woman from the village La Gleize (Jenny Geenen-Dewez, wife of a local inn-keeper) proposed the Americans who transported the Königstiger, to exchange the tank for a bottle of (French) cognac and ... they agreed! Believe it or not, this is a true story!
In 2015 the tank was repainted in its original colours. He is one of the 5 surviving tanks of this type in Europe.

The Königstiger II had 185 mm armour on the front of the cupola and was equipped with the famous 88 mm cannon. This cannon was one of the strongest cannons from WW II and could pierce the front armour of most Allied tanks (such as the T-34 and the M4 Sherman) up to a distance of 1500 metres. The range of the cannon was 10 kilometres.

"Het huisje zag er keurig uit op een paar kleine punten na. De kitranden in de douchebak kunnen wel weer een update gebruiken. De batterij van de klok was leeg, geen batterijen te vinden...het gat in de parasol voet was te groot en daardoor valt de parasol telkens om.Het huisje is voorzien van een leuk terras met een prachtig uitzicht. Je moet wel van klimmen houden als je naar je auto wilt.Verders prima hoor."

"Die Wohnung war ok. Es bedarf dringend einer Grundreinigung. Es wurde zwar geputzt, aber eher oberflächlich.Das Sofa ist sehr abgewohnt und auch fleckig, setzen mag man sich da nicht so wirklich. Parkplätze gibt es direkt vor der Haustür, das war auch der Grund unserer Buchung. Allerdings ist die Wohnung viel weiter weg von der Innenstadt als angegeben. Mit dem Fahrrad ist es nicht empfehlenswert.Es gibt mehrere Bushaltestellen in der Umgebung und mehrere Buslinien ins Zentrum, das funktioniert...
