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.

"Die Wohnung liegt in einer idylisschen Lage und ist in einer Appartment Anlage mit mehrerern Wohnblöcken. Die Anlage sieht optisch etwas veraltet aus, die Wohnung selbst ist zwar nicht topmodern, aber dafür sauber und funtkional. Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt ist sie völlig ausreichend. Die Wohnanlage befindet sich außerhalb von Kelmis am Waldrand. Sie ist schön begrünt und bepflanzt. Überall stehen Bänke zum Verweilen. Das Wohnen war sehr erholsam und ruhig.

"The apartment was perfect for the purpose of our trip. A few minutes walk to the train station was ideal. We had everything we needed in the apartment after a day out. Adam and Laura were delightful! They went above and beyond with a birthday surprise. "

"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."

Hotel Verviers Van der Valk

10/10 Excellent

"Was woken up at 5am by a boy racer in the adjoining car park doing doughnuts for 15mins. The room was large but very poorly designed. We arrived on a Friday evening and the outside dining was excellent with music and a great vibe. The surrounding area lacked charm but we managed to find a nice coffee shop and a chocolate museum. Hotel had a swimming pool which I wished I had used but was not well advertised. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. "
