Recto, [no inscription]; Verso, typed [on adhered label]: 11) The contra-offensive of the Germans started on December 17th, 1944 / and was a last, desperate sttempt to prevent Germany’s crash. Hitler / threw into this offensive all his reserves-his best troops and / equipment. Lots of the newest types of German tiger tanks are still / to be seen in the woods besides the roads. Tires and other still / usable parts of motors have been removed. The tanks however pro- / bably will remain where they are for the time being, as there are / no means to take them away.; stamped [upside down]: Photo: A. B. C. -/ Copyright by / A.B.C.
