Captioned 'Advance Krinkelter Woods, Belg,' this Signal Corps photograph shows American infantrymen advancing through the snow-covered Krinkelter Wald near the Belgian-German border. This densely forested area was the scene of fierce fighting during the opening days of the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, as American units of the 2nd and 99th Infantry Divisions fought to hold the line against the German Ardennes offensive.
