Zoom of above photo, main route is Vieux Chateau, one of the main routes of German armor for crossing the stone bridge over the Ambleve River.  It was along this stretch of road that Pieper tanks used just before emerging onto the bridge.  You can guess the difficulty in hitting the tanks when they pass behind the houses.  They did succeed in destroying at least one Panther in the small portion just in the middle of the picture.

Ferme Rensonnet  was located just where the road turns the corner and descends towards Stavelot.  In the woods to the left is La Corniche, where the roadblock by the 291st Engineers was. (Hans Weber)
