For some reason that fourth one sends shivers down my spine - and not because it looks cold.

Care to explain, you made me curious.

I spent many hours trying to find a ME-109 that went down in the woods west of St, Vith... Never found it.

A few miles from where we stayed is a village called Baugnez, site of the Malmedy Massacre. There is a small memorial and a brandnew private museum. Very well done. On the second floor they had an engine displayed of a Me-110 which was dug-up in 2007. There's still plenty of metal in the ground and trees.
The owner of the place we rented said that complete parts of forests are left untouched because of the amount of scrapnel in the wood.
