Our way went to Tintange which is also just a tiny villiage but saw severe fighting during the battle of the Bulge. December 24, 1944, I./FJR 15 fought hard against the US 80th Inf Div. to hold on the village. The US 80th Inf Div had severe casualties. Only after 8 P-38 Lightnings attacked the village and supported the allied troops, Tintange fell.
The Btl command poste of Hptm. Berneike was in the castle of Tintange. Well I could not find any castle but the building behind the church could be meant in the memories of my vet who fought with I./FJR 15
