German convoy wrecked in Houffalize area

How tactical air power helped to halt von Rundstedt's counter-offensive is exemplified by this photo of a German convoy wrecked by Ninth Air Force fighter-bombers during recent fighting in the Houffalize area. A dozen vehicles, including a Sherman tank and half-track captured from the Americans, are strewn along this highway near Viller-LaDonne-Eau, Belgium.
