Very nice little dio. But the the Battle of the Bulge was fought in the winter, Why is there green grass and no snow?

Too many Schwimmwagens are clean underneath. I like how you have captured the look of the vehicle had actually crossed a few muddy streams. subfixer has a point and if entered in a contest you may want to change the location & time of your vignette.

I especially like the signs; it adds excellent realism to what might be Kampfgruppe Peiper?

In response to subfixer's comment about snow: In the early stages of the battle, there actually was no snow on the ground, as evidenced by many well known photographs (including those that apparently inspired this diorama).
