A couple of days after the vicious battle for La Gleize, in which Peiper's 6th kampfgruppe was finally eradicated, the American tank recovery teams came into the shattered village to claim the wreckage of the German armor. The local innkeeper's wife, Jenny Geenan, offered the Americans a bottle of cognac for one of the Tiger tanks in order to keep it in place as a memorial.
It's still there today if you visit La Gleize.
