Archaeologists have used high-resolution LiDAR equipment mounted on a drone to investigate a section of the battlefield of the Battle of the Bulge (December 1944 to January 1945), revealing almost 1,000 previously unknown features.

The battle was Germany's final major offensive on the Western Front, and one of the largest and bloodiest of the Second World War.

However, dense forest cover in the area meant that most traces of the battle in the landscape remained hidden. Aerial photographs cannot see through the tree canopy, and the battlefield is too large to survey entirely on-foot.
