Photos of a traffic jam stuck in the woods for 70 years

Around the town of Chatillon, Belgium, the end of World War II left a few creepy hallmarks of the armistice in the form of long lines of cars left abandoned by the hundreds in the woods. While one theory goes that the cars belonged to Americans who left them in a hurry on their way off the continent, Bored Panda points out that no one really knows for sure. While there were initially four giant pileups with over 500 cars, only one remains rotting in the woods, a monument to the inexorable creep of entropy.

After reading some peoples comments, it looks like a lot are post WWII. Even then, it's an impressive 'old school meet'!

Lower Hutt front yards?

It would be awesome to randomly stumble across stuff like this in the middle of nowhere. More so to leave the odd fake skeleton in the drivers seat of a couple pointing at where people would likely stumble across them.

Is that taken in Canons Creek?

If it really is in Europe (some of those internet things are total BS!) Then it's quite possibly the result of the closure of a NATO base or something like that. Definitely a lot of USA iron there and 99% is very post WW2.

Yeah, I can't see a single prewar car amongst that lot.

Older car near the 51-ish Ford is a late Citroen Traction Avant (early 50's) due to larger boot.
