From Brussels: The battle of the Bulge & Bastogne

Hitler last offensive on the Western front during December 1944. took place in the dense forests of the Ardennes region and around the city of Bastogne. The Wehrmacht aim to confuse and to split the Allied forces, and to capture the port of Antwerp, failed mostly due to the heroic action of American forces in Bastogne and the Ardennes sector. Come with me on a memorable tour to visit this site, walk in them, hear the big stories behind the tactics and the generals, and the small stories of the soldiers. ​
