Ardennes 2004

 

This is my impression of the Ardennes Battlefield Tour, organized by the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' in Oosterbeek.

Since I am still working on this site it is far from being complete. In future I will put more pictures of the tour on this site. Therefore please visit this site again.

It was an unforgettable Battlefield Tour. A professional guide together with a well documented  brochure told us the story of the Battle of the Bulge. My compliments to the driver who drove us  safety along narrow roads in the Ardennes. We were a nice travel company. Most of them also made the 2003 Normandy Tour, also organized by that museu. The weather was nice. In contract with December and January 1944. Hitlers last offensive in the West took place under bad weather circumstances with ice and snow. This offensive in the Ardennes is also called Battle of the Bulge.
