The Battle of the Bulge
Tuesday, October 5 – Thursday, October 14, 2010
Join Jeff Driscoll on this ten-day trip to Belgium
and Luxembourg to visit some of the most intriguing
battlefields in our history: Waterloo, the Hürtgen
Forest, and the Battle of the Bulge. We’ll
start our journey in Brussels, spending a day seeing
a bit of this beautiful city. The following
day we’ll go to Waterloo and see where, on
June 18, 1815, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte
was defeated for the last time. The next day
it’s off to Germany, where we’ll visit
the Hürtgen Forest, scene of some of the worst
fighting ever experienced by American forces during
World War II.
 Over
the next four days we’ll
follow in the steps of German and U.S. forces as
they battled each other in America’s biggest
fight of the war – in the Ardennes, in what
we now call the Battle of the Bulge. Included
in our trip will be visits to some of the best museums
at those sites. While in the Ardennes, we’ll
be staying in the picturesque town of Clervaux, Luxembourg,
where on December 17, 1944, heavy fighting took place
between U.S. and German forces during the opening
stages of the Bulge.
